Autodesk has released another hotfix for maya, Hotfix 3 is available through the Autodesk website. Remember that every hotfix is cumulative; it contains the fixes from the hotfix(es) that preceded it. For example, Hotfix #3 includes the fixes released in Hotfix #2, therefore you do not need to download and install both hotfixes, and Autodesk recommends you uninstall Maya before installing the hotfix… as usual.

A whole lot of fixes are offered up this time around including:

  • Mac: All error messages do not appear via Python
