To make mmSolver tools more user friendly and provide better feedback, we should print warnings and important messages to the viewport, so users can see what is happening directly.

This issue is responsible only for creating the user functions for developers to use. Ideally we'd wrap the overall functionality and make it easy to use.

Here are some examples of tools using the utility:

  • A solver error happens.
  • Status of Marker / Bundle linking.
  • Status of Marker / Bundle unlinking.
  • Creating a Marker in the active viewport.
  • If no active viewport is shown, we can get all viewports and display the message "please click a viewport".
  • etc...

For example we should use the maya.cmds.inViewMessage command:
