Build the necessary translators
- Copy the translator plug-in file to the user’s Maya work area into the plug-ins directory. There should be a work area with a directory structure such as:
$HOME/maya/prefs
$HOME/maya/projects
$HOME/maya/plug-ins
$HOME/maya/scripts
- Unload the current version of the plug-in from Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
- Compile the new version of the plug-in.
- Place the new translator plug into the plug-ins directory, and the MEL option script into the scripts directory.
- Reload the plug-in from Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
- If the MEL option script has been modified, source it again so that the changes are updated within Maya. Else the changes will not be seen.
- Run the translator.
