Is Maya 2016 a joke?

#1

I posted a thread, 12 hours later nobody can even tell me how to move a vert along an edge.

So I am posting another one. This is how I do it in 2015. Press the ‘set to edge button’ in the move tool. Easy.

So why has this been removed in 2016? Why does transform constraint- edge, in the move tool keep snapping when snap is off? Why do I have to delete history every 5 seconds to stop snapping.

Why does pressing ‘c’ with MMB keep snapping? Why does ‘c’ with MMB not work in top view. I can’t slide on all edges.

Why can I not select 3 verts and ‘c’ with MMB and move them along an edge without it snapping and all moving different distances.

If someone can actually tell me how to move vert or verts along an edge… that would be great. Really basic.

Thanks

hold down D will snap the pivot to edges/vertx/faces…
hold down D + RMB and you could pin or unpin the new pivot…

OK thanks. Thanks alot. I can see that I then need more the pivot too.

This sums up Maya. I do like the software, but to get rid of an important button is frustrating. I will use the d button, but having to keep moving the pivot to the vert is another step and will get frustrating.

Once again… thanks, maybe in time I will get to like this new way of working.

Position check box, keeps pivot from moving- not moving…

If anyone interested in 2016 changes
