To successfully export a group of files in FBX format with the Batch Process Utility add the following key-in to the batch process command file:

$ export fbx $(_USTN_OUT)

This sends the FBX files to the project Out folder.

Alternatively, having created an FBX subfolder in the project out folder:

$ export fbx $(_USTN_OUT)fbx\

The files created will have the original DGN filenames with a .fbx extension.

Other variables that resolve to a complete folder path (that includes the training slash) should behave in the same manner.

• Note that the FBX Export options are not currently selectable when using the EXPORT FBX key-in. They need to be set interactively at the start of a session where EXPORT FBX will be used.
• The FBX Export settings are not saved between application sessions so will need to be reset each time MicroStation is opened if non-default settings are required.
