Maya 2012 show attribute sliders, how do I do this?

So the Maya 2012 help doc says you can press shift+ctrl+rmb and a context menu should appear allowing me to show/hide this feature. Pressing those buttons yields nothing, what am I missing here?

It's present in the Show Manipulator Tool whenever you preform an Extrude. If off to the side of the tool you get Thickness, Offset & Divisions then you're able to LMB drag those options.

Should be on by default

I've turned it off somehow, how do I turn it back on?

Use the tool then do the Shift+Ctrl+RMB

Totally doesn't work for me, are you in 2013 perhaps? I've regenerated my preferences to get it to turn back on, but there's no context menu still.

I'm on 2012

Script editor gives me the following when i do it, try putting it into the Command Lne

manipOptions -showExtrudeSliders 1;

So, extrude a face
go into Command Line, make sure it's set MEL
type manipOptions -showExtrudeSliders 1;
you should see Thickness, Offset & Divisions pop up next to the tool

Yep, that does the trick. Still can't get the context menu to appear though, it's weird that you can't access that menu any other way.
