Synopsis

dagObjectCompare([attribute=boolean], [bail=string], [connection=boolean], [namespace=string], [relative=boolean], [short=boolean], [type=boolean])

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

dagObjectCompare is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

• type - Currently supports transform nodes and shape nodes
• relatives - Compares DAG objects' children and parents
• connections - Checks to make sure the two dags are connected to the same sources and destinations
• attributes - Checks to make sure that the properties of active attributes are the same

Return value

None

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Compare two objects based on type and their relatives where one is in the namespace "base":
cmds.dagObjectCompare( t=True, r=True, n="base" )
# Compare two objects based on their connections and attributes where one is in the namespace "base" , break on first error:
cmds.dagObjectCompare( c=True, a=True, b="first")
# Compare two objects based on their type, connections, attributes, relatives and break on error while finishing current category:
cmds.dagObjectCompare( t=True, r=True, c=True, a=True, b=True, category=True, n="base")
