Hi David,
You're right, constraints seems to disappear when the model is exported :-/
A workaround is to copy the commands logged when you constrain the objects and re-use them when the model is imported.
I know, it's not very "user friendly" :-p. So a script who write all the constraints in an annotation under the model
and an other script who read this annotation to re-apply constrains would be a better workaround !
See you tomorrow to find a solution around a coffee ;-)

I just read this in the docs:
"The exported model contains only its internal relationships—the export
process removes modeling relationships, expressions, linked parameters,
and so on if they involve elements that are not children of the model.
One exception to this rule is constraints: XSI tries to re-establish
constraints to and from objects in the model if it finds appropriately
named objects when it the model is imported into another scene."
So I tried to check if that worked. I had a sphere under the scene root
and a cone under a model-null. Pose-constrained the cone on the sphere.
Exported the model, deleted the model from the scene, re-imported the
model, and the pose contraint was gone. What they say in the doc does
not work :(
Is there a way to get the constraint re-established after importing the
model?
David
