Creating Maxwell_Camera from Perspective view.

I've updated max's macroscript, and now it's able to create Maxwell Free Camera from Perspective view. It's useful for me, hope it will be useful for you.

The script is here:
-For MAX6-
-For MAX7-
-For MAX8-

Installation notes:
1. Copy macro_objectscameras.mcr file to your UI\MacroScripts directory. Overwrite the old one.
2. Start 3dsmax. Go to Customize > Customize User Interface... menu.
3. In the Category list select Lights and Cameras.
4. Find the Create Camera From View(Maxwell Camera) function from the list and assign hotkeys to it. I used Ctrl+Shift+C
5. Now close all those rollouts and menus and select your perspective viewport.
6. Press hotkeys (Ctrl+Shift+C for example) and get your new Maxwell Free camera from current perspective view!

Vansan,
this sounds very useful, but I can't seem to get it to work.
With max 6, when I hit ctrl+shft+c which I have assigned to it, I get the following error:
Compile error: unrecognized macro parameter: enabledIn
Inline: enabledIn (#max,viz,vizr)

I'm on max 7.5, so...

Just place -- before this stroke and save script.
Then try again, hope it'll help. :roll:

Wonderful it works, thanks, but how to create a target maxwell camera from view, this seems to only create a free maxwell cam.

Edit: Sorry disregard my question, i forgot that you could change this within the camera rollout, i'll thoroughly beat myself :lol:
