# IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES

\* Make sure you have a **"saved"** .blend file before using the import/export features, then saving before import/export is then not required. The addon needs the file location to know where to create the export and textures folder used for import/export of the files.

- File Naming Convention

    File names are derived from the selected object name or your blender file name.

\* For Substance Painter 2018.1.0-2018.3.0 be sure to tick "2018.1.0-2018.3.0 Project File Fix" in the addon preferences. (See "Preferences" screenshot below)
