Mel Command For Reset Settings

[ytolyccuz]

Hello guys,

Just would like to ask what is the MEL command for "Reset Settings" found on most Maya GUI Dialog Boxes.

I would like to assign it as a keyboard shortcut.

I am using Maya 7.0 by the way.

Thanks and respect to you guys,

Hey, I don't think there is a simple mel command to do that.

you can dig around in the MEL scripts for those GUI's and see how they're doing it. I looked for a little bit, and if you echo all commands on the reset of rebuild surface option box you get:
rebuildSurfaceSetup OptionBoxWindow|OptionBoxWindow|formLayout63|tabLayout6|formLayout65|tabLayout7|columnLayout2 1 "";

and then the command to generate that is in the mel script performRebuildSurface.mel, it says
-command ($callback + " " + $parent + " 1 \"" + $goToTool + "\"")

rebuildSurfaceSetup is the actual procedure to reset that specific GUI

so you'd just need to dig around and gather those variables (like $parent) to recreate that same reset command.
But I'm not sure all the GUI scripts are written the same, if they're not, then it'd be hard to make a unified reset command.
Good luck!

Thanks Jason! I thought that there was a unified command. Have a nice day!
