How ironic? Way back, Autodesk had a wonderful idea of using blogs to build community. When we first built the team, it was a global endeavour and if we included all the team members that have manned this pillar of knowledge, easily, we would have had over 100 years of experience and skills. We are all honoured that you made a visit on this site. This is the last post: Endgame. Please visit the Autodesk Knowledge Network for the most up-to-date solutions for Autodesk products!

Trying to relaunch Maya results in Maya just hanging. This appears due to Maya's process keeping the adlmmutex file locked (AdlmMutex::Lock). To get around this issue, we can set up the following system variable: MAYA_DISABLE_CASCADING=1 Usually a variable can be setup at system level. But Maya is particularly helpful in letting us set up Maya-specific variables directly in the Maya.env file, to avoid cluttering the system settings with customised variables. Location of Maya.env changes depending on our system. On Linux, it usually is located in either one of these paths: ~/maya/version ~/maya/ More information on how to work with/edit Maya.env file can be found here: Setting environment variables using Maya.env This workaround can be also found on the Autodesk Knowledge Network Comments (0) 09/01/2017 Silent install Autodesk Steel Connections for Revit 2018 Issue: Unable to silently Install Autodesk Steel Connections for Revit 2018 using setup.exe Solution: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/article/95266 Comments (0) Stingray Deployment and Network Licensing shows activation screen on first launch.

If User wouldn't have read permission on \\server\sharename, installer could fail. If the roaming profile is setup properly without folder redirection, user profile would be transparent to Windows applications.
