I made three tremendously basic baby steps in Maya Python scripting this week in order to ease my workflow. Now I'll forget everything I did lest I go down the dark path of tech art.

what did you do?
One to create a locator at my selection (set to a hotkey), another creates a tear off panel that views through a specific camera with certain settings, and finally one to cycle visibility of a list of meshes.

these were all scripts I had in the past that I was missing in my current set up.

Sounds pretty good!

In 2020, we added a rivet command to do that for you too. :). Great minds.... (It's under the constraint menu)

I'm curious about the camera script, can you be more specific?

That one is the messiest. Its a bit of a hack job. It’s one I had on an old project that I liked. It finds a camera associated with your selection’s namespace and creates a new panel window from its view. I have it set to a specific size and to only show meshes and image planes.
