Hello… I would like to know if there is a feature in 3DSMAX or maybe a script available which allows you to save/export the link association between objects and be able to load/import this back in.

No there isn’t. It this sort of tool is very easy to write in Max Script. Might be time to learn it.

If you want to go the script route, perhaps this thread would be better moved to the Maxscript forum (it’s not really a rigging question per se).

Steve good idea, could you please move this thread to the script section.

Warning. These are very basic routines, not optimised in any way, no error checking etc.
Saving it…
(
local fName = "c:/hierarchy.txt", fh
fn getChildren theParent =
(
local ch, theChild
for ch = 1 to theParent.children.count do
(
theChild = theParent.children[ch]
format "\"%\" \"%\"\n" theParent.name theChild.name to:fh
if theChild.children.count != 0 then
getChildren theChild
)
)
fh = createFile fName
getChildren selection[1]
close fh
)
Loading it back…
(
local fName = "c:/hierarchy.txt", fh, objNames = #()
fh = openFile fName mode:"r"
while not eof fh do
(
theString = readLine fh
objNames = filterString theString "\" "
(getNodeByName objNames[2]).parent = (getNodeByName objNames[1])
)
close fh
)

There IS a script for that purpose (I wrote a time ago) - HierarchyState:

The idea behind is simple. You can solve this in an other way.
It fit my needs for the time it was made (just a note to the ‘professors’)
