Prevent Stepped Preview from affecting Set Driven Keys

Prevent Stepped Preview from affecting Set Driven Keys

(Copied from original User Voice forum)

 

"As an animator I was really excited when I first discovered the Stepped Preview function in Maya - it's basically one single button to toggle in-betweens on an animation, and it's non-destructive on already modified animation curves! I instantly bound it to a hotkey and decided to try it out in my animation workflow, hoping to replace the slightly involved process of setting default out tangents to stepped, converting all curves to stepped, and then back again when finished blocking. It was great! I would switch to stepped preview when I began blocking, then with the tap of a hotkey I could quickly preview what my animation looked like with in-betweens on, and even adjust curves ahead of time. But then I discovered that Stepped Preview also affects the animation curves for Set Driven Keys, which breaks features in a lot of rigs. So this is preventing me from completely adopting this feature into my workflow. Please add an option (preferably ticked by default) to prevent Stepped Preview from affecting Set Driven Keys!"

@tj.galda What was put into Maya 2020 to address this?  I'm using Maya 2022 and still finding this to be an issue and not seeing any new options for it? Thanks!
