I'm wondering if there is a tool/method to debug cycle errors in maya?

Maya's errors doesn't really say much:
// Warning: line 0: Cycle on 'model_head_ctrl.parentMatrix[0]' may not evaluate as expected. (Use 'cycleCheck -e off' to disable this warning.) //

Sure, but like in my case, I have like 50 connections going from model_head_ctrl.parentMatrix[0].

No, the head control doesn't have any incomming connections

Is the head control parented under something that is being influenced by whatever the head control controls?

cycleCheck -list model_head_ctrl.parentMatrix[0]

cycleCheck -list model_head_ctrl.parentMatrix[0]That's exactly what I was looking for, can't believe I didn't think of checking the MEL reference :P

Thanks a bunch! :)
