Hi MarkJ.
I wanted to comment about your minimum width setting in the code sample you
provided. According to the workspaceControl documentation
<http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/workspaceControl.html#flagminimumWidth>
that should be a boolean value so your code that sets the value to "mw=355"
wouldn't function as expected. You should probably add an entry to the
initial workspaceControl code of "minimumWidth=True", at the same time you
define the "initialWidth=355, " setting to get the results you are after.
*minimumWidth*(mw) boolean create query edit
Sets the minimum width of control to the initial width. This should be used
along with initial width flag.
Regards,
Andrew Hazelden
