by the way how to make toggle to turn on/off vertex as dots on selected objects?

I think that the preferences.useVertexDots(or using the Preferences Dialog) is global, so it is valid for all objects. But I am not sure about that.
Can you do it manually - to show vertices as dots for selected object?

yeah. just toggle for this checkbox in object properties

try this

macroScript vertTicksToggle category:"vtToggle" buttonText:"vtToggle" tooltip:"Vertex TicksToggle"
(
fn filt obj = isKindOf obj GeometryClass or isKindOf obj shape
if selection.count != 0 do
(
for o in selection where filt o do o.vertexticks = not o.vertexticks
)
)

Very good script, which I used until today. But now it does not work in 3ds max in 2018. Help: how to fix it?

I have tested it in 3ds Max 2018 and it works with no problems.

I found it using "as dot" typed in the search field.:) Then I searched each topic for "as dot". Fortunately in this case it was in the first topic. :)

It is in maxscript help file. Search for preferences.useVertexDots and you will find it.

preferences.useVertexDots =
