pymel.core.windows.setNodeTypeFlag

setNodeTypeFlag(*args, **kwargs)

This command sets static data on the specified node type. This will affect the class of node type as a whole. The argument passed may be the name of the node type or the node type tag. Node type tags may be found using the objectType command.

In query mode returns true if the node type will evaluate in parallel when using the parallel DG evaluation option in Viewport 2.0. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# don't display unit conversion nodes
pm.setNodeTypeFlag( pm.objectType(tagFromType='unitConversion'), display=False )
# Result: True #
pm.setNodeTypeFlag( 'mesh', threadSafe=True )
# Result: True #
pm.setNodeTypeFlag( 'mesh', q='true', threadSafe=True )
// Returns 1
