Importing an Alias file (.wire) requires Autodesk Alias to be installed (with a valid license) on the same computer on which the process is running.

Important

The

libalias_api.dll

is not the only file required to import a .wire file: other files located in the same directory where

libalias_api.dll

file is located are needed.

Configuring Pixyz API

The Alias lib path needs to be configured prior importing .wire files:

pxz.core.setModuleProperty("IO", "AliasApiDllPath", "*PATH_TO_ALIAS_INSTALL_FOLDER*/libalias_api.dll")
