Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I tried "maya" as a command, but it also says it does not exist?

So once you've assigned something it will work (but there's still no help for it!)

Why does Maya have such crappy documentation?! Has this been addressed in maya 5? I looked at the Max 5 documentation and it kicks ass over the maya one! There's loads of tutorials from rigging to animation to particles to whatever you want! user added image

I wish alias would sort it out! oh and the MEL interface but that's a whole other kettle of fish!

From what I've heard, it has been improved from a usability stadpoint, and has a more stable, and thorough search feature.

...but that's all I know about it....

Found this on google:

Issue: Optimized scene file location when using the -optimizeRender flag Limitation

When using the -optimizeRender flag, the location for the optimized scene file to be created is based on the current project defined by the preferences or by the MAYA_PROJECT environment variable.

Workaround:

Provide the absolute path where you would like the optimized file to be created.
