scripting the auto-rig function

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I'm looking for a command line (MEL or Python) to run the one-click auto-rig function of Maya from the script editor. 

When I echo all recent commands, it doesn't give me anything useful.. 

Cheers

Hi,

in the Help I found this:

http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2018/ENU//?guid=GUID-6CAEA6C2-D4F9-422D-8E0F-522171B47C35

Tip: If you are familiar with Python, you can customize the Quick Rig tool for your needs. The source code is found in the quickRigUI.py file found in Python\Lib\site-packages\maya\app\quickRig folder of the Maya software install. This lets you see how the alignment is based on what you set in the combo box (the computeJointOrients() method). You can even add your own method.

The function is callback_AutoRig
