Cycle through X/Y/Z/XY Axis Constraint with single hotkey

Description

Good evening guys and girls,

Could you please help me with the tool that would be single hotkey solution to cycle between active X, Y, Z axis and XY plane inside of Axis Constraint?
So for example if i am already in XY plane mode, single hotkey tap would turn X axis on. Next tap from there would activate Y axis, 2 next taps from there would acitvate XY plane again. So on each hotkey button (in Max 2012), it would switch to next state of these 4 states.

Thank you very much for your help, i really appreciate it,
Igor

case toolmode.axisConstraints of
(
	#XY : toolmode.axisConstraints = #X
	#X  : toolmode.axisConstraints = #Y
	#Y  : toolmode.axisConstraints = #Z
	#Z  : toolmode.axisConstraints = #XY
	default: toolmode.axisConstraints = #XY
)

Hey Andrey,

that was quicker than ever before! :)
And another giant Thank You for all of your help! Can you please tell me where should i place the file to get it visible in CUI, keyboard tab?

Thank you so much!

Just run it once and it will save itself in userscripts. Then you'll be able to bind it to shortcut

That's it !

Thanks a lot for your great help Andrey, AGAIN!
Best regards,
Igor
