Part I ✦ Getting Started with Maya 4.5
Menu changes
The menu changes in Maya 4.5 include version parity for Mac OS X, which was pre-
viously at version 3.5. For this reason, some changes to menus from as far back as
version 3 are listed here. If you are already familiar with some of the menu changes,
you have less to learn. The following lists many of the new or changed menus in
Maya 4.5:
Main Maya menu
The main Maya menu is across the top of your Maya window and is also the top
menu in your Hotbox.
