Visual Studio

To build and run ImportExport:

1. Start Visual Studio.
2. Click File>Open>Project/Solution.
3. Navigate to the folder that contains the version of ImportExport for your version of Visual Studio, e.g.

   C:\Program Files\Autodesk\FBX\FbxSdk\2009.1\

    examples\UI Examples\ImportExport\

4. Open the project file for your version of Visual Studio. For Visual Studio 2005, the file is namedImportExport_net2005.vcproj. Visual Studio will create a new solution, and open the project inside that solution.
5. To build the file, click Build>Build Solution. Unless you modify the project, Visual Studio builds a debug version of the application (namedImportExport.exe), stored in theImportExport\Debugdirectory.
   NoteBuilding a debug version of ImportExport will generate many warning messages about missing PDB files, e.g.: “PDB 'xxxx.pdb' was not found....”.

   You can ignore these messages. They appear because the libraries shipped with FBX SDK are in release mode, and therefore do not contain debug information.

6. To execute ImportExport within Visual Studio, choose Start Debugging from the Debug menu. The dialog box for ImportExport will open. You can use it to select files for conversion to various file formats.
