Python Script Plugin- Shelf Tools

[bradaschreiber]

I have a Python Script Plugin that I am testing. Once I load it in through Script Editor, and save as a Shelf Tool it functions well. However, once I close and reopen Maya I am unable to access the code via the Shelf Tool, I get this message-# Error: Invalid Code Fragment: Found no executable Python code.

It seems that the Shelf Tool does not store the location of the .py file- how can I save the filepath into the Shelf Tool command so that the Tool is readily available without relaunching through Script Editor.

Thank you.

You have to place the python file in your scripts folder. The shelf command has to import it before you can use it.
