K, First, let me say thank you for your help and patience with me. However I still cannot get this to work. Originally posted by kbrown Just say "source myworks02.mel" in the command line. Or restart Maya. Otherwise Maya doesn't know a thing about your script. One way would have been to copy-paste the script in to the script editor and execute it. This way the global procedure would have persisted in the memory until you quit Maya... When I type "source myworks02.mel" in the command line, not much happens (I suppose it's just loading into memory so not much would happen.) But then when I try and and put "myworks02" or "myworks02.mel" in the Fireworks creation box, I still get the same error. "Cannot find procedure". I even tried putting "source myworks02.mel" in the Firworks creation, but that didn't work either. Any thoughts on what else I could be doing wrong? I'm still in Maya 4. Could that be the problem? Attached is my mel file. Maybe I did something wrong there, but it's just your code pasted in I think. Thanks again. -dann
