Bake Instancer not recreating instance correctly

[hull.edwardm]

I set up a scene with a DogBowl and DogFood. Both are set up with Maya MASH with another sphere that will be scattering the DogFood.  After Switching MASH Geo Type for DogFood, I attempted to Bake Instancer to objects.  However, after baking, the DogFood is replicated elsewhere and scaled down.

See attached files for review. Steps to Repro:

Open file: kibble_test_04_START

Open Outliner

Select MASH3_DogFood_Instancer

Click MASH>Utilities>Bake Instancer to objects

Are the results like mine?

Compare your results to the second file: Kibble_test_04_END

is because you are working on Meters, the default Maya units are CM so leave it like that and you won't have issues, if you still want to work with meters then change the geometry type to a mesh and cache to an .abc and that would work as well.  Mash doesn't like or dynamics, in general, does not like when you change the defaults of the DCC.
