Exported models and constraints 2005-07-03 - By Guillaume Laforge
Back
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 ;-)
Cheers,
