Yep, it works for me too, but there was something else messing me up. I had two simple'ish functions. One copies attributes by getting and setting values, one by one. That one claimed that rotateOrder had been set and modified correctly but then I had this other function to copy animation by hooking up animcurves from the source to the destination node. It's fairly innocent, and there is no animation on rotateOrder, yet somehow it appears that some other internal attribute manages to cause the value to reset.
In the end it was solved by changing the order of operations. I copy the attribute values first and THEN try to copy animation... That works. Thank you for your help nonetheless. :) On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 1:46 PM Mahmoodreza Aarabi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Alan > i tried this now and it works > > from maya import cmds > jnt = str(cmds.ls(sl=True)[0]) > cmds.setAttr(jnt + '.rotateOrder', 2) # zxy > > it does not work for you at all? > > > On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 9:46 PM, Alan Fregtman <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> For the record I tried via pymel, via maya.cmds and even via mel.eval() >> on a setAttr line, and they all say it was set, then it turns out it >> wasn't.
