  Is there a way to use mel script to load a .mb file but relative to the mel script file, so its in the same folder on a different computer it would still work? Thanks in advance
  Help with importing .mb relative path
  hi i use this site a lot when im stuck but couldn’t find an answer to this but sorry if its been asked before it seems simple.
  not mel but this should work (python).
  import maya.cmds as mc import os newFileName = 'testFile.mb' newFilePath = os.path.join(os.path.split(mc.file(q=True, loc=True))[0], newFileName) mc.file(filePath, o=True)
  Thinking bout it there should be a simpler way, will have a butchers.
  if the mel script is already on the MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH, like in “My Documents/maya/2012/scripts”, then you can get the path to the MEL script using “whatIs”.
  for example:
  whatIs “myMelScript.mel”;
  returns the path to the script file.
