Wacom Holy Grail

If you are like me and use a Wacom with 3ds max, you have definitely encountered this issue with selecting objects!

Scenario:
You select an object and it moves it!!!!!!!!!!!! this is no good!!

So what i wanted was to use Q to select an object, move it with W then go back to Q when deselected. So with some hardcore googling and experimenting i found a solution.

Behold the holy grail for all Wacom users!

Usage:
if max is opened, close it.
Copy the script to your scripts/startup folder
run max

or if max is opened.

Description: This script makes sub-objects coplanar using Min, Center, and Max extremes, similar to what the standard Planar does, but much more flexible. The "Align To Axis" routine lets you align sub-objects by a specified world axis.

This script evenly distributes the selected objects based on the start and end target objects.

Anyone is more than welcome to add to this.
Things you could potentially add are qsorting, transform, scale, and rotation sorting as well.

Right now it just does position.

Select Active Camera

Simply selects the active camera from the current viewport (even if cameras / layer is hidden). If you've ever been frustrated because you're working full screen looking through the camera lens then need to change something about your camera, this script is for you. In that case you just run the script and bam you're able to edit camera properties in the stack or adjust keys in the time slider all with a single keystroke instead of having to hunt around in the select by name dialog...
