So I've been trying to fix this problem for the last two hours without success.

My rotate tool has some weird shape for the rotate axis instead of the usual circles for the rotation axis. ***see attached picture***

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to switch it back.

Thanks for any help.

Alright well one way I've found to fix the problem is deleting your Maya's folder in MyDocuments. It does delete all your preferences and resets Maya to it's default setting, thus fixing the problem, but not in the most convenient way.

If someone has a better solution, please post it for future references.

Thank you.

This is not a maya settings issue. This is a graphics card issue. What video card are you using? If it's a consumer card, Geforce, Radeon, or Intel, you'll likely run into problems like this.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
