I’ve been through the help looking for this for a while but cant seem to find if it is exposed or not.
Can you get and set the selection lock toggle state with MXS? (you know, the padlock at the bottom by the transform type in)
I searched this a while back, but couldn’t find anything. So i wrote this:
fn selLocked = (
selectionlock = false
sel = selection as array
clearselection()
if selection.count != 0 then selectionlock = true else selectionlock = false
select sel
selectionlock
)
-- to lock
if not selLocked() do (max spacebar)
-- and unlock
if selLocked() do (max spacebar)
hi timo,
thanks for your reply. Crap! i had looked at max commands and missed that one. can anyone tell me why “max lock selection” returns no results yet that phrase is clearly in there? 😈
cheers for the function though timo, that helps me out!
and if you try to lock with macrorecorder on, it gives you 2 different lines:
actionMan.executeAction 0 “59231” – Selection: Selection Lock Toggle,
which returns “true”, and
max spacebar,
which returns “OK”
Oh well, who knows what happens below surface :shrug:
