convert selected object(s) to Xrefs...

[magicm]

Changing the filename of an xref record shouldn't add new objects to the scene. However, the first part of your code imports the xref with the original nodes still in the scene. Simply delete the nodes after saving should fix that:
boneAry = #($bone01, $bone02)
if saveNodes boneAry "d:\\123.max" quiet:true then
(
bName = for n in boneAry collect n.name
if xrefs.addNewXRefObject "d:\\123.max" bName != undefined then
(
delete boneAry
) -- else addNewXRefObject failed
) -- else saveNodes failed

-- change the srcfilename --
--iXref = objXRefMgr.GetRecord 1
--iXref.srcFileName = "d:\\123_new.max"
Cheers,

Thank's for reply!
but my situation is more complicated
because there is a obj have skin modifier refer to the bones.
so i can't delete the origin bone... i need exactly the UI button do, "convert it to Xref...",
I still can't find a way to do it.
Maybe I need to save my skin data to file. Remove the skin mod than add it with new Xref Bone...

but there is a small should in my mind say...the sould be a smart way.
