CGTalk - xsi hard edges prob

If I give an object a hard edge, then export it to a .xsi format, the model loses the hard edges. I have made a local geometry approximation and then tried it but when I import the .xsi, the hard edges have disappeared from the mesh.

I have tried not freezing the operator stack then exporting, that didn't work. I tried freezing the operator stack, that didn't work. I even tried it on a default poly object. Gave it some hard edges, exported, imported and the hard edges are gone.

Why are you importing it back in I hear you ask. Well I have to send a guy .xsi files and I was told I should give the mesh some hard edges. I had done that before I sent the files to him and he isn't getting the mesh with hard edges.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I am using 2.0.1

When you import in an XSI file, to get the edge information, you have to tick the 'normal' option in the import dialog.

But i'm using 3.01, so i don't know if this is something that works in 2.01 or not.... sorry.
