I want to control 3ds max from a command-line. The problem is that every time I run it through cmd it opens a new instance. Is there any possibility to manipulate working instance of the program through the command-line?

renato, Johan hello.
Does it have to be Python? If you were to do this via a dotnet, it would be a simple matter of referencing managedservices.dll and calling the executeIntMaxscriptQuery function.
In maxscript it would be like this but it would be not much different in C#
Im just finding my feet with Python, but if you were using Iron Python you would be able to use the managedservices.dll too if i’m not mistaken.
