maya scene assemblies

[Robert Kolbeins]

I'd like to sneak in one question here using referenceAssembly node. The referenceAssembly node has a definition input path. I've got a assembly definition as a rigged character. The animator creates the referenceAssembly. I need to update the rig and the obvious would be to replace the referenceAssembly input definition file path. But if I do that, I loose the keyframes connection.

Any simple solution to this problem?

should this python module be able to do the job "import maya.app.sceneAssembly.assemblyReferenceInitialRep as iRep"

Seeing as you haven’t yet gotten an answer to this, I’ll just say that I’ve never seen nor used maya.app before. Are you sure it’s an end-user library, like maya.cmds? Having a quick look at that api, there seems to be a cmds.assembly command, have you tried it?

I'm using the assembly command to import character rig

When I publish a character rig I'm writing the files and generating the definition by script and that all works fine.  So I have something like:

assembly_definition.v005.mb(this file is built and paths the different rig files)

hiRes.v005.mb

loRes.v005.mb

proxy.v005.mb

Now I build the scene using.

reference=cmds.assembly(name=name, type='assemblyReference')

cmds.setAttr(reference + ".definition", path_to/assembly_definition.v005.mb, type="string")

So the character is there and has been animated. Now I've got the rig updated and I've written out v006 of all files above.  The assembly reference node has a path to the definition file, if I update the file path I loose all the keyframe connections.  And v005 and v006 are actually identical so there no change in the rig setups.   To have the option there to replace path then it seems like half finished node if it doesn't try to maintain the keyframe connections!.  I must be missing something obvious, no?

Sorry, you've reached the end of my experience with assemblies. :(​

Problem solved.  I need to put the active representation to the top one in the selection list[index 0] before switching the definition file version.
