Thanks for the reply, I haven't visited the Simply Maya Forum for a while been doing lots of other things... but I just wanted to use Maya on a Mac - must be mad!

Anyway I checked with AW and this type truncation problem is due to the fact that Apple release new versions of OSX too quickly and Maya 3.5.1 is not supported on OSX 10.2!

Oh joy! Still I know it's going backwards but I don't care for some strange reason I am enjoying using 3.5.1 on me Mac and that's what it is all about!
