How to avoid pop-up during AI file import
I use the below command to import AI file, but it comes with 2 pop-up window to chose 1.Merge Object & 2.Single/Multiple object

importFile “C:\Users\User\Downloads\Untitled-1.ai”

Please guide me to to fix this.

I want to import file using “importFile” with no pop-up.
Thanks

Try with this:

importFile “C:\Users\User\Downloads\Untitled-1.ai” #noPrompt

miauu Thanks for your reply.

#noPrompt will results with “Multiple object” witch I dont want , I want these two option by default selection 1.AI Import --> “Merge object with current scene” and 2. Import Shape as --> “Single Object”.

Thanks

importers settings are usually saved here:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\20%% - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg
otherwise look in this folder: getdir #plugcfg

then set them to preferred values like this:
setINISetting SettingsINI_path #LastUsedSettings #WeldThreshold "0.1"

upd
AI importer doesn’t use settings
try smth like this instead


fn OnAiImportDialog =
(
	local hwnd = DialogMonitorOPS.GetWindowHandle()	
	local data = windows.getHWNDData hwnd

	case data[5] of
	(
		"AI Import" : 
		(
			local btn = windows.getChildHWND data[1] "&Merge objects with current scene."

			windows.sendMessage btn[1] 0x102 0x20 0 -- send space char to the radio control
			UIAccessor.PressButtonByName data[1] "OK"
			
		)
		
		"Shape Import" :
		(
			local btn = windows.getChildHWND data[1] "&Single Object"
			
			windows.sendMessage btn[1] 0x102 0x20 0 -- send space char to the radio control
			UIAccessor.PressButtonByName data[1] "OK"			
		)
		
		default: UIAccessor.PressDefaultButton() -- press OK in all possible error message popup windows
	)
	
	true
)

dm_initial_state = DialogMonitorOPS.Enabled
DialogMonitorOPS.Enabled = true
DialogMonitorOPS.RegisterNotification OnAiImportDialog id:#ai_import_automation

importfile @"C:\Users\User\Downloads\example.ai"

DialogMonitorOPS.UnRegisterNotification id:#ai_import_automation
DialogMonitorOPS.Enabled = dm_initial_state
format "ai import complete...\n"
