Does anyone know a way to reload AEtemplates - without having to restart Maya to see your changes? The only reference I could find was deleting the UI window on highend3d - this does work - ie:

deleteUI AEWindow;
source AEtemplate;

However if you have the template docked in a panel - the default for the last few version - this doesn't work.

Is there any way of doing this when the Attribute editor is not a seperate floating window?

thanks

Here's how..

source <yourscript>;
resetAE;

no need to close the AE or anything..

Cheers,

Thanks for that - it's a bit cleaner than just destroying the window.

However unfortunately it still only seems to work when the attribute editor is a seperate floating window - not in the panel.
