Currently using Maya 2014 - Linux64 along Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit..
BUG:
When I try to use a tool like for examle the extrude tool from edit mesh section to extrude a face from an object, maya raises a syntax error on script editor:
polyExtrudeFacet -constructionHistory 1 -keepFacesTogether 1 -pvx 2,611262724 -pvy 3,533006417 -pvz 1,212884358 -divisions 1 -twist 0 -taper 1 -off 0 -thickness 0 -smoothingAngle 30 pCube1.f[4];
// Error: //
// Error: Line 0.68: Syntax error //
With a little research I found that the error is related to the formatation of the floating point numbers (http://www.creativecrash.com/forums/modeling/topics/extrude-doesn-39-t-work), in other words MEL script use dots instead of commas on floating point numbers.. Is there any way to fix this bug permantly instead of fixing it manually, like for example copy the code, replacing the commas with dots and run it? This way is really slow and clunky..
