' VBScript example : Importing and exporting a dotXSI file.

' This example uses the SIImportDotXSIFile and SIExportDotXSIFile

' commands, which do not prompt for the user for validation of 

' import/export parameters like ImportDotXSI and ExportDotXSI.

'---------------------------------------------------------

' Create a model, with some primitives.

dim ExportRoot

CreatePrim "Torus", "MeshSurface", "Torus", ExportRoot

CreatePrim "Cube", "NurbsSurface", "Cube", ExportRoot

' Since we are not getting a dialog to modify dotXSIExport options,

' We can specify them here, if we wish. To see what each parameter corresponds to,

' goto the .spdl file, <InstallationPath>\Application\spdl\C3DdotXSIExportOpt.spdl.

SetValue "dotXSIExportOptions.project_name", ActiveProject.Name

' Now delete the primitives and model, and re-import them.

' Again, since we do not get a dialog box to change import options, change them
