I found this verry great script called: "HKmagnetTool"
only thing that bother is that I have to source it every time I restart maya.
this can be done by the Mava.env

I added following lines to the Maya.env (OSX) but this doesnt do the trick

/Users/mimo/Library/Preferences/Alias/maya/scritps/HKMagnetTool;

is there something missing like
MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH =
in front of the path?

perhaps someone sees the prob
thx people

I wouldn't do this in your Maya.env. Instead I'd use your userSetup.mel. This file should be
located in ~/maya/5.0/scripts (or anywhere in your MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH). If you don't have one, just make it and put this in it:

source "/Users/mimo/Library/Preferences/Alias/maya/scritps/HKMagnetTool.mel";

--g
