Maya: Camera Publish resets image plane to default view size

[BigRoy]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior:

If you publish a camera instance then currently any image planes that are attached to the camera are detached during the extraction and re-attached afterwards. This re-attaching has the side effect that Maya resets the image plane to the default "fit to view" sizes and position.

The issue basically occurs on this line of code:

cmds.imagePlane(image_plane, edit=True, camera=camera)

As the maya docs state:

When the image plane is attached to a camera, the image plane's transform node will be set identity.

Expected Behavior:

Image planes (and the rest of the scene) should remain as they were before to the publish.

Version

1.0.0

What platform you are running on?

Windows

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Apply an image plane to the camera
2. Change the Placement > "size" of the image plane
3. Publish the camera
4. The image plane's placement has now been reset due to the publish.

Are there any labels you wish to add?
