ObjExp : ExporterPlugin

The ObjExp ExporterPlugin introduced in 3ds Max 2010 exposes an interface to access the ASCII-based INI files location and name of the exporter dialog. The settings can then be queried and modified using the regular MAXScript INI settings functions getIniSetting() and setIniSetting().

ObjExp Interfaces:

Interface: iobjexp

Methods:

<string>objExp.getIniName ()

<string>objExp.getPresetIniName ()

   edit (objexp.getIniName())

   --Alternatively, use INI file access to read and write:
   theINI =objimp.getIniName()
   getIniSettingtheINI--get INI file categories

   --get the keys of the General category:
   getIniSetting theINI"General"
   -->#("UseLogging", "Preset", "MapSearchPath")

   --get the value of the General >Use Logging key:
   getIniSetting theINI"General" "UseLogging"
   -->"1"

   --Turn Loggingoff:
   setIniSetting theINI"General" "UseLogging" "0"
