Hello, can some one help me with this, my workflow its autocad and 3dsmax.
On autocad i make some polilines and do a wblock to my hard drive, F:\ File.dwg
On 3dsmax i go to file import, select the file them press ok
What i want if its possible its do a script to automate that process, i do it 1000x on every project i made and loose a lot of time.
This its working when i run the script but i want do make a shortcut with it and cant do it
importfile “F:\File.dwg” #noPrompt

I can’t understnad wyat exactly you want to acheive, but the code below will import the “F:\File.dwg” to the current scene. Save it as .MCR file and install it(drag and drop in 3dsmax viewports). Then you can find the macro in Customize – Customize User Interface – “CarlosPaiva” category
macroscript ImportDWGFile
category:"CarlosPaiva"
tooltip:"Import DWG file"
buttonText:"Import DWG file"
(
if doesFileExist "F:\File.dwg" do ( importFile "F:\File.dwg" #noPrompt )
-- "to reset 3dsMax and load the same file: comment the line above and uncomment the lines below"
-- resetMaxFile #noPrompt
-- if doesFileExist "F:\File.dwg" do ( loadMaxFile "F:\File.dwg" useFileUnits:true quiet:true )
)
look for getfiles and loop (loop) in maxscript help
if doesFileExist “F:\File.dwg” do ( importFile “F:\File.dwg” #noPrompt )
It helps me a lot.
im very happy with your help, thanks miauu
if i change de name, File.dwg to new block.dwg the script not working cant figure why.
Im newbie on maxscript, try to learn but its hard to understand.

Try this and be sure that the blocl.dwg is located in F: drive.
macroscript ImportDWGFile
category:"CarlosPaiva"
tooltip:"Import DWG file"
buttonText:"Import DWG file"
(
if doesFileExist "F:\block.dwg" then
( importFile "F:\block.dwg" #noPrompt )
else
messagebox "File not exist or file path is wrong."
)
its working well with files without spaces, the problem its with names with spaces new block.dwg
