DSJointDefinition Object


Description

DSJointDefinition object.

Methods

Name Description
Copy Creates a copy of this DSJointDefinition object. The new DSJointDefinition object is independent of any joint. It can edited and used as input to edit an existing joint or to create a new joint. Creating a copy of a definition, editing it, and then assigning it back to the joint can be a more efficient way of editing multiple inputs because it results in a single recompute.
