Dash not working?

Parmenides — Wed, 27 May 2026 07:40:07 GMT

I am not able to get Dash to work. I can option-right click in any channel and put in r(30) or whatever but Return or Enter doesn't complete it. Deleted prefs, no difference.

Maya 2027.1 Mac

Hi,

We have reproduced and logged the issue internally.

Thanks.

Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

Or is there another way to leverage DASH?

Still doesn't work for me either.

Hi,

There issue is in DashCommand.py so the safest option is to wait and check to see if it is addressed in the next release.

Alternatively, you could feed the error into CoPilot/Claude/your-AI-of-choice and it should be able to patch DashCommand.py in the Maya install to work around the issue.

Hello @afatka,

A possible workaround was suggested in a previous reply. Could you let us know if that workaround was helpful or if you're still experiencing the issue? If this workaround resolved the issue for you, consider sharing your confirmation in the thread. It may also help others facing the same problem.

I played with it a little bit in Gemini with no luck - If I get more time later, I'll try again...but it might just be that I'll have to wait for an official update. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long...
