How to Make a Select all, Key All Button in Maya?

Characters Alan gave (the robot, dummy male and female) had two buttons which allowed easy selection and keying when animating.

It would be much appreciated and very helpfull to get a tutorial of how to script and make those buttons  for our own characters.

  1. I second that this would be useful! I tried to do it in the last project I think by selecting and copying from the script editor. I didn't manage to get it working.

  2. If you shift select a bunch of items in the outliner, the script generated in the script editor, it will look something like this.

    select -r pSphere1 pCube1 pCylinder1 ;

    In this case I selected a sphere a cube and a cylinder, so all it is a matter of replacing the objects in the example, with whatever you like.

    and the script for setting a key is

    setKeyframe;

  3. Oh, and then in the script editor, type this in the lower panel and then- File - save script to shelf.

    Hope this helps
