Maya tool pathing issue

[Miroac]

Hey everyone,

So I’m not sure if anyone else is having this issue but when I attempt to add the default mannequin from the samples project instead of looking where it should be I am instead the message you see below:

Even when I save the new path with “Make path changes permanent” or “Remember these settings” I still get this message when ever I start Maya up again.

I’m getting this message with the 4.7 and 4.8 version of the tool in both maya 2013 and maya 2015.

Was hoping maybe this default setting was somewhere in a script that could either be updated or that I could modify manually.

I’m able to add a mannequin by going browse but as stated above it doesn’t save the setting and also doesn’t allow me to add a second mannequin to the scene.

So I’ve managed to find that the path is saved in the Mannequin.mb in the Anim Rigs folder in the Sample project.

However because this has been saved as a Maya Binary file and not a Maya Ascii file you cannot edit the path with a text editor. Making this one hell of a pain.

it would be helpful if you share where you found the file so that people who end up reading this thread can find it as well
