pymel.core.animation.enableDevice

static animation.enableDevice(*args, **kwargs)

Sets (or queries) the device enable state for actions involving the device. -monitoraffects all assignInputDevice and attachDeviceAttr actions for the named device-recordcontrols if the device is recorded (by default) by a recordDevice action-apply channelName [channelName ... ]controls if data from the device channel is applied (by default) by applyTake to the param curves attached to the named channel.Disabling a channel for applyTake cause applyTake to ignore the enable state of all childchannels – treating them as disabled. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
apply (a)		bool
	enable/disable applyTakefor the specified channel(s) Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
device (d)		unicode
	specifies the device to change
enable (en)		bool
	enable (or disable) monitor/record/apply
monitor (m)		bool
	enables/disables visible update for the device (default)
record (rec)		bool
	enable/disable recordDevicedevice recording

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.enableDevice

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Enables all assignInputDevice and attachDeviceAttr actions for the
# device named "clock"
pm.enableDevice( enable=True, d='clock' )

# Stops applyTake (with no arguments) from updating param curves
# attached to the minutes  and hours channels of device named "clock"
pm.enableDevice( 'minutes', 'hours', enable=False, d='clock', apply=True )
