| Xref filename - Max Script Bug?
|
|
|
Hi,
When ever i create an Xref in max, i am using a script to try and change the filename i.e.
$.filename = “myfile.max”
But this dosnt seem to change the objects property in Max 2010.. (worked previously in max 2009) and works correctly for the proxy dialog.
Any ideas why this function no longer works in 2010? (I am still able to change the property using max’s built in GUI but not via the script)
Ta,

I as well have been having issues with xrefs in regards to 2010...i’ve had that problem, and i also had a problem where switching from proxy to mesh view would snap the object to [0,0,0].
Does anyone have a solution for this?

I have tried to contact Tech support on this issue as its proving to be a massive hurdle for our tools.. But tech support seems to be having technical sisues of there own :(
.. I am also getting the issue with un resolved Xrefs appearing at 0,0,0. I think 2010 is gone a bit wierd.

Thanks for looking more into this...if i find a solution during our process i will post, if you find one, please let me know.
The only solution i’ve got kind of working for me...idk exactly how you are making the xref’s but.. by doing this, seems to work, for whatever reason
----------------------------------
newXref = xrefs.addNewXrefobject importedFile.fileName importedFile.Mesh[1]
newXref.proxyfilename = importedFile.filename
newXref.objectName = importedFile.Mesh[1]
newXref.proxyobjectname = importedFile.Proxy[1]
newXref.useProxy = true
----------------------------------------
I dont remember why this works...but doing it in this order seems to work correctly, on the short test cases i’ve done.
I believe it was the assigning ‘.proxyfilename’ instead of ‘.filename’ was the solution.

Six months since this problem was adressed.
I’m very surprised and disappointed that Autodesk never resolved this crucial issue.
No news? (I can’t test it with 2011, since the prod here started with that 2010)
