Synopsis

curveMoveEPCtx()

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

curveMoveEPCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The curveMoveEPCtx command creates a new context for moving curve edit points using a manipulator. Edit points can only be moved one at a time.

Return value

string(name of the new context)

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a curve
cmds.curve(p=[(0, 0, 0), (3, 5, 6), (5, 6, 7), (9, 9, 9), (12, 10, 2)], k=[0,0,0,1,2,2,2])
# Result: curve1 #

# Change the selection mode to components, and set edit-point selection mask on only
cmds.selectMode(co=True)
cmds.selectType(allComponents=False, editPoint=True)

# Create a new curve edit point editor context, then switch to it
# You can move the edit points using manipulator
cmds.curveMoveEPCtx('curveMoveEPCtx1')
cmds.setToolTo('curveMoveEPCtx1')
