userSetup.mel file

There is no default, as far as I know. You can just make it yourself. Whatever mel commands you put in there will be executed when maya first starts up.

What do you want to use it for?

Thanks for replying.

I put a plug in related to skinning and binding.
Actually I want a drop down menu to appear whenever my Maya starts.
For that I had to put the source mel of that plugin in userSetup.mel file.
but I couldn't find it. so I am worrying how to proceed.

The menu which I put is seen only at the time I execute it.
The contents in it are also not working.

And thanks once again for spending ur valuable time and replying for my doubt.

hi tarun,

you can create your own userSetup.mel file.

open notepad type the procedure name which you want to call during maya startup. save that txt file as userSetup.mel.... prior to this you must save your code(code for creating menu) in separate mel file and place it on script folder....

place this userSetup.mel file in mydoc>maya>2008>


if it is not working then you have to check your system weather any userSetup.mel file present earlier just search for it... bcoz Maya may take only one userSetup.mel file...

if you find any userSetup.mel file just append your procedure name to it....
