 Hi when I import my fbx file Maya is opening FBX file dialog is there is any method I can import this fbx direct without opening that FBX file dialog. 



string $Nut_01 = (`internalVar -userPrefDir`) + "icons/3DG_Nut/Mesh/Bolt_01.fbx";

 file -import $Nut_01;

FBX imports via mel is a little different, first you need to set the flags individually, then use FBXImport -f $Nut_01;

Here's the individual flags:

Or to use a preset, do File>Import[], set your options and save a preset from the button at the bottom. FBXLoadImportPresetFile -f "X:/path/to/preset.fbxexportpreset"; But then you'll need some extra steps if you want to distribute your script.

HI, thank you so much for your response I think the first method is much better and less complicated.
