Hi everybody,
This is an easy question, mostly a yes/no question though if anybody bothers to elaborate well... I am all ears
Saving your scene as .C4D with COFFEE is kinda trivial but.. can I save it as FBX with a COFFEE script (without using File/Export )?

If yes...Any hints, bits or pieces of code that I can look up?

Thanx a lot.

How to do this in C++?

For most formats that would be SaveDocument(), however, FBX and a few others are not in the list of defines... is that for a reason?

It should work by passing the exporter's plugin ID. The missing exporter/importer IDs have been probably just forgotten to add to the list.

I've used this with some success:

  
   SaveDocument(doc, filename, FALSE, 1017081);   

Caveat: You might run into problems saving UVs. Sometimes the UVs are not written to the FBX file if a material is assigned but there's nothing in the color channel. A workaround is to assign a dummy texture to the material's color channel.

If anyone knows a better fix for that, I'd love to know it

Matthias, could you search for the missing exporter plugin IDs, please?
Besides FBX the most obvious omissions are STL and Collada...

Thanks a million

Here the code to get all exporter IDs.

  
Bool MenuTest::Execute(BaseDocument *doc)  
{  
  AutoAlloc<AtomArray> arr;  
  if (!arr) return FALSE;  
  
  if (!FilterPluginList(arr, C4DPL_SCENESAVER, FALSE)) return FALSE;  
  
  LONG cnt = arr->GetCount();  
  
  for (LONG i=0; i<cnt; i++)  
  {  
      BasePlugin *plugin = NULL;  
      plugin =  (BasePlugin* )arr->GetIndex(i);  
  
      if (plugin)  
      {  
          GePrint(plugin->GetName()+" "+LongToString(plugin->GetID()));
