To open a configuration file for editing
- Open a text or XML editor or your choice and navigate to
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\<Maya version>\resources\CharacterControls
By default,
CharacterControlsConfig.xml and
CustomRigControlsConfig.xml are created in this directory at installation. These files are used to create the default layouts for the
Controls and
Custom Rig tabs.
Note:
- On a Mac OS X system, navigate to /Applications/Autodesk/<Maya version>/Maya.app/Contents/resources/CharacterControls
- On a Linux system, navigate to
/usr/autodesk/Maya/resources/CharacterControls
- Select the configuration file you want to edit.
Note: Each time you edit the configuration file in an external editor, you must load the file in
Maya in order to see your changes. See
Load a new layout.
