Is there a way to batch / string commands together. The commands I want to execute right after each other is (Cursor to selected, then set origin to 3D cursor)

I would like to just select the faces of an object in edit mode.

Then:

  1. The cursor gets moved to the selected (In edit mode)
  2. The objects origin gets set to the cursor. (In object mode)

Example: ani1

Ideally I would assign a shortcut to this or an icon.

Make custom operator

bl_info = {
    "name": "My Addon",
    "author": "X Y",
    "version": (0, 1),
    "blender": (2, 80, 0),
    "location": "View3D",
    "description": "my operator",
    "category": "Object",
}

import bpy


class MY_OP(bpy.types.Operator):
    bl_idname = "view3d.my_operator"
    bl_label = "some label"
    bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO'}


def execute(self, context):
    if not context.object:
        print("object not find")
        return {'CANCELLED'}

    if context.object.type != 'MESH':
        print("MESH Only")
        return {'CANCELLED'}

    obj = context.object
    if obj.mode == 'OBJECT':
        bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_CURSOR', center='MEDIAN')
    elif obj.mode == 'EDIT':
        bpy.ops.view3d.snap_cursor_to_active()
    else:
        print("OBJECT and EDIT mode Only")
        return {'CANCELLED'}

    return {'FINISHED'}





def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(MY_OP)


def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(MY_OP)


if name == "main":
    register()

  • active object only, Not support multi object for this script. – X Y Jul 09 '22 at 21:39
  • Thanks for the code when I ran it with F3 nothing happened. I changed bpy.ops.view3d.snap_cursor_to_active() to bpy.ops.view3d.snap_cursor_to_selected() and the cursor moved but the origin didn't move until I went into Object mode and ran it again. Is there away to have this done all at once without running it twice (once in edit mode and once in object mode)? I'm using Blender 3.2.1 – Rick T Jul 11 '22 at 08:01
  • @RickT you're right. it works on the default cube, but doesn't work when i select an edge loop like in your scenario. but changing to bpy.ops.view3d.snap_cursor_to_selected() works for me. – Harry McKenzie Jul 11 '22 at 08:57
