The ObjImp ImporterPlugin introduced in 3ds Max 2010 exposes an interface to access the ASCII-based INI files location and name of the exporter dialog. The settings can then be queried and modified using the regular MAXScript INI settings functions getIniSetting() and setIniSetting() .
ObjImp Interfaces:
Interface: iobjimp
Methods:
<string>objImp.getIniName ()
Returns the name of the Obj Importer Settings file.
<string>objImp.getPresetIniName ()
Returns the name of the Obj Importer Preset file.
EXAMPLE:
``` --Open the INI file for editing in the MAXScript Editor edit (objimp.getIniName())
--Alternatively, use INI file access to read and write: theINI =objimp.getIniName() getIniSetting theINI--get INI file categories -->#("General", "Objects", "Geometry", "Units/Scale", "Material")
--get the keys of the General category: getIniSetting theINI "Geometry" -->#("FlipZyAxis", "CenterPivots", "Shapes", "TextureCoords", "SmoothingGroups", "NormalsType", "SmoothAngle", "FlipNormals")
--get the value of theGeometry>Shapeskey: getIniSetting theINI "Geometry""Shapes" -->"0"
--TurnShapes on: setIniSetting theINI "Geometry""Shapes" "1" -->true
```
