There is a bug with MAXScript in 3ds Max 2012 at initial release of Max 2012. Older versions of Max do not have this bug. MAXScript locks files it creates and does not release them until 3ds closes.

The fix to this problem is to install the latest Service Pack.

A workaround was integrated into a version of WWMT... but that workaround was removed when the bug was fixed in 3ds Max 2012 SP1.

Hello,

for some reason it's still not working for me, and yes, I have the latest Version of WWMT.

If I try to open it while Max running it just says "Another program is currently using this file."

If I close Max completely I'm able to run the .bat file fine.

Sorry about the bad info above (which I have updated). Simply close Max, install Service Pack 2... and the problem will go away.

Thank you, that fixed it!
