pymel.core.animation.enableDevice¶

enableDevice(*args, **kwargs)¶

Sets (or queries) the device enable state for actions involving the device. -monitoraffects all assignInputDevice and attachDeviceAttr actions for the named device-recordcontrols if the device is recorded (by default) by a recordDevice action-apply channelName [channelName ... ]controls if data from the device channel is applied (by default) by applyTake to the param curves attached to the named channel.Disabling a channel for applyTake cause applyTake to ignore the enable state of all childchannels – treating them as disabled. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Dynamic library stub function

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
apply / a		bool
	enable/disable applyTakefor the specified channel(s)
device / d		unicode
	specifies the device to change
enable / en		bool
	enable (or disable) monitor/record/apply
monitor / m		bool
	enables/disables visible update for the device (default)
record / rec		bool
	enable/disable recordDevicedevice recording Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.enableDevice

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Enables all assignInputDevice and attachDeviceAttr actions for the
# device named "clock"
pm.enableDevice( enable=True, d='clock' )

# Stops applyTake (with no arguments) from updating param curves
# attached to the minutes  and hours channels of device named "clock"
pm.enableDevice( 'minutes', 'hours', enable=False, d='clock', apply=True )
