2013

Recommended settingWindow Manager
Metacity (with Gnome)
■ Set focus_mode to sloppy.
■ Set raise_on_click to false.
Environment Variables
The following adjustments to Maya environment variables are also
recommended to improve interaction with the hotbox.
In your Maya.env file, set the following:
■ MAYA_SET_PARENT_HINT=0
Controls the automatic parenting of windows, where setting it to 0 disables
the default parenting. (The behavior is similar to Maya 2010 on Linux
systems.)
■ MAYA_HBFreeFocus=1
When set to 1, does not force the focus back to the window that had focus
prior to the hotbox appearing on screen. (This is an additional control
when MAYA_SET_PARENT_HINT=0 is set on Linux systems.)
■ MAYA_HBFreeRaise=1
When set to 1, does not force the previously focused window to be raised
when the hotbox disappears from screen. (This is an additional control
when MAYA_SET_PARENT_HINT=0 is set on Linux systems.)
Uninstall Maya on Mac OS X or Linux
To uninstall Maya on Mac OS X
1 Navigate to the Maya directory (by default,
/Applications/Autodesk/Maya2013/).
2 Drag the Maya2013 application to the trash.
3 Open a Terminal window and execute both of the following commands,
where <productKey> is your product key:
adlmreg –u S <productKey> 2013.0.0.F
adlmreg –u N <productKey> 2013.0.0.F
This ensures that product information is properly removed from the
ProductInformation.pit file.
