Hey everybody!

Is there some way to change the coordinate system? I'm not used to having the positive values on the Z axis come up towards me when in defualt view - it really bugs me. Changing the defualt perspecitive ain't a solution, it messes us the X axis, where the positive values go to the left instead of the right as they should.

Thanks

That option can be changed in the Preferences. Z and Y, as I am aware, are the only choices for the up axis...

Y is usually the default up axis for Maya.

As far as l'm aware that you can change the way the Y axis works, but that is not the axis I'm having problems with. Do other programs follow the same format as Maya does with its coordinate system?
