Why does this mel command always crash?

malcolm

Hey everyone, I'm trying to run a basic script in Maya 2018 and it always crashes. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so what's the work around.

Select a single ojbect and run this mel

ConvertSelectionToEdges;
selectUVBorderComponents {} "" 1;

I'm trying to select all texture border edges in a shelf button, but I can't get around this crash.

Can this do what you want?

ConvertSelectionToEdges;
ConvertSelectionToUVShellBorder;

or maybe

ConvertSelectionToEdges;
polyConvertToShell;

Or actually, what's the expect input to selectUVBorderComponents (what ui does it associate with)?

Hey thanks for the reply, the convertshell thing actually crashes it too, buuuuut, I just downloaded 2018 service pack 2 and the bug is fixed. Grab it here if you need it.
