ImportDotXSI
Imports a dotXSI file into the current scene. This import file
must be in dotXSI format, and have .xsi as a file extension.
This command is accessed through the main menu, under
File->Import->dotXSI. This command is equivalent to the
SIImportDotXSIFile command,
except that it prompts the user for import options, and requires
confirmation.
Note: Because this command requires user interaction, it is not
suitable for use in batch scripts. Use the equivalent OM method
instead: XSIFileService.ImportDotXSI.
ImportDotXSI( [FileName], [Parent] ); |

|---|---|---|
| FileName | String | Name of the file to import
Default Value: A file browser will prompt for a file if no filename is provided. |
| Parent | String | Object or model to use as the parent of the imported .xsi |
