Hi,

I was trying to install autopack on maya 2013 newly installed on my laptop. However after both one step and manual installation when i try to open epmv or autopack from the maya console, it gives the following error message:

# Error: AttributeError: file <maya console> line 2: 'module' object has no attribute 'AutoFill'
# Error: AttributeError: file <maya console> line 2: 'module' object has no attribute 'ePMV'

A previous installation in maya 2013 on a different laptop works fine..
Could you please help me out with this bug? ( is it a bug) ?...

Thanks a lot in advance,

Best regards,

Arko Chakraborty

Hi,

can you go in the plugin manager and see if the plugins are loaded ? 
If they don't load, whats the error messages that appear when click the checkbox in the plugin manager ?

thanks

It seems there is a missing python module, I will double check in the distribution release what is going on.

Hello, 

Alright, great ! 
Yes, I believe I did download that file (upy-maya-2015-mac-64.zip) I used the Mac link #3 at this installation guide. 

This is how it was organized on my computer under /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/ for each of my versions





Still, I downloaded from the link in your message and replaced them.

The same error occurs in both Maya 2018 and Maya 2015 for Mac :

Thanks for checking it out Monday !
If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Hi,
I wasn't able to reproduce the error you encounter. I have a fresh installation of maya 2018, the latest plugin  (upy-maya-2015-mac-64.zip) and everything seems to work for me on 
I think there is some conflict in your python path. The numpy that ship with our plugin doesn't get called first so the plugin doesn't find the oldnumeric module which is absent in more recent distribution of numpy.
A solution would be to find out which numpy is used, and copy there the oldnumeric folder.
So in maya python console type :
import numpy
print numpy
this will print the path to the used numpy init file and folder (for instance /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/__init__.pyc) 
the you will copy the folder /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2018/plug-ins/MGLToolsPckgs/numpy/oldnumeric to pathtonumpy/ ( in my example /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/ )

Let me know if this fix the problem.
