File menu > Archive
Archive creates a compressed archive file or a text file listing the scene bitmaps
and their path names.
3ds Max automatically finds the files referenced in the scene and creates the
archive file in the executables folder. During the archiving process, a log
window is displayed.
Compressed archive files are created using an external program. You specify
the name and location of the
archive program on page 7541 you want to use
in the Files tab of the Preferences dialog.
Procedures
To set up an external archive program:
1 Choose Customize > Preferences.
2 Click the Files tab to display the Files panel.
3 In the Archive System group, enter the full path and executable file name,
and any command-line option you want for your external archive program
in the Program field.
To archive a file:
1 Choose File > Archive > Archive.
2 Enter a name for the archive in the File Name field.
