Problem with bevel (maya 2018)

Alexander_Sheynin — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 11:33:57 GMT

I have a bug or whatever it is - bevel tool doesn't work after the first time in maya 2018.
I have 2 commands binded on hotkeys:

dr_BevelTool - Alt+Shift+B

Bevel Polygon Ctrl+B
First, i create a simpe polycube, then select edge(or several edges, or face - no matter) and press Alt+Shift+B. This time bevel tool works fine.
After, i accept it (press enter) or simply change selection - bevel tool won't work any more. New scene creation doesn't help, only the maya restart does.

The Bevel Polygon(regular bevel, like in modeling toolkit or edit mesh menu) command works fine any time. So, is it a bug or something like that? I'm new to maya, maybe it is some sort of mode, which i can't activate back?
Maya 2018, win 7 ultimate
I tried to change hotkeys - nothing has happened.

Hi!

"First, i create a simpe polycube, then select edge(or several edges, or face - no matter) and press Alt+Shift+B."

First, create a simple polycube, then press Alt+Shift+B, then select/edit an edge.

(This may only work if an other tool is selected first, maybe just switch to (enable) Multi-Cut in Modeling Toolkit)

Yes, it works, thx!
First, u have to select a component, then - activate multi-cut and only then activate bevel tool. This is the case for Sherlock.
looool

The conclusion: dr_bevelTool works fine with Multi-component only

Assign button to the Bevel Press - not to the BevelTool. It's the same but it works
