# Saving button

Each button that can be created using the **Custom Buttons** plug-in is a python script. To save the script, click on **Save** or **Save as** and specify script name.

It is very important that the scripts must be located here

***Win: c:\Users\\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\CINEMA 4D (your version)\library\scripts***

***Mac:***\*\* /Users/**\_**%USERNAME%**\_**/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D**\_**(your version)**\_**/library/scripts\*\*

In this directory, you can distribute scripts to subdirectories. In addition to the script file, the plug-in creates additional files containing preset data. Please, don't delete or move it. Without these files, the button will not work.

After saving, you'll need to restart **Cinema 4D**. To do it quickly just open plugin window menu **Edit > Restart Cinema 4D.** The saved script button will be available in the **Script > User** **scripts** Cinema 4D \*\*\*\* menu. For convenience, you can place it on the toolbar or assign a hotkey.
