Importing Alias Files

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

Configuring Pixyz Studio

To start importing *.wire files in Pixyz Studio, the software needs to be configured first from the menu Preferences:

  1. Press F9 or go to Edit menu > Preferences > IO > Import > Alias

  2. Fill the path in the AliasApiDllPath field: browse to the libalias_api.dll file (most likely located in the bin directory).

    You're all set.

If the path is not properly configured, Pixyz Studio will prompt the following error message:

Warning

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.
