Summary

Hello,

I am trying to automate the export of our fur to ornatrix abc so we can use them with Vray Proxy objects. I am constructing the command based off of the documentation (a few different ways, both in py and mel)

mel option 1

OxAlembicExport("\\disks\TMP\TMP_0000\img\anim.odd\ornatrix\test.abc","-ft", 1001, "-tt", 1002, "-s", 1, "-r",{"FurBallShape1"});

get this error
// Error: Cannot reserve progress window //

mel option 2

OxAlembicExport "\\disks\TMP\TMP_0000\img\anim.odd\ornatrix\test.abc" -ft 1001 -tt 1002 -s 1 -r {"FurBallShape1"};

get the same error
// Error: Cannot reserve progress window //

python (since its a command)

maya.cmds.OxAlembicExport('\\disks\TMP\TMP_0000\img\anim.odd\ornatrix\test.abc',furShapes, ft= 1001, tt=1002, s=1, r=True)

python error
# Error: RuntimeError: file <string> line 2: Cannot reserve progress window #

Am i doing something wrong?
