To clarify, this is the approach i took, but it doesnt seem to work with selecting an object.
import maya.cmds as cmds import maya.mel as mel getName = cmds.ls(sl=0, tm=1) #####nothing selected, returns a lot of values print getName [........u'uber_surface1', u'delightGeoAttribs1', u'uber_surface2', u'delightGeoAttribs2'] but getName = cmds.ls(sl=1, tm=1) #####obj selected, doesnt return print getName [] -- view archives: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya change your subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya/subscribe
