To add an user tool to UltraEdit go to the Advanced tab, and in the User Tools dropdown button in the Tools group active the Configure tools command

This will display the Tools Configuration dialog

In this dialog:

  • Click Insert to create a new user tool.
  • In the Menu item name box type a name for the tool. In this example "Execute Script in 3ds Max" was used as a name.
  • In the Command line box type the full path to where MXSPyCOM.exe was stored on your hard drive, a space, either -f or -s (depending on whether you want MXSPyCOM to suppress error dialogs in 3ds Max), a space, and then the UltraEdit variable name for the currently active file, which is %f, enclosed in double quote characters. e.g. C:\Program Files\MXSPyCOM\MXSPyCOM.exe -f "%f".
  • Click the Options tab. Ensure the Program Type is set to DOS Program and that the Save active file checkbox is checked.

  • Click the Output tab. Ensure the Capture output checkbox is unchecked.

  • Click the OK button to close the dialog.

The new external tool will appear under the Configure tools command in the User Tools dropdown on the Tools group of the Advanced tab.
