Synopsis

setDynamic [-allOnWhenRun] [-disableAllOnWhenRun] [-setAll] [-setOff] [-setOn] selectionList

setDynamic is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

setDynamic sets the isDynamic attribute of particle objects on or off. If no objects are specified, it sets the attribute for any selected objects. If -all is thrown, it sets the attribute for all particle objects in the scene. By default it sets the attribute true (on); if the -off flag is thrown, it sets the attribute false (off).

WARNING: setDynamic is obsolescent. This is the last version of Maya in which it will be supported.
