Create Constraint
Create a constraint with custom options:
- Parent
- Point
- Orient
- Scale
Switch targets
- “OFF” turns off all weights and blend attributes.
- “ON” turns on all weights and blend attributes.
- “SWITCH” activates the blend attribute, a single target and deactivates the rest.
- Maintain Visual Transforms: Update constraint offsets to maintain the object’s world-space transforms.
- Key: Animate the switch between the current frame and immediately previous frame.
Constraint data is saved in the scene file under a fileInfo entry.
To see the raw data, issue this command in a script editor:
maya.cmds.fileInfo("CMan_data", q=True)
Remove Constraints and Data
Remove a constraint from the scene with the trash icon.
WARNING: THIS IS NOT UNDO-ABLE!
Purge: Remove ALL data from the tool.
