how to use ToolContexts in maya?

[Mahmoodreza Aarabi]

Hello Friends

I have a problem here to call ToolContexts in maya.
for example there is a moveTool folder in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\devkit\plug-ins\moveTool, i build it for maya in windows mll and load its plugin to maya, but i don’t know how should i call it.

in its docs has beed said

//    This plug-in will register the following two commands in Maya:

//       moveToolCmd <x> <y> <z>

//       moveToolContext

moveToolCmd <x> <y> <z> works when we selected the object
but moveToolContext does not work, or at least i don’t know how should it work.

it should be an interactive tool i guess.

any suggestion?
thanks

moveToolContext is a command that creates the tool itself.  You should be able to give it a name, and then call:  setToolTo <MyToolName>;  That will switch the current tool to your custom one.
