ExportDotXSI

Description

Exports an object to a dotXSI file.

This command is accessed through the main menu by selecting File->Export->dotXSI. This command is equivalent to the SIExportDotXSIFile command, except that it inspects the dotXSI export options and requires user confirmation.

Note: Because this command requires user interaction, it is not suitable for use in batch scripts. Use the equivalent OM method instead: XSIFileService.ExportDotXSI.

Scripting Syntax

    ExportDotXSI( Model, [FileName] )

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
Model | String | Model to be exported Default Value: Selected model
FileName | String | Name of the file to export to

    CreatePrim( "Cube", "NurbsSurface", "Cube", ExportRoot );

    // Now specify to export the model to a dotXSI file
    var dotXSIFile = Application.InstallationPath( siUserPath ) + "\\MyModel.xsi";
    ExportDotXSI( "ExportRoot", dotXSIFile );

    // Now delete the primitives and model, and re-import them.
    DeleteObj( "ExportRoot.Torus" );
    DeleteObj( "ExportRoot.Cube" );
