Change to Object Mode

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to write a script to toggle a selection of objects from vertex mode to object mode. However,

cmds.selectMode( object = True )

Doesn't seem to change the mode from whatever to object mode

objs = cmds.ls( hilite = True )
for item in objs:
  cmds.selectMode( object = True )

So I'm a little confused as to how to proceed.

Hi,

You just need to set the selection mode once and then select the objects in one go.

I'm using this script on my F8 key:

$hilite = `ls -hilite`;
$obj = `ls -dag -sl`;
if (size( $hilite)) {
     setSelectMode("objects", "Objects");
     select -r $obj $hilite;
} else {
     setSelectMode("components", "Components");
}
if (`selectMode -q -object`) {
     inViewMessage -smg (uiRes("m_toggleSelMode.kIvmSelectObject")) -fade -pos topCenter;
}else{
     inViewMessage -smg (uiRes("m_toggleSelMode.kIvmSelectComponent")) -fade -pos topCenter;
}
