Update grid align to view

Submitted by mane162 on Sun, 2009-12-13 16:11

Hello everybody, can you help me to make a script to:
I create a grid helper in max 2010,select the grid objetc, right click and align to view, but when you rotate the viewport you must select again "align to view".. the script must update automatically the grid alignment to viewport rotations.. really thanks for your help.
