Maya 2020.1 input values*1000 ?

mspeer — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 22:06:00 GMT

Hi!

Please, maybe someone confirm or deny this behavior in Maya 2020.1.

Usually I would simply report this as a bug, but I really can't believe this.

1. Check the value for

Render Settings -> Image Size -> Pixel aspect ratio
(Here I have "1000")

2. Change Image size Width/eight manual to 400/300
Then check the value for
Render Settings -> Image Size -> Device aspect ratio
(Here I get "1333")

3. Try to render something with Arnold Render View and these settings.
(Here it does not work)

4. Try to change the settings for
Render Settings -> Image Size -> Pixel aspect ratio
Render Settings -> Image Size -> Device aspect ratio
(Here all Input values will be multiplied by "1000".

5. Create a simply polyCube

6. In Attribute Editor, input field Translate X of the transform node:
CTRL+left-mouse-drag
(Works fine the first time)

7. CTRL+left-mouse-drag again in the same field
(multiplied by "1000".)

Thanks for any response.

hi there, i have exactly the same problem(s). actually, we can discuss it here and delete → my post with an attached screencast video.

i was not aware of the CTRL-LMB issue, but i can absolutely reconfirm this.

on my older, win 10 machine with the same maya version, the problem does not exist.

working fine on my side.
was it working fine on your side before the .1 update?
maybe it's related to the fix about the dot/comma in the input field. They fixed it on this update but maybe it has bugged something somewhere.

Hi!

Thank you all for testing this.

I had the same idea as @abercaine and the responses in this thread confirmed this.

It is a language specific problem and for sure caused by Update 1 for Maya 2020.

I tested today with the decimal separator set to a "." (dot) instead of a "," (comma) and the problem was gone.

At least there is a workaround for now, but I really wonder how this could have been overlooked, especially as I expect there have been several tests done when changing the behavior for dot vs comma.

This env variable does fix this.

MAYA_FORCE_C_LOCALE=1

Same problem here, happening all the time also in maya 2020.2

For example in a translate atribute, it shows 0.052, if I just type 4 instead of the 2, I get 54.000.

It is for sure a language settings problem (Maya in eglish but my Win10 is italian).

WORKAROUND SOLUTION--> type all the value with comma, not dot (example: 0,054 then it will correctly convert to 0.054).

PERMANENT SOLUTION --> the env variable as proposed by @Christoph_Schaedl also works.
