Setting save options by code

[vinRosso]

How do I set by code the saving option to Save all edits (including USD) to the Maya scene file?

I can easily avoid the window to pop-up with cmds.optionVar(intValue=["mayaUsd_SerializedUsdEditsLocationPrompt", 0]), but I couldn't find a way to set the actual option.

That would be the optionVar "mayaUsd_SerializedUsdEditsLocation", which takes an int:

• 1 = save usd files separately
• 2 = save usd to the maya scene file
• 3 = save maya scene file only, usd will not be saved

Wonderful, thanks!

Is it possible to manage when "save usd files separately" USD File Extensions (args={"format": "usda"} )

[seando-adsk]

Yes that would be the optionVar "mayaUsd_SaveLayerFormatArgBinaryOption" which is 0 for Ascii and 1 for binary.
