Anyone got this working in 2009/2010 - this is a really simple and very useful script - been using for ever. Just upgraded and can't seem to get 2008 .ini trick to work.

it's a good tool

it works with 3ds 2008

you must copy max.ini from your "local setting\user\application data\autodesk\3dsmax\max version\enu" to the location of your 3dsmax.exe

I don't know if the 3dsmax.ini on the root of max 2008 has an incidence with the application.

PLEASE NOTE - This script is broken in max 9 due to changes to user paths screwing up hard-coded assumptions about where ini files reside. I plan to fix it when I get some time, but that may be far, far in the future. If you are a scripter and have the means and desire to fix it yourself, please contact me.

Hi Jon,

I had a go at fixing your script a while ago for someone else, I'll see if I can find it and send it on to you. I don't know if it works 100%, but it definitely works.

Hi Guys.

I use this color clipboard all the time, it is one of the first scripts i install, after i install max.

 My work arround for max9 is pretty simple: Just copy the 3dsmax.ini file from its new location to the max9 root folder.

 

plimilim! it works!

 

enjoy.
