FBX export in Maya not working

joarwho

Hey guys!
So, I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple of hours now without any success. I would really appreciate some help. 

So here is a short rundown: I can export FBX files from the menu, but as soon as I try to do it with MEL-script I get this error message in the FBX log file: 
[ERROR ] File Input/Output Error - The following error(s) occurred while attempting to access the FBX file: Error writing the FBX file...

I can succesfully use the FBX commands like: 

FBXExportConstraints -v false
FBXExportSmoothMesh -v true

But as soon as I use the export command:

FBXExport -f myfile.fbx -s

..I get the error message. 

The FBX plugin is loaded. I have tried this MEL-command in both Maya 2015 and 2016. I have tried it on a different computer. But I still get the error message. 

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? As I said, I would really appreciate some help.

Try FBXResetExport(); before running the export command.
Or try running Maya as Admin. It could be a permissions issue.

And just to be sure your file name variable needs to be a string in quotes like this:

FBXExport -f "myfile.fbx" -s
