ImportDotXSI (XSIFileService)

Introduced

1.0

Description

Imports a dotXSI (.xsi) file. This method is safe to use in batch because it does not prompt the user for a location or for dotXSI import settings. The current dotXSI Import options are used with this method. To allow the user to change these settings, use the ImportDotXSI command instead.

Scripting Syntax

XSIFileService.ImportDotXSI( FileName, Parent )
