FBX preset

[José Miguel Aragüés]

Hi there people;
Version 2016.5 here, I haven't tested on newer versions of MAYA.
I have to export FBX scenes and each time I have to do it, I need to check the FBX options because MAYA doesn't remember the settings.
I've seen this post talking about that and the solution is to create a FBX preset.
But I can't do it. I create the preset (it is created in the presets folder correctly) but that preset doesn't show up in the export window no matter what.
Anyone can confirm that?.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't created any presets but I've done it through scripting.

If you get hold of all the switches in the FBX export command you could save it that way.

Could you, please, ellaborate a bit more your sentence "If you get hold of all the switches in the FBX export command you could save it that way"?.

I thought I could just copy the output of the export in the script editor, but it doesn't record every FBX setting, so that code relies on the preset actually.

You can find all the switches here:

Then you just create a long list of what you need to be specified in your export and finish with the export command.

For some reason the FBX export mel commands are different from what you see in the output in the script editor.

Though, doing it like this means you'll have to specify the filename in the script unless you add a file dialog in your script. First incentive to learn a bit of mel :)
