Subject: getting pre-scripts to work
Hi folks
=20
Quick question, probably got an obvious answer... or been asked before, =
so apologies if I'm covering old ground here.
=20
Does there need to be anything different or particular about scripts =
that you would use as either the pre-script or post-script components in =
XSI? Specifically I'm using 4.2.... can't find anything in the =
documentation or online.
=20
Nothing I try seems to work at all. Even though the same scripts work =
perfectly well if I just run them in XSI as you would normally. The =
scripts I'm trying to use are all VB and are in files locally within my =
project.
=20
any suggestions?
=20
cheers
