Transform tools cause maya to crash

I've been having some problems with Maya for a while.

 

Sometimes, when I use the rotation or translation tool, it causes Maya to crash. 

 

Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

 

Please reply soon if you can help.

Is it crashing while you select either tool or use it on a mesh or controller?

When I try to use it. You know. Move or rotate. Anything from joints to meshes.

It's possible that if you're selecting and moving a mesh, that mesh might have an overwhelming amount of history nodes attached which causes memory issues and crashes. Is it possible to track your ram/cpu usage during these events?

I don't know.

 

If that's the case, is there a way to fix it?

You can try a bunch of things,

• Delete non-deformer history from the mesh, if there's any

• Changing animation Evaluation mode to DG in the preference menu

• Switching viewport 2.0 rendering engine to DX11 ( or another option depending which GPU you have)

• Maybe even try updating your graphics drivers and delete Maya preference folder from documents.

 

Hope this helps!
