Here a solutions that we found at work for now…
here’s the basic idea
Copy all your scripts to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MotionBuilder 2010\bin\config\PythonStartup,
make sure you have the same path in the settings <<settings/Preferences/Python/python startup folder>> then open the python editor and click on the hammer button, it
should build a UI called Python Tool Manager with all your scripts inside, then open all your scripts you want and save a layout with them, everytime you’ll open Motion builder
or click on your new layout your tools will be there.
AT WORK...W.I.P (idea #2)
for every Layout <<Creation, Animation, Editing, Preview, Story>> save a new layout with your tools loaded so for <<Creation>> save it
<<myCreation>>, for <<Animation>> save it myAnimation and so on..
after that go in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MotionBuilder 2010\bin\config\Layouts\Base and replace
your layouts with the base ones of motion builder, make a backups first of the old ones and paste them there rename them by removing the <<my>> before
<<myCreation>> <<myAnimation>> it need to look the same as the old files before.
You’re wondering why are we doing this?? it’s because this way no one will be able to update the base layouts and your tools will always load every time you click on one of the
layouts
I also recommend you to build a UI that calls all your scripts instead of inserting all your individual scripts in motion builder then for updates change the link of the start
up folder in <<settings/prefrences/Python>> to a different drive on the network and there you go
