Re: Set Align to edge as a hotkey in maya?
Yeah, I can't stand Maya 2014 because of the constant script editor feed so I usually work in 2013.

Maya: Renaming shape nodes issue
Hi, During my workflow, I have to import some objects, unfortunately the transforms and shape nodes import with the same name. Maya does not like this.
