Although Im not familiar with Maya 8, Y up has always been the default for Maya, Z up is default for Max.Why dontyou just leave it as is..

I just did z up in my maya window and its fine on anything I create, move etc.

Have you drawn it in the perspective window yet?


I take it you set this in your preferences...as you would

hmm weird...

yes i have drawn it both in perspective and the normal view panels. i still have it. I asked a friend to test this as well and he came up with the same problem.

Jay did you draw it on the x-view? because y and z work fine. And which Maya version do you use? I used 8.0.
