Anyone know ? > Here is a good trick for learning how to use the commands API. In your script editor, under History, enable the echoing of commands. Now perform the UI action of creating some text. You will see Maya tell you the MEL commands it is executing. So you will end up seeing something like this: textCurves -ch 0 -f "Times New Roman|wt:50|sz:28" -t "Maya"; That means you can lookup the textCurves command in Python: http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/textCurves.html > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/764727e7-403f-4ca0-8f06-b05aa2d1ba30%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/764727e7-403f-4ca0-8f06-b05aa2d1ba30%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
