What I usually do to lock a camera in place is to set a key on frame 1 on any 
of it's attributes I don't want to change by accident. Then I can move the 
camera around through which I look using the normal tools, but the moment I 
move the time slider by one frame back and forth everything snaps back to it's 
keyed/correct position and value. Make sure to have Autokey off. Would that be 
helpful in your case?



Hi List,

I am doing some personal workflow comparisons between maya and xsi using 
photogrammetry.
and I am wondering for those of you that had used maya before, do you know if 
there is a way in maya
to lock the camera as in xsi to keep zooming onto the plate without changing 
the actual camera zoom, position, etc..

I have all my cameras in maya locked (translation, rotation) to avoid unwanted 
movements, but still want to be able
to zoom in/out and pan as in xsi but can't seem to be able by default without 
changing the camera values.
I am using display "looking through camera".

Currently I am zooming&panning using melscript to hotkeys but I do find this 
cumbersome, as it takes time and its unnatural rather than
using the normal navigation, yes as in xsi.

Any clues?

Thanks

-Manuel
