From the MFnAttribute::setWritable documentation:

Sets whether this attribute should be writable. If an attribute is writable, then it can be used as the destination in a dependency graph connection. If an attribute is not writable then setAttr commands will fail to change the attribute.

Well, after setting setWritable to false for a numeric attribute, I can still use setAttr in Maya to modify the attribute. Is this a bug and is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Dirk

I had that too. Did you find a workaround?
