Hi-
Sorry yeah it was only a partial paste the entire function is:
def initializePlugin(mobject):
mplugin = OpenMayaMPx.MFnPlugin(mobject, softwareVendor,
softwareVersion, "Any")
try:
mplugin.registerCommand(kPluginCmdName, cmdCreator,
syntaxCreator)
mplugin.addMenuItem(Cool, "MayaWindow", "Sphere", "")
except:
sys.stderr.write( "Failed to register command: %s\n" %
kPluginCmdName )
raise
and there is an uninitalizeFunction as well.
Thanks
Dommm
