pymel.core.general.disconnectAttr

disconnectAttr(source, destination=None, inputs=None, outputs=None, **kwargs)

Disconnects two connected attributes. First argument is the source attribute, second is the destination.

Modifications:
  • If no destination is passed, then all inputs will be disconnected if inputs
    is True, and all outputs will be disconnected if outputs is True; if neither are given (or both are None), both all inputs and all outputs will be disconnected

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties
nextAvailable / na bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  If the destination multi-attribute has set the indexMatters to be false, the command will disconnect the first matching connection. No index needs to be specified. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.disconnectAttr

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

#    Create a sphere and cone and connect their rotate attribute.
#
sph = pm.sphere()
con = pm.cone()
sphereR = '%s.r' % sph[0]
coneR = '%s.r' % con[0]
pm.connectAttr(sphereR, coneR)

#    Break the connection between the rotate attributes.
#
pm.disconnectAttr(sphereR, coneR)
