Re: arsh's maya questions
Ohh this I forgot to add. Every tool in Maya is basically a series of melscripts. If you wish to customize or program using mel without having to refer to codebooks or guides, you can open the script editor, and turn on echo all commands. It will slow down maya a tiny fraction on lower end machines, not at all on higher… -

Re: arsh's maya questions
That's pretty weird Arsh. It rings a bell that other people have been having that issue, but I've not experienced it myself. It could be a known bug. You on 8.0?
