Editing the sisoft.bat File

On Windows, the sisoft.bat file is used to start SOFTIMAGE|3D. The environment variables are sourced before the command "soft" is processed. This command is similar to creating an alias for SOFTIMAGE|3D on IRIX.

To view all the options you can add to the sisoft.bat file, open a SOFTIMAGE|3D command prompt and type soft –h. The command line options are also listed in the SOFTIMAGE|3D Setup Guide.

Sample sisoft.bat File

@echo off

call d:\Softimage\SOFT3D_4.0\3D\bin\SETENV.BAT

echo off

echo "Starting Softimage(R) 3D v4.0 NT"

soft %1

echo on

Note:  You can modify the f.checkexec value in the .shortcuts file on IRIX to use command line options to start SOFTIMAGE|3D. This is similar to editing the sisoft.bat file on Windows.
