Poly Wrap Deformer

[virtual_gravity]

I'm using maya 8.0 ULTD and I have just finished a model using subds.
I am trying to setup poly wrap deformers, but when I convert the subd model to polys, the new poly is still connected to the original.
In the settings for conversion, I have it set to vertices, show original, and share UV's is checked(I've tried it unchecked, but no difference)
The tutorial I'm watching shows him convert it, and then immediately moving the poly mesh off the subd without the subd attached to it.
When I assign the new poly mesh to a layer, then make the layer invisible, it hides the subd as well, but when I make the subd layer(made before the conversion) invisible, I can see it disappear inside the poly.
Any reason why this is happening?

thanks in advance

did you delete history?

[virtual_gravity]

It looks like history was deleted.
I tried copying the mesh, then converting it to polys and deleted the poly node on the subd mesh, and vice versa for the poly mesh, and it looks like it might work.
Is this a good idea? or is this a bad workflow?
Thanks

It's not necessarily a bad workflow if it's working for you, but deleting the history should just get it done faster.

Thank you very much for your advice.
I'll stick with it.

Cheers
