Thanks, Stephen, (cool name AND you spell it correctly) BTW that is my name/spelling as well.  :)

Would a re-install of Softimage recognize that i have Motionbuilder 2012 installed and then add it to the list?  Is there really now way to get it to show up on the list?  At the University we install the creation suite and it adds them.  However when I use the educational install of each it does not appear to see the other app.  I did install Motionbuilder after Softimage so I wonder if a re-install of Soft would find Motion builder.  Is this how it works?

You’ve seen “Send to MotionBuilder” in Softimage? I didn’t know that existed. No version of Softimage I’ve installed has had a Send to MotionBuilder command in the OneClick plugin (you can use the Plugin Manager to check).

PS
The One-Click functionality uses files in the “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Autodesk\Synergy\” folder to identify the applications that can be used as a target application when you transfer a file this way.

it’s not programmed in Softimage or Motion Builder, you cannot add it yourself.
it’s really the same thing as doing an FBX export and import in Motion Builder. 

In the case of Maya, there is stuff that it does more to link with particles in ICE, and in Mudbox to link with texture.  There nothing to link with in Motion Builder, Softimage doesn’t support HumanIK (unlike Maya)
