When I first loaded up the new setup, everything worked fine, but after I opened Maya again the Z marking menu no longer works. I've had to reinstall the preferences a few times, and it's still broken somehow. Is there a fix for this? I'm using Maya 2016 on Windows 8.
Hi bosspanda,
this sound strange, look like Maya recreate the preferences when you open and close it.
Try to do this:
1) close Maya end reinstall May9
2) check if work and close Maya
3) check all the May9 file that are engage by MMtoKey:
- 2016\scripts\userSetup.py > it must have line "import MMtoKey"
- 2016\scripts > it must contain this folder "MMtoKey"
- 2016\prefs\userNamedCommands.mel > it must have commands "MMtoKeypressNameCommand" and "MMtoKeyreleaseNameCommand"
- 2016\prefs\userRunTimeCommands.mel > it must have commands "MMtoKeyPress" and "MMtoKeyRelease"
- 2016\prefs\hotkeys\userHotkeys_May9.mel > it must have lines "hotkey -keyShortcut "z" -name ("MMtoKeyPressNameCommand");" and "hotkey -keyShortcut "z" -releaseName ("MMtoKeyReleaseNameCommand");"
4) Restart Maya
Hope it help!
uhm, guys, as I understood you fixed trouble?
I just suppose it could be related with Maya's bug replacing hotkeys: it likes to replace user defined with standart ones from hotkeySetup.mel
You can try to connect simple command to Z and try to make it work.
[quote=bosspanda]Yeah, I'm using 8.1 and SP3 as well. It's a strange one. I'm also using a student version of Maya, if that's a factor.
Yes, they all show up in the script editor when it's not working. I do get an error when I try to use the MMtoKey resetter:
//
MMtoKeyReload;
cmds.deleteUI('MMtoKeyBackground')
reload(MMtoKey)
# Error: line 1: RuntimeError: file line 1: deleteUI: Object 'MMtoKeyBackground' not found. #
//
Again, don't make solving this your week's project. It seems like an uncommon issue, and based on the info, it's probably something specific to my computer.[/quote]
I've update silently May9 to make the MMtoKey resetter more powerful can you retry to use Z MM after a reset? TNX

The gray bar is normal because MMtoKey in May9 version load up an overlay layer to enable multiple button mouse configuration.
Please check this in an empty scene:
1) Open script editor
2) Enabler echo all commands
3) Press and release Z on view-port
4) Check if the echo output is always this (when MM work and when not):
MMtoKeyPress;
MMtoKey.press(search=2)
source "menu_All_MM";
source "menu_MayaWindow_MM";
source "menu_MayaWindowAll_MM";
MMtoKeyRelease;
MMtoKey.release()
Actually I not understand how some time work or not, I'm on win 8.1 and Maya 2016 SP3 and never have this problem.
It does not, and it seems to make the top bar go grey the screen is losing focus. It actually started working the last time I brought maya up, and then it stopped working again.
Thank you for your quick response! I've tried reinstalling the preferences and then restarting the computer, and that does work, but it goes back to not working after a short time. Every other part of your setup is working great, including (for some reason) the other elements of the MMtoKey, such as the MM editor - everything but the marking menu itself. I've checked those files, and all the commands you listed exist in the scripts.
Don't worry too much about solving this one, I can just integrate your system into my shelf-based workflow. I was sort of just hoping there was some quick hotfix I was overlooking.
This is weird... at work I cant see the Outliner / Sel Set panel nor the Interactive playback icon apears , at home the Z-Marking Menu sometimes stop working....
Does Maya write to the files to change them? Is the userName/Maya folder the only containing user settings? Is maya usiing any other settings file outside of this folder?
Ok, I found out where my problems were coming from, a second userSetup.mel.
in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\scripts\userSetup.mel
eval("source \"startup/GoZScript.mel\"");
I gess if I add this line to May9's one everything will work.

So we have finally focus the problem, good to know that is related to GoZScript.
