Enhancements to Assets and File Referencing — Maya 2011 New Features

More easily segment, re-use and exchange data with or without file referencing. Data can be exported and imported as offline files to flexibly partition scenes, while reference edits can be imported, exported, and removed without unloading. A new option to create assets with transforms (DAG assets) enables them to be directly positioned, parented, instanced, and light-linked, streamlining the most common assets workflows. Other assets enhancements include creation from template, automatic template binding based on a user-defined mapping, and extended black box support.

@SilentAssassin1991 The option you're speaking of is called "preselection highlighting". It's a relatively new feature, but I also don't prefer it enabled. To disable it, open the preferences (Window > Settings/Preferences > Preferences) and choose the "Selection" tab in the "Settings" category, and uncheck "Preselection highlight". This is an old comment I know, but I thought I'd answer it.

@blakarosoe86 Scientist recently discovered that maya has a BULIT-IN help documentation :S Check the help-file dude, search for hotkeys for instance

Maybe this is a very noobish question but...how do you rotate the camera, I used MIKUMIKUDANCE before and I can just move the camera with my right mouse click and hold, but how does that work with Maya?

Could it be ? Could Maya not be ugly anymore ? Is this a dream ? Can I finally have the viewport straight in the middle of the screen ?
