1. Connect shortcut key Max 9

   

   Topic by BoBo_the_seal · Jul 2007 · Home› Technical Talk

   I want to say that I was able to assign "connect" as a shortcut key in max 6.5 and it work for vertex, edge, and poly mode (Note: it might have been a meshtools function). In Max 9 I can't seam to assign one shortcut for functionality with all three modes. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. - BoBo

   hmm that's too bad. I've always used different shortcuts for vertex and edge mode though. What's the function of connect in poly mode? I can't find it in the toolbar.

   Hmm, works fine in Max8, wonder why they broke it in Max 9 ... Tinman is right though, it's pretty easy to write a script to check which subobject mode you're in and perform the correct action for each one.

   this discouraged me as well when i was setting up hot keys, is there anyway to get the current sub object state through max script? if so you could set up an if else statement to check the sub obj mode then use the appropriate connect.
