i have all my points layed out and everything to where i want.

then, i go and execute the "autoRig" command and it makes the spike then says "// Error: More than one object matches name: ARArmCurve //"

how do i fix this?

Maya 4.5, correct? Courtesy of Madrake on another thread:

find the line in autoRig.mel (not too far, in "Mirror"):
string $mirror[] = `duplicate "ARSYMETRY"`;

and change it to:
string $mirror[] = `duplicate -rr -renameChildren "ARSYMETRY"`;

Worked for me. Thanks again Mandrake.

i am using maya 4, and i tried that and didnt work.

any other suggestions?

when i put in the -renameChildren it says

// Error: Invalid flag: -renameCharacter //
// Error: No object(s) to duplicate //

Oops, then put the script back the way it was :eek:

For 4.0, I think you need to just follow the directions in the autoRig help file to "assign unique names to child nodes is ON."
