Does it change matters at all if you do it this way in your userSetup?

import maya.cmds maya.cmds.evalDeferred('import amTools')

Hi Adam,

The problem only arises on startup using the userSetup.py.
I’ve created a mel button shelf button that contains “import amTools”. If I run this after Maya has loaded, things seem to load just fine.

Hi Juan,

Do you get the same problem if you import after Maya GUI is loaded, or only when importing from a userSetup.py?

Hello Adam,
First off, thank you for providing this excellent set of tools!

I’m sorry to bug you with this, but I was hoping you could help me with some trouble I encountered during installation –

I’ve followed the instructions for the installation of the python scripts in the Maya directories. However, upon launching Maya, I’ve come across the following error:

Failed to execute userSetup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “E:/JAC/Documents/maya/2012-x64/scripts\userSetup.py”, line 3, in
import amTools
File “E:/JAC/Documents/maya/2012-x64/scripts\amTools\__init__.py”, line 71, in

cmds.menu(kAMToolsMenuName, parent=mainWindow, tearOff=True, label=”AM Tools”)
RuntimeError: Layout must be a menuBarLayout:

Do you have any thoughts on how I could go solving this?
Thank you,
Juan
