Hi Vincent, Thanks for that, although I'm looking for something which will also work in Maya 2015/2016. I might just stick with what I have. I guess I just feel it's a bit odd that I need to create a list of objects (with one object) from which I can extract the DAG path ... instead of just using the DAG path directly from the "cmds.ls(type='mesh', )" command.
