More than once, I've encountered display issues for the dialog that's supposed to display all inputs on a selected node. The dialog doesn't display at all. And my status line turns red with the following

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2011/scripts/others/detachHistoryTable.mel line 369: Object 'row1' not found.

Does anybody experience this?

I wanted to use this dialog to reorder the deformations on my mesh. Is there a "convenience" MEL command that we could use to reorder deformers manually without manually noting connections, then breaking them and reconnecting them in the proper order?

Thanks!

David

I had this problem as well. In my case it (may) have been caused because the the operatior stack contained a condition node (which should not matter), as newly created nodes with nothing but deforemers in it work fine, however anything with a condition node seems to fail. Anyways I was able to resolve it by commenting out lines 369 and 371
eg:

                if($nodeStateColumnNeedsResize || about -uiLanguageIsLocalized) {
                    for( $i=0; $i<$n; $i+=1 ) {
                        if(about -nt || about -uiLanguageIsLocalized) {
                            //rowLayout -e -cw 2 96 ("row" + $i);   <------you suck line of code
                        } else {
                            //rowLayout -e -cw 2 102 ("row" + $i);  <------you suck line of code
                        }
                    }
                }

And now everything seems to be working fine (so far).
