Maya 2014 Merge to Center is a bit different...

G3L

So I've been using merge to center for a lotta things. I've never had this problem until using this version of Maya though.

When in edge mode, I select one edge, select merge to center and it does its job! BUT, now it switches to vertex mode after doing so, even though I was in edge mode! So it basically defaults to vertex mode now....What the heck?

Anyone know if this is a new change or if there's a way to switch that off and make it so it stays in the mode I'm in after using the tool?

I think the integrated NEX tools are getting in the way of a lot of functionality I have since gotten used to from 2013, and it's quite irritating to say the least.

You should try using Collapse for merging down edges.

How did I know those tools were doing some weird things happen with the tools? Whelp, gonna have to try the collapse method which works good for some instances but sometimes I just need to manually collapse edges on my own in different areas that don't have edge rings.
