undo settings reset with every Maya launch

Hey,

 

I am not able to keep my settings of undo to be infinite. With every Maya launch it resets back to finite queue size: 300. I change it to infinite and save preferences, but with the next Maya launch it is back to finite.

 

Maya 2017 update 4, Windows7 64bit

Hi @marpie24

 

I have two ideas.

 

1. You can try deleting your settings/preferences.

 

2. Are you setting your project? Often times if you don't set your project and then do work/make changes and reopen Maya some settings will be lost.

 

Let me know if this helps!

hey, although deleting prefs folder did not fix my problem, deleting whole maya folder from c/documents did actually fix it. Now I just need to reinstall my plugins and I'm good to go. Thanks!

A bit of an update @sean.heasley

 

I reinstalled all my plugins and I found out aTools plugin has been causing my problem with undo preferences. I had aTools on auto-load and when I changed it to not load automatically with Maya I was able to keep my undo infinite.
