Hi,
I'm using Maya 2014 and when I wanted to save a file the first time, I've got following error-message:
# Error: file C:/Programme/Maya2014/scripts/others/fromNativePath.mel line 90: UnicodeEncodeError: file C:\Programme\Autodesk\Maya2014\python27.zip\os.py line 420: ascii
Have anybody an idea, who can I solve this problem? I can't save any file....
Many thanks to all, who help/answer me
and best regards.

Hi Greg,
thanks for your fast answer.
Following to my system:
Maya is installed as a part of my Creative Suite on drive c:
The file(s) I've tried to save on drive d: - here I tried several folders:
3d_Training_Autodesk_Maya
Maya_Projects
Projects_Maya
As you can see, there there is no non-ascii letter in this path.
What can I do? I can't save any work, I've done.....?
Thanks for your answer in advance...
Best regards,
André
Hi Greg,
I forgot - the filename was also "normal" = Sorlar_System
Again, thanks for any help.

Hi Greg,
I've found on the Autodesk-Site Service Pack (1-4) - should I install them (I've got an educational version of the Suite, I've bought...) i.e. would that fix the problem?
Thanks,
André
Hi Greg,
well, to be sure I've done different things:
- I've used ascii-conformable letters for the file-name (filename= planets - folder= D:/Maya_Projects - projectname= Solar_System).
- The programm Maya (as a part of my suite) is installed in a place with ascii-conformable ascii-letters.
- And as I found through me Internet-research, I also renamed my user-name and my pc-name to ascii-conformable letters. I also changed entries in the registriy accordingly.
Installed folder for Maya is:
C:/programme/Autodesk
Place of my folder, containing the files:
D:/Maya2014_Projects
So I`ve done all the things, which are known to me. I restarted the system, started Maya, set up a project and unfortunately the error is nearly the same:
# Error: file: C:/Programme/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/others/fromNatvivePath.mel line 90: UnicodeEncodeError: file C:\Programme\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin\python27.zip\os.py line 420: ascii
Now I need realy help....
Best regards & thanks,
André
So - a little upgrade to my problem.
I installed all four Service Packs - the problem still remains - it is not possible to save any file under Maya 2014.
I'm lost.....
