pymel.core.animation.ikSystem¶

ikSystem(*args, **kwargs)¶

The ikSystem command is used to set the global snapping flag for handles and set the global solve flag for solvers. The standard edit (-e) and query (-q) flags are used for edit and query functions.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
allowRotation / ar		bool
	Set true to allow rotation of an ik handle with keys set on translation.
autoPriority / ap		bool
	set autoPriority for all ikHandles
autoPriorityMC / apm		bool
	set autoPriority for all multiChain handles
autoPrioritySC / aps		bool
	set autoPriority for all singleChain handles
list / ls		int, int
	returns the solver execution order when in query mode(list of strings) changes execution order when in edit mode (int old position, int new position)
snap / sn		bool
	Set global snapping
solve / sol		bool
	Set global solve
solverTypes / st		bool
	returns a list of valid solverTypes ( query only ) Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.ikSystem

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Prints out the solver execution order
#
pm.ikSystem( q=True, ls=True )
# Result: [u'ikSCsolver', u'ikRPsolver', u'ikSplineSolver', u'hikSolver'] #

# Moves solver on position 2 to position 1 in
# the execution order list ( zero based index )
#
pm.ikSystem( e=True, ls=(1, 0) )
