Wrong number of arguments on call to select

[Anonymous]

Hey there! 

So, I've been working on a fairly simple rig in Maya and I seem to be having a weird problem when I try to perform these actions:

• When I right click on the mesh to change the selection mode
• When I try to create a new poly primitive
• When I try to select objects in the scene using the hierarchy select

I get this type of error:

C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2016/scripts/others/dagMenuProc.mel" line 1842.25: Wrong number of arguments on call to select.

I can't seem to find any info on this problem or find out how to solve it! 

I'm working in Maya 2016 SP6 (student and licensed version, I take my rig to and from school)

******* Update*******

The shape node of the mesh looks like the picture below, which I believe is an indicator of the issue. That is not normally what a shape node looks like but I can't seem to figure out why it's different or why it matters.

Hi!

Could you please upload a scene-file.

Here you go. It only happens with this file.

Hi!

First: Before anyone else wants to open the scene-file from the previous post, be warned as this may corrupt your UI and some internal structures, from your current open Maya. So after testing this file close Maya and re-open it again before doing anything other with Maya.

You may post this file also to Autodesk Support.

Solution:

Deleting the node selectAllControls fixed it for me, but i cannot say if the rest of the scene still functions as expected.

Make sure the first actions after opening the file are:

1. Outliner -> Display -> DAG Objects Only (uncheck)

2. Delete "selectAllControls"

3. File -> Save Scene As ... (newFileName)

4. Close Maya

5. Re-Open Maya

6. File -> Open scene (newFileName)
