problems with maya 2009

[himadri_sm]

i am currently trying to learn maya 2009 but i've faced a problem with the rotate tool.it does not select a particular axis from any view.i have to rotate the viewport to select the axis i want.please check the images as i am not being able to explain well. i want to be able to select any axes from any view..but i can only select the axes that is facing me & sometimes when i select one axes i am not able to select any other unless i rotate the viewport.how do i solve this problem?

You may have an issue with something called "Gimbol". This is similar to an issue I sometmes run into in 3DS Max. If you are able to change your Rotate By options a la a drop down or check boxes or whatever make sure this is not selected and try again. If that doesnt work, try to select Gimbol and then try. Its really hard to tell from still images, although you did a great job providing us multiples. Hopefully this helps. Im not really sure having never really used Maya much.

Yes i have the same problem like you Sekhar, basically the manipulators are not selected when you hover the mouse over them, instead it's a little off, I activated highlits for manipulators so I can see when i select one axis or another and the mouse must be way far in the viewport and off the gizmo so one axis to be selected. It only happens for the rotate tool, by the way Sekhar do you have an ATI graphic card???? I think the Ati cards are the problem because I don't remember to be doing like this on Nvidia.

thanx for the replies.the problem persists.i am using ati hd4850 with catalyst 9.1 drivers.i installed the catalyst 9.2 drivers but it does not work. after activating the rotate tool & then going to the inputs if i select a particular axis & then come back to the viewport & try to manipulate the axis, the tool automatically selects a different axis..mostly the one that is facing me. all other tools are working fine. there's no way i can buy a new nvidia graphic card. there has to be a solution to this.

hey i found the solution. i uninstalled the 9.2 drivers & installed the old 8.12 drivers.the issue is resolved finally. but either autodesk should provide support for latest drivers or ATI should come up with some fix.updating drivers should end problems,not create them.

Yeeesssss! TY TY TY, i thought it may be the video card, i will do this also but we definitively report this to ATI so they can fix it. TY very much!
