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

Submitted by igamaximus on Sat, 2019-02-23 12:39

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

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