Empty FBX files / FBX only exporting rig?

illbleed

Hi,

Im having a really annoying issue with maya's export. it's either exporting an empty file (though its still a 2mb rather than 0) or if i try to export a binded mesh, it'll only send the rig. 
Any ideas what could be causing this? i've tried both 2016 and 2014/2015 fbx. It's a bit urgent that i fix it as the person who needs it can't open a .MB scene since im on 2016 and they're on 2015.
Thanks!!

Did you try Delete Non-Deformer History?

No, but i'll try that thank you. Im not 100% sure if 2014/2015 works correctly as i didnt get a chance to try it on a model without a rig. My issue previously was empty exports regardess of what kind of model it was (but i was using 2016 fbx then).
