Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Forcing a check box to be checked.

What is the mel command to ensure that a checkbox is always checked in the options dialog box of a command. Ie, in the duplicate options box, how would I make sure that the force unique name checkbox is always checked even after the user chooses reset settings.

Currently my approach is:

optionVar -iv "duplicateRenameChildren" 1;

but that does not hold when the resets tool options.

Thanks.

Not sure exactly what you are doing with the code because you did not post it, but you can create a window with checkboxes:

string $window = `window -width 50`;
columnLayout -adjustableColumn true;
checkBox;
checkBox -v true;
showWindow $window;
window -edit -widthHeight 40 60 $window;

and use the "-v true" parameter to default one as true. Regarding "resetting", if you are resetting within your own
code, you could just re-draw the window if necessary.
That is the best answer I know of without actually
seeing the code.
