setdesigner Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Is there a way to export a 3d saved view to multiple format: 3dm, step, obj, fbx in one go ? A bit like the publish command with pdf and dwg... I looked at marionette but I don't see any export functions... Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 @Jesse Cogswell Do you have an export script? A script to do the exports would be relatively easy to do in Vectorscript. If you want the Publish type dialog box that lets you choose specific sheets to export and save sets, you will have way more code involved in the operator interface than in the actual script.

setdesigner Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 No, I don't necessarily need a Publish dialog. What would be great is to export several types with predetermined options in one go from a saved 3d view. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Unfortunately, most of the export options will need to show their dialog box and unless you can accept the defaults, require operator attention. But that might still be better than what you are doing now. There are direct vectorscript export commands for DXFDWG, IGES, STEP, SAT, STL and PDFPages. I have not looked at any of them hard enough to determine if there is a way to preset the parameters or if they just use the defaults. If you need other export formats, there is a VS command names "DoMenuTextByName" (often referred to here ad DMTBN). This command will basically let you call any command that is in your workspace. But it will then work just like if you were doing it manually. The first export command will start and wait for the user to set the parameters and click OK. The export will run. THEN the next export dialog will open. "Lather, rinse, repeat". I don't know of a way to get all the dialogs to run first so the user can go have lunch while the exports run in the background.

setdesigner Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I need FBX, 3DM, STEP, DWG, and OBJ. It is basicaly not to forget any and put everything in the same folder. At the end of the day when my concentration is low... I don't mind to have to click ok at each export dialog box. Thanks Quote Link to comment
