Thanks for the update Ahmidou !
Are you sure you attached the right addon to your post ?
I only see one command in this addon, no menu and not really some working
code
This won't work anywhere else but on your machine :D
# python
sel = xsi.Selection
sel.AddProperty("E:\\XSI_DEV\\DEV_WORKGROUP\\Application\\Plugins\\PMVC.preset",
0, "PMVC")
Happy new year though ! Hope you'll have a great 2014 !
