Hey all, I was wondering if somebody could help me with a problem that my Maya has recently started doing a couple days ago. For some odd reason, whenever I try to use my rotate tool, it only rotates my object in the X axis. Whenever I try to rotate it in the Y or Z axis, it only rotates in the X axis; and also, when I have my object selected with the rotate tool, I cannot deselect it by clicking in the window, it merely drags in the X axis. Thanks in advance for all the help.
Hi
I am having the same problem too.
It allows me to change the values from channel box but not using the rotate tool. X is fine, but y and z does nothing and neither the general circle for all. I even tried it with new created polygons in a new project but same issue. I have also played with the rotate tool settings but doesn't seem to change anything.
Thanks
hi im having the same problem. and i tried deleting the file but it doesnt seem to fix the rotation problem. any thing else i can try?
Hey bud I'm having the same issues as you are. I have been trying to solve this problem of mine for probably a year. It even happens with the new 2016 Maya. Every time I find a thread that starts solving this problem the trail goes cold like on your's and my thread. Since you posted this over a year ago have you found a solution to this yet?
So I think I figured out our problem. I spent the past couple days installing updates to my graphics card and after hours of updating I finally just installed the final update. After I finished it I opened Maya up and it is at last working correctly. I think that could be the solution to your problem too. Hope this helps!
My graphics card is already current version. I don't know what else I can do!
I started having the same issue, almost certainly do to a graphics driver update. Go into your Maya preferences, and under Display, change your Rendering Engine to something else. For Maya 2016, I had to change mine to OpenGL Core Profile to fix the issue. DirectX 11 and OpenGL did not work for me. In Maya 2018, I think there are different options. Play around with the settings and see if there's one that works for you.
Go to preferences>display and then change the rendering engine OpenGL to OpenGL Core Profile. It will work.
