MayaSublime

A Sublime Text 2 plugin

Send selected MEL/Python code snippets or whole files to Maya via commandPort

Installation

  1. clone this repo into the SublimeText2 -> Preference -> Browse Packages directory:
    git clone git://github.com/justinfx/MayaSublime.git

  2. Edit the MayaSublime.sublime-settings file, setting the port to match the commandPorts you have configured in Maya

  3. Optionally edit the keymap file to change the default hotkey from ctrl+return to something else.

Usage

To send a snippet, simply select some code in a mel or python script, and hit ctrl+return, or right click and choose "Send To Maya". A socket conncetion will be made to a running Maya instance on the configured port matching mel or python, and the code will be run in Maya's environment.

As an example, if you want to open a commandPort on port 7002 for python (the default port in the config), you can do the following:

# if it was already open under another configuration
cmds.commandPort(name=":7002", close=True)

# now open a new port
cmds.commandPort(name=":7002", sourceType="python")

# or open some random MEL port (make sure you change it to this port in your config file)
cmds.commandPort(name=":10000", sourceType="mel")
