abxPicker in maya 2009

Post by juanvaldez » Tue Oct 25, 2011 3:11 pm

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing this wrong. I can't seem to get the abx picker to work in maya 2009 on my Mac. so there are two abxPicker Versions in the Zip the abxPicker and abxPicker2011 so I 'm assuming that I should use the abxPicker for 2009 and the abxPicker2011 is for maya 2011 only. So I put the abxPicker.mel and abxPicker.bmp in the Scripts folder in /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2011/scripts

I did this:
Place the malcolm.ma file in a known location.
File>Create Reference. Point it to the malcolm.ma file
next import the MalcolmPicker.ma file into the same scene:
rename the Main_PIKR to malcolm:Main_PIKR

Then I ran the comand:
source "abxPicker.mel"; abxPicker;

I just get a blank abxPicker window :(

Hmm. Can you try to load the sample picker file? See if that works.

Sounds like it should be working.

I know on the Mac, the background image doesn't appear, but other than that, should work fine.

The sample picker loads fine. here is the screen shots of the sample picker and the blank picker for the malcolmPicker. I loaded it in maya 2011 on windows and it all loaded fine there.

yah, I'm seeing the same issues. Slightly different but the result is the same...abxpicker is unuseable for me right now.

I seem to remember now that abxPicker doesn't work in earlier versions of Maya on Mac. Possibly 2009 and earlier.

What versions are you on?

Ok, I think abxPicker won't work for that then (on Mac).
