At long last...
BonusTools 2012 is finally here!!
Sorry for the delay in getting this out and thanks for your patience. Better late than never right? So a lot has changed in this version. For starters the menu layout has been completely revamped to be more in line with the standard Maya menu layout.

Ten brand new tools have been added and at least a dozen others have been updated (this includes many bug fixes.) Additionally many obsolete tools have been retired allowing us to do a bit of much needed house cleaning. And finally the documentation has been completely rewritten and reformatted.
You can download the new version and get more details on the included updates here…

You can also check out the new BonusTools resource page for an overview of some of these changes -> Bonus Tools Resource Page
Note: If you have installed Bonus Tools but can not see the menu then you may need to update your userSetup file. See below...
Copy C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MayaBonusTools2012\scripts\userSetup.mel
Copy C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MayaBonusTools2012\python\userSetup.py
Paste both in C:\users\name\My Documents\maya12-x64\prefs\scripts

sueds - LayoutTools (formerly LevelTools) is actually a completely separate tool set. It is however recognized by BT if installed and will show up as an option in the Windows menu if so. LayoutTools 2011 should work in 2012 as well, but the 2012 version should be available in the next few weeks or so.
