What I do in those cases is get the first object attribute value and apply the inverse value to the rest of selected objects, that way it will toggle everything to the same value.
Something like this: int $curValue = getAttr ($selection[0] +".displayRotatePivot"); And then setAttr ($object + ".displayRotatePivot", 1-$curValue); Martin On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 9:23 PM, Mario Reitbauer <[email protected]> wrote: > Yea ty. > > I am using 2 custom commands now (using a toggle isn't the best way in > that case) > > string $selection[] = `ls -selection -long`; > string $object; > for ( $object in $selection ) { > catch(eval(setAttr ($object + ".displayRotatePivot", 1))); > } > > > > 2015-02-04 13:20 GMT+01:00 Tim Leydecker <[email protected]>: > >> Ctrl-Shift-A will let you select everything in a scene. >> >> Setting the Scripteditor to "Echo All Commands" >> >> then for example reveals: >> >> ToggleRotationPivots; >> >> From there, it´s just a drag of this line to the shelve. >> >> That at least let´s you switch things after creation. >> >> If you want to get this globally, all the time, you probably would >> start by trying to modify your: >> >> userPrefs.mel >> >> or >> >> Maya.env >> >> even if that may be the completely wrong place. >> >> I can´t help with that really except for having a hunch that >> things usually follow a simple kind of >> >> RotationPivots = 1; >> >> way of switching on (1) or off (0) in Maya. >> >> I wouldn´t do it but that doesn´t mean it shouldn´t be done. >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Am 04.02.2015 um 12:39 schrieb Mario Reitbauer: >> >> But that "Display>Transform Display" is on per object context right ? >> I am searching for a way to globally show the axis.
