_Import doesn't import DocumentData

Scripting
1

Hi all,
Let’s say I have a file which contains DocumentData. If I import that file the DocumentData is ignored. Is that a bug or intended behavior?
I wish it would be the same like DocumentUserText which will be imported with the file.

A solution to the problem would be if it would be possible to retrieve DocumentData from a file without opening it. Is there a way to do that?

Btw, I am using RhinoScript not Python!

Thanks,
Tobias

RhinoScript DocumentData is ignored in import. This is the way this has worked since Rhino 3.0.

If you need document data to import, then you should be using DocumentUserText.

Hi Dale,
Ok, I’ll use UserText the. Its just that the structure of Section, Entry and Value would have been much more convenient for what I need just now.

thanks anyway,
Tobias
