so i configured my 3ds max 2008 to the max9 sdk folder, and everything is working. the only problem is that each time i open 3ds max, it creates a new "Aces Tools" menu on my menu toolbar. i have to remove one each time i start, otherwise they'll reproduce as rabbits and populate my entire menu bar. heres the script: (the acestools.ms file from max9 folder in sdk)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Get the text for the macro scripts to be

in the line that starts with:"newMenuID = genClassID returnValue:true"as if i start a comment in there, until the end of the document, every time i start 3ds max, one aces tools entry will disappear. but if i leave it like that, then i wont have the menu after some starts, so how to make it keep the menu, one time?! thanks in advance

unfortunately nope, manually removing wont fix it, you need to edit the script itself, but im figuring out the answer on max forums :)

Funny that. I didn't need to "edit" any scripts to have it work properly...
