Hi !

I am working on a script that create a new Trackview with a custom Ui layout, that contains some custom toolbars with macroscript to interact with the trackview.

I can create new toolbars in my trackview and then save the ui layout :

MyTrackView.ui.addToolbar "MyToolbar"
MyTrackView.ui.saveLayout "MyLayout"

After i restart max, i have access to these Trackview layout and toolbars, but i can't find where they are saved on the hard disk. I checked in the CUI file, where the standard toolbars are saved, but there is nothing about the toolbars i created in my trackview...

Does someone know where these toolbars and ui layout are stored on the hard drive, this way i could copy the file on another workstation and my script would work by finding the appropriate toolbars and layout.

Thanks, your help will be greatly appreciated :p

C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\200# - 32bit\enu\plugcfg/trackview.ini

"$maxData\plugcfg\trackview.ini"

If that file is deleted Max would recreate it partially, probably bad/corrupted.
To restore the original, copy it from the <maxroot>/plugcfg directory
