How to select the current viewing camera

[theazz]

// find out which panel is active
string $panelName = `getPanel -wf` ;
// get the camera for the active panel
string $camera = `modelEditor -q -camera $panelName`;
// select it
select $camera;

first you have to detect which panel your focus is in, then you have to query what camera the modelPanel is using.


string $panel = `getPanel -withFocus`;
string $camera = `modelPanel -q -camera $panel`;


alternatively, click on Panel menu > View > Select Camera ;)

Bah! beaten to the punch by a CGI dog! :)
