!!!Description
This is a more robust tool for deleting keyframes in Maya, including deleting keys on selected channels, current frame, or visible in graph editor.
!!!Usage
Run the tool, select the options, and press the Delete Key button. Alternately, set the options and right click the button to create a hotkey or shelf button. The options all work together, they are evaluated in the order listed in the UI. For example, if all options are checked, it will first look for selected keys to delete. If no keys are selected, it will check if the channel box is highlighted. And so on.
!!!Requirements
This script requires the following modules to run. Make sure you have the latest versions downloaded to your script directory.
[[ml_utilities]]
!!!UI Options
|<html></html> Selected Keys|Delete the keys selected in the graph editor.|
|<html></html> Selected Channels|Delete all the keys on selected channels. (Unless overridden above)|
|<html></html> Visible in Graph Editor|Only delete keys that are visible in the graph editor. (Unless overridden above)|

!!!Description
Temporarily bake animation to locators in world space. Use this tool to preserve the worldspace position of animation when you need to make positional changes to an object's parent.
!!!Usage
Run the tool, select the objects, then press the "To Locators" button. When you're ready to bake back, select the locators and press the "From Locators" button. Checking "Bake on Ones" will bake every frame, otherwise the keytimes will be derived from the original animation.
!!!Requirements
This script requires the following modules to run. Make sure you have the latest versions downloaded to your script directory.
[[ml_utilities]]
!!!UI Options
|<html></html> Bake on Ones|Bake every frame. If deselected, the tool will preserve keytimes.|
|<html></html>|Bake selected object to locators in world space.|
|<html></html>|Bake from selected locators back to their source objects.|
|<html></html>|Bake from the first selected object directly to the second.|
