Maya shelf

[karmazine]

Sorry, maybe its a bit stupid question, but I cant permanently get rid of D_control shelf in maya - I delete it every time maya starts and it annoys me. Please, how can i disable autoloading of it? thanks a lot.

Hi karmazine

Either the shelf exists or it doesn't, there is no method of just having individual tabs visible: you will have all of them or none.

maybe I wrote it wrong..
when I create, or delete custom shelf, its permanent. for example - if I delete "polygons" shelf, it ll disapear, and when I load Maya next time, its not there. thats what is not happennig with D_control shelf, because its loaded every time maya starts.
of coarse I know I can hide whole shelf pannel, but thats not what I am talking about.
Is it more clear now?

[karmazine]

so you mean, that I cannot disable this function of 3dx_maya driver at all?

Hi karmazine

We analyse how we could make the specific shelf disappear. We will let you know soon.

Hi There,

This was bugging me too. Its pretty easy to fix.

Go to your alias\maya8.0\scripts\startup folder and edit MagellanStartup.mel

search for: C3DxShelfTab();

comment this line out so it reads: // C3DxShelfTab();

Save the changes.

It would be best to make a backup of your MagellanStartup.mel file before you do this.

Hope this helps,

James

you can also comment out this line
// C3DxStatusLine();

to clear some space on your status line at the top
