Basically at some point or another, maya swaps back to the default hotkey layout. Im not quite sure how or why. Sometimes it takes an hour before the problem arrives, other times minutes. Its not permanent tho, restarting the app will fix it.
I've tried deleting second language, installing keyboard software, searching for alternative pref. files etc., and no, capsLock is not on ^^.
Today, I decided to give Maya a try. After I installed the program, I created primitive polygons and played with the program a bit. Everything worked fine. However, I have a few problems. The shortcut keys aren't working. It's valid to say that the problem is occurring because the hotkeys aren't set. I checked the hotkey editor interface and determined that all the hotkeys are set. Consequently, the problem isn't occurring because the hotkeys aren't set. Also, right mouse click doesn't bring up a menu. Is there an option to toggle hotkeys that I don't know about?

See the image.
I am doing lighting now. Everything is fine except a scene.When I open the scene,it's blank in the preview window but everything is here,just like the first picture.When I open again(didn't close the maya window),it's better but still blank in the default quality rendering,like the second picture.Until I switch to the high quality rendering mode,it just display something like the third picture.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for any way to set the startup state of the viewport windows so that two sided lighting is turned off whenever i start Maya. I work in game assets creation a lot so having it turned off allows me to make sure my normals are facing the right way. I usually just turn it off manually but every now and then i forget and it comes back to bite me.
In maya 2011 I used the script found here [URL]
which is as follows :
Append the lines below to file "initHUDScripts.mel", preferably in a local copy to your maya scripts directory. Path is, in Windows: C:Users\Documentsmaya\scripts
// CUSTOM SETTINGS BELOW
// Set Two-sided lighting to off in default 4 views.
modelEditor -e -twoSidedLighting false modelPanel1;
[Code]....
but I can't seem to find the "initHUDScripts.mel" in the 2013 file structure. Alternate script I can implement or know where I should append this existing script in the 2013 files? the script still works in 2013, I just dont know where to put it to load at startup
I would edit the default extrusion scale to 0.3 giving me this:
I am wondering on how to correct the pinched edge at the top of the model
I have been having this problem for a while now that whenever I extrude or create something thats not totally smooth the edges by default are hardened. For example if I create a 12 faced cylinder it will hard edge everything including the verticle edges. Back when I first started using Maya i dont remember having to select specific edges to soften which can get very tedious and take up time.
I feel like there should be some sort of way to harden horizontal edges and soften verticle edges but I cant find the solution anywhere. Is there any way to change the default soften/harden edges?
Will post pictures upon request.
Is there a way to set the default width of a strip drawn with QuadDraw tool? (Quad Draw tool, ctrl+****f+drag RMB)
The size appears to depend completely on screen space. I'd like to be able to specify a width in units.
We tried to use the WhatTheFont function in coreldraw x5 and it popped up with:"This hotkey is being used already by this system Please choose another one."
I worked out that it was an error from capture x5 and when I loaded that to change the hotkey, no matter which one I picked it popped up the same error when trying to capture.
I even tried some ridiculous ones like Ctrl+Alt+[Letter] and still got the error.This is running on a Windows 7 64 bit computer with Corel SP3 installed
I can't seem to be able reassign the hotkeys around in Max anymore (no matter how hard I try).I was able to create a Quad for Shift+Z, but when I try it reassigning the same Quad or a new one on Shift+X or any other letter, it doesn't work for some reason. I tried at this point on ALL the combos, and it seems like Max actively refuses to assign anything to any quad menu.
It seems like after assigning my first new Quad, it doesn't want to do anymore changes
The default hotkeys for increasing/decreasing the paintbrush size is [ and ] -
but these hotkeys do not work on my PC
Is there another way of changing the brushsize via hotkeys ?
I thought about actions but there is no menu command for brushsize-decrease/ increase.
Ive got Photoshop CS, and none of the hotkeys are working, according to the hotkey settings they're all there and should work.. but none of them do.. not even simple things that should work like cut and paste..

Using the steering wheel is WAY too slow, so it would be great if it was possible to map these functions to hotkeys.
As the topic states, I would like to assign hotkeys to mouse buttons. I attempted to do so, but when I use a mouse button for a hotkey it does not register within the customize user interface menu.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I open up Gimp after installing the new Maverick operating system on my iMac, and now for whatever reason I can't use my keyboard without it activating the hotkeys.. So If I'm trying to rename a layer or even save my project, the only letters that I can actually type are the ones that have not been assigned a hotkey. Basically I have a bunch of new files named "vvv" or "ggjg" filled with layers that I can't organize by name, which is slowing me down considerably!
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn previous GIMP versions, I was able to assign a keyboard shortcut to "paste as new layer", but I don't see that in the list of keyboard shortcuts available in 2.8. Is that option really gone? Is there some way to open it up again? My workflow is seriously shredded without that shortcut.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like to assign hotkeys for 10 or twelve different Tools I've customized and preset, including smudge, brush (various), selection, etc... I'd like to do this without using and action since they have limited assignable keys (F keys), and it would be great if they were centered around asdf keys.
The best I've been able to come up with is to have the tools panel open, press a hotkey and bring up a custom SET of presets, but this still doesn't make the current tool a specific tool, I still have to select from the panel.
Is this possible in CS5 or CS6?
Why do the hotkeys randomly stop working? Simple ones, like the move tool or the marquee tool.
The only fix i've found is having to CLICK on the tool and then the hotkeys will work again...it's really annoying - never happened in cs5...
I really want to change some hotkeys to resemble my DAW's keys.
like "s" for split, and "w" to go back to start.
the keys in this program are a little bit awkward and I bought graphics studio for the ability to customize, I figured that you would be able to customize any corel product like that...
is there a list of all the shortcuts available at least?

My workstation had a major reset and my customization (retrofit) making my group lock key-combo [Ctrl+Shift+A] as it had been some time in the past is lost. It has been so long since I meddled with setting hotkeys that I cannot remember where that is done. I either need to know how to toggle the group lock in the "out of the box 2012" or where to set my hotkey prefs.

if there was a way to disable the hotkeys that PSP7 provides. Occasionally when I'm using PSP, I dont know what I click, but the hotkeys are activated. Its a hassle trying to use the text feature and trying to save the file: windows are popping up and toolbars disappear off the screen. The only solution that I've found was to close the program and open it again. I'd rather avoid the hassle of closing all of my files and opening them again.
