Automatic startup of the plug-in

In order to automatically start the plug-in during Maya startup you need to modify (or add) userSetup.py file in your scripts folder.

Instructions:

  • You need to create userSetup.py file in your Maya scripts folder.

  • Use the correct folder for your version of Maya.

  • For example, for Maya 2019 this file should be in (\Documents\maya\2019\scripts)

  • Just create an empty text file called userSetup.txt, paste the code there and rename the file to userSetup.py.

  • If you already have this file in the folder, open it with any text editor and paste the code at the bottom of the file.



Code to paste to userSetup.py file:

import maya.cmds as mc

def startupCommands():
    import gs_toolbox.main as tb_main
    from imp import reload
    reload(tb_main)
    tb_main.main()
mc.evalDeferred(startupCommands,lp=1)
