I looked into the specific usermacroscript folder and it was empty. So I unpacked the MPZ and copied everything to the correct folders. Now it is working. cheers belly Hi Josh,

What happens when you drop the mzp? does it open a report window? It's no secret what is happening under the hood with installation. In the mazp (basically a zip file) there are bmp files and mcr files. The files are copied to these directories *.bmp to $ui\Icons *.mcr to $macroscripts These locations should be the current ui folder and the current macroscript folders. You can look in there yourself and see if they're copied. This location by default is under your user directory, for example: C:\Users\$MY USERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMaxDesign\2010 - 32bit\enu\UI\usermacros Let me know how it goes Josh. Hi belly,

It seems it is not installing them. Could it be that this is due to win 7? cheers belly Hi Josh,

Last week, I tried to install your align tools with max design 2010 and win 7 pro 64 bit. It seems it is not installing them. Could it be that this is due to win 7?

Adobe's tools are simple and economic: the buttons perform the task at the moment of being pressed. The only pre-requisite is having 2 or more objects selected. No extra clicking (ok, in illustrator actually there's a different behaviour than photoshop's: you can do an extra click to specify to wich object the others will be aligned... but that's a special case; the general and more simple use is just a click away).
