How do I run the script on startup? I tried adding it to the plugins folder, but it clicking Loaded and Auto Load doesn't work.

You can make it as a plugin and add it into Maya or save that script as a button into the Custom panel.

Why is the deleteUI cmd not work on my side?

[@pakapeta7772]

my 'menu_obj' had numbers in it that why it didn't work. If any have same problem plz check that.

Great tutorial! Do I have to run the pymel script every time I open Maya to have the menu working? Is there any way that I don't need to run any code to have that custom menu?

Hey non coder here. :) What is Pymel? I know of Python and know of mel, but not sure of Pymel?

[@TheLavrenicus]

Pymel is sort of mel for python. Maya have 4 python libraries: maya.cmds; pymel.core; maya.api.OpenMaya; maya.OpenMaya
