Yes, it should work like that. Make sure the file name is AE{nodeName}.mel
i.e. AExformOnCurveLocator.mel, as Maya will look for a filename matching
that pattern the first time the node type is displayed in the AE. And also
note it’ll only show when you actually look at the shape in the AE, not the
transform. And also note that it’ll only look once, then if you change it
or add one later you’ll need to restart Maya. There’s a command to make it
re-discover templates, but I can’t recall what it was.There's one more example here, though it's also an MPxNode. - https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py/issues/53#issuecomment-280085508 On Wed, 10 Apr 2019 at 22:24, Nico Sanghrajka <nico.sanghra...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have been banging my head on this for a while now: > > I am working on a custom locator node with maya python api 2.0 > and am stuck with creating a AETemplate for it. > > Following Chad Vernons example I was able > to create a AETemplate for a ramp attribute on a dependency node > (MPxNode), both in api 1.0 and api 2.0 > but not for a MPxLocatorNode.
