[Maya] - Target Weld issue.

Maya 2020 - Target weld is giving me an issue where instead of the target weld I get this odd selection box looking thing. Restarting Maya fixes it. I was wondering is there any fix aside from restarting Maya. Thanks

I have never seen this issue.

Such things can happen with corrupted prefs. I recommend this video here. Watch everything there are a lot tips how to deal with the prefs.

I think i know what the issue was now. I was using a script to select hard edges and I think it was changing selection options. So the target weld was not working afterwards.

source dagMenuProc;int $lowAngle = 30;

int $highAngle = 150;

//Change the object back to object mode, just in case it wasn’t already

toggleSelMode;

changeSelectMode -object;

//Store the object that is selected

string $curSel[] = `ls -sl`;

//Select all edges and store in an Array list

doMenuComponentSelectionExt($curSel[0], "edge", 0);

int $edgecount[] = `polyEvaluate -e $curSel[0]`;

select ($curSel[0] +".e [0:" + ($edgecount[0] - 1) + "]");

//Constrain that selection to only edges of a certain Angle

polySelectConstraint -m 3 -a on -t 0x8000 -ab $lowAngle $highAngle;

//Remove the selection constraint so everything back to normal

polySelectConstraint -m 0;

print ("Hard edges between " + $lowAngle + " and " + $highAngle + " degrees have been selected");
