Need Help

1) Is there a preset or something to save my lights and camera arrangement in a scene where I can call them into a set of new files and kept the setting the same.

2) I have an animation that was done in an early version of Max 2.5.
Is there a tutorial or a better way to do this with Max 2008.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!

If it were me, I would open the original file, select all the lights and cameras, then Group them.

Open the new scene and Merge.

Now if you *always* want these lights and cameras in every File > Reset, and upon launching Max, you can save the scene with the name maxstart.max in your current projects folder. (I think that’s correct.)
