Don't auto select when an object is created?

[wajdyf]

polyPlane ;
select -cl ;

if u want nothing to be selected


string $sels[]=`ls -sl`;
polyplane;
select $sels;

to select the previously selected objects

ok cool that may work - but theres no way to make it not select the new object at all (without having to DEselect it manually?)

Thanks!

I currently have only Maya 7.0 here. But I know the command to create nodes in Maya2008 has a special flag for that!! So it only creates but does not destroy the selection. Maybe the poly-commands in Maya2008 hava similar flag?!?..

[daviddoria]

this should be a complete list of the flag right?

if so, I don't see any such thing - am i missing it??
Thanks,

checked it on 8.5 and 2008 ..... no such flag ..... but I don't get why do u need 2 to do it in one command.

ah ok. I'm sorry. Was only at the createNode-command: :(

-skipSelect(-ss)
This node is not to be selected after creation, the original selection will be preserved.
