Thanks for the quick reply Chad!
I'm not using the docs from pymel and instead using
http://pymel.googlecode.com/svn/docs/index.html
I've been using these asuming they are always the latest :(, I'll take
a look at the latest docs! doh!
Cheers for this, you would'nt believe the hacky way I'm getting the
next unique name.
temp = pm.spaceLocator("theExistingName")
newName = temp.name()
pm.delete(newName)
CGFXNode.rename(newName)
Horrible!
Cheers
