I selected both layers in item mode, then right click and used 'Export Selected Layers' - I selected FBX export and 'Just Layers' in the export options popup. My FBX export settings:
It's the export as command. Just does the same as what you do with file/export as Modo resets the export option to .lxo but your folder location will stay intact.
I've recently learned that as well due to Farfarer's prodding ... File > Export As is the path to happiness. The right-click thing is a flakey hack. WHY they want to have 2 separate export paths is beyond me but whatever. :)
So "Export Selected Layers" is basically a big script that Gwynne wrote. You'd be better off just going File > Export As... and that should do what you want.
If you want it to automatically open the file dialog with the file format set to fbx, you can add "fbx" to the end, like this: scene.save export fbx You can still use the dropdown and switch to other file formats if you'd like. I tend to mostly export fbx files, so I like for the dialog to automatically assume that's what…
I ended up binding it to a key and it works great, thanks repete! That simple hot key saves me several seconds and several annoying clicks every time I need to export stuff. Fantastic! EDIT : That almost sounds snarky, but I'm serious. Thank you. :) Stuff like this seriously adds up and every speed bump that can be removed…
