I recently hired an artist to put an xgen description of fur for a character rig. He imported the ASCII file of the scene and was able to apply it, though the skeleton was removed by doing so. I then instructed him to directly open the file instead of having to import it. In this instance, he reported that Maya would crash several times when he tried to create a new description. I'm wondering if it might having something to do with a viewport feature like AO or some other small detail. I have the means to get around this issue, but I'd appreciate some advice for his sake.
