Maya Install Dir

Maya
1

Hi, I am trying to find a command that returns the Maya install directory.

I have searched the maya help, search in this forum I even tried a google search, so far I couldn't find anything.

My workaround so far is to use the command whatIs renderWindowPanel and analyse the return of this command to figure out the maya install directory... but I would like something more elegant.

Thanks for your help

KUDOS!

Thanks

I have tried getenv MAYA_APP_DIR, MAYA_DIR, etc. but not this one.

BTW do you have a list of all the "hidden" environment variable in Maya. I never could get it from Alias.

Hi dude

what ever in maya you can get it

maybe reading help very deatil then you can get it

goto maya help-> Developer Resources-->>Environment variables

then [b][b]Standard paths there u can read like this

[/b][/b]For the system PATH variable, Maya adds $MAYA_LOCATION/bin.

so me add a command "getenv" thts all then MAYA_LOCATION

for env we have 3 commands "getenv,setenv,putenv"

so we can get anything from maya help

i think like that

enjoy
