Description

Small collections of MacroScripts for 3ds max 6-8 - intended as keyboard shortcuts.

Contains two types of actions:

1.) Toggles - that will open a dialog upon keypress and also close it

2.) MouseOver viewport shortcuts - that work without explicit viewport activation

[Inspired by scripts from Roger Hyde and Martijn van Herk]

I'm quite used to the script but recently upgraded to 2011 and can't get them to work right anymore.
I always got an "mb_shortcuts_fn.ms not properly loaded!" error message though I copied that file into the startup script folder. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
