Hi,

I don't have maya in front of me and I can't for the life of me remember what this is, and someone has asked,

thanks,

gubar

ctrl+a, (the attribute editor) alternatively you can hit the middle button on the top right corner (i'm looking at 2009, not sure if it's changed since then)

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Thanks Chirone,

I remembered ctrl+a for the attribute editor though, was was wondering specifically about tool settings?

Cheers though,

gubar

There is none built in by default. But you can make one. The command you want is under the display category in the hot key editor and is called "ToggleToolSettings".

Cool thanks for the info ctbram, I was sure there was a pre-existing shortcut, guess not!

cheers

i've started using maya 2011 and use the scroll wheel over the tabs to cycle between tools/channel box and attributes. Does anyone know if i can move the tabs to be at the top of the attributes window rather than at the side? also i'd like the channel box to switch back to being narrow, at present it stays as wide as the attributes window.
ta.

I just tear off most of the panels and put them on my second monitor. The joys of having multiple monitors no more crowded work spaces

Lol crowded desktop (actual wooden structure) I suppose, but digital space is more important At least when actually working in the digital world.

I do recommend having a separate place for sketching than at your computer. Too much time in one room can kill even the most creative mind.

i think i must work at the only company where 2 monitors are not standard.

Sorry to Hijack this thread.

Honestdom if you do have any influence I would really push for getting another monitor having two monitors increased my productivity tons. If nothing else ask if you can bring in your own monitor if the PC will support it if not try out one of these they actually work pretty well.

Then if you can prove that having two monitors is worth production time maybe your company will buy in.
