pymel.core.general.relationship¶

relationship(*args, **kwargs)¶

This is primarily for use with file IO. Rather than write out the specific attributes/connections required to maintain a relationship, a description of the related nodes/plugs is written instead. The relationship must have an owner node, and have a specific type. During file read, maya will make the connections and/or set the data necessary to represent the realtionship in the dependency graph. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
b / b		bool
	Break the specified relationship instead of creating it
relationshipData / rd		unicode
	Provide relationship data to be used when creating the relationship. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.relationship

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.relationship('ignore', 'lightLinker1', 'pCube1', 'pointLight1')
