TransformModeCycler keeps its scope narrow: four macros that move select and transform mode switching and coordinate-system cycling onto keyboard shortcuts. It is listed for 3ds Max 4 and marked obsolete since R5, so check Martin Breidt's page at breidt.net before relying on it with a newer version.
TransformModeCycler is a set of four macros for 3ds Max created by Martin Breidt. Each macro is intended to be assigned to a keyboard shortcut, with the combination Q, W, E and R offered as an example. Once assigned, the macros switch to different select and transform modes and cycle through the most commonly used coordinate systems.
The release is version 0.1 and is listed with compatibility for 3ds Max 4. The set has been marked obsolete since R5. That note, together with the listed compatibility, ties the macros to older releases of 3ds Max rather than current ones.
The script is listed on ScriptSpot, and Martin Breidt's site at breidt.net hosts this script alongside his other 3ds Max tools. Check the developer's page for the current files and any details on later releases.
TransformModeCycler is best for binding select and transform mode switching and coordinate-system cycling to keyboard shortcuts on older 3ds Max versions.
TransformModeCycler is completely free to download and use.
TransformModeCycler is listed with compatibility for 3ds Max 4, placing it among the older entries in the ScriptSpot library. It has also been marked obsolete since R5, which means it is aimed at releases from that era rather than current versions of 3ds Max. If you are running a recent build, the macros may not behave as originally intended, so it is worth checking Martin Breidt's page at breidt.net for the files and any notes on version support before you set it up.
TransformModeCycler ships as four separate macros meant to be assigned to keyboard shortcuts, with Q, W, E and R offered as one example set of keys. You can bind them to whichever keys you prefer. Once assigned, the macros switch to different select and transform modes and cycle through the most commonly used coordinate systems, keeping those changes on the keyboard. The macros are marked obsolete since R5, so they are aimed at that older era of 3ds Max rather than current builds.
TransformModeCycler is listed here as free, and it is hosted on Martin Breidt's own site at breidt.net alongside his other 3ds Max scripts. Because licensing terms can change and this script is an older, obsolete release, it is best to open the developer's page directly to confirm the current download and any usage conditions attached to it. That page is also where you will find Breidt's other tools if you want to explore more of his work for 3ds Max.
