Thanks! That worked perfectly after I integrated it into my code.
I've one more problem thats unrelated. Know what's going on here?
When trying to add a menu system via the initalizePlugin function I'm
getting an error despite it all the arguments being passed correctly
to the function:
def initializePlugin(mobject):
mplugin = OpenMayaMPx.MFnPlugin(mobject)
try:
mplugin.registerCommand(kPluginCmdName, cmdCreator,
syntaxCreator)
mplugin.addMenuItem("Cool", "MayaWindow", "Sphere", "")
Thanks again.
