Hi!

Is this auto rig a maya intern plugin like HumanIK or a script that you have loaded in?

If the second is the case, you might just want to load the plugin into your script and feed in the arguments/ access the function straight in the source code. Thats probably easier than writing a macro that presses a button.

i uploaded video showing exactly what happen , i hope can see it ... basically this go to menu and click rig and open new window and need click rig again ,.... cant find a way to execute it through mel or python , theres not any info even if echo all commands ....... its exterior plugin not inside maya like humanik ... called setup machine 3 ..... i dont understand very much what you say about load plugin inside script , inside script i load plugin to activate it but still dont know how to access the menu and the python command for that rig .... besides its not just go menu and click rig ... click rig just open new window which need click rig again , i could find command to open menu and click rig , but this new open window is the thing that totally im lost.......

The plugin you're using is rather secure, so directly accessing the code doesn't work, you're right.

I loaded it and tried to access the button via code and also had no luck, sadly.

But I've seen that there is a support Email on the plugin page. https://www.rafanzovin.com/tsm3

You might want to contact Raf directly about this. I personally never had contact with him, but I've heard that he is nice and likes to help people out when he's asked.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help here.

Afaik, TSM3 is discontinued, the support is for paying customers, otherwise it is made available free.

Using it for a year. Still, give it a shot.
