Maya Human IK Menu disappears
polycounter lvl 6
Hello guys!
Just wanted to post the answer to a problem I've had lately, and since I haven't seen a thread on it yet, I figured I would post it here for anybody who might of had the same issue!
So my problem was that on several occasions I would open a Maya scene of a Character I was working on with a Human IK controle systeme all set up and for some reason, the Character Controle tab would show up empty. There would be no way for me to access all of human ik's controls other then the ones in the view port. I would try reopening my scene, and no result. I used to think that my scenes where corrupted because I would usually be able to open a new scene and have access to it the HIK tab again. but here's a trick I figured out...
Solution:
All you have to do is open a maya scene like normal, preferably the one that had issues. And then force an other Maya instance to open and load the same file again! You should have two maya scenes open at once with the same scene loaded, Now Human IK tab should show's up in the last one you opened! I dont know if this is a permanent solution, but at least now you have access to your controles again!
Hope this helps someone!
On an other note, dose anybody know a way to keep the Human IK tab open once you open a scene that was using it, its pretty annoying having to fetch it each time.

I think it's very inconsistent since all the other dockable panels (the channel box, attribute editor, tool setting and the new modeling tools) all have their own designated buttons to the far right in the UI... But for some reason they chose not to have HumanIK there.
