polyBlindData([associationType=string], [binaryData=string], [booleanData=boolean], [delete=boolean], [doubleData=float], [int64Data=int64], [intData=int], [longDataName=string], [rescan=boolean], [reset=boolean], [shape=boolean], [shortDataName=string], [stringData=string], [typeId=int])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
polyBlindData is undoable, NOT queryable, and editable.
Command creates blindData types (basically creates an instance of
TdnPolyBlindData). When used with the query flag, it returns the data
types that define this blindData type.
This command is to be used create a blindData node *and* to edit the same..
The associationType flag *has* to be specified at all times.. This is
because if an instance of the specified BD typeId exists in the history
chain but if the associationType is not the same, then a new polyBlindData
node is created..
For object level blind data, only the object itself must be specified.
A new compound attribute BlindDataNNNN will be created on the object.
Blind data attribute names must be unique across types for object level
blind data.
So, the command will require the following to be specified:
- typeId,
- associationType
- longDataName or shortDataName of data being edited.
- The actual data being specified.
- The components that this data is to be attached to.

Argument types |
Properties |
delete(delete)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Specifies that this will remove the blind data if found
|
|
reset(rst)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Specifies that this command will reset the given attribute to default value
|
|
rescan(res)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Enables a rescan of blind data nodes for cached information
|
|
shape(sh)
|
boolean
|
|
|
For object association only, apply blind data to the shape(s) below
this node instead of the node itself
|
|
typeId(id)
|
int
|
|
|
Specifies the typeId of the BlindData type being created
|
|
associationType(at)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the dataTypes that are part of BlindData node being created.
Allowable associations are "object" for any object, and "vertex" "edge" and
"face" for mesh objects. Other associations for other geometry types may
be added.
|
|
longDataName(ldn)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the long name of the data that is being modified by this command.
|
|
shortDataName(sdn)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the short name of the data that is being modified by this command.
|
|
doubleData(dbd)
|
float
|
|
|
Specifies the data type is a floating point double value
|
|
intData(ind)
|
int
|
|
|
Specifies the data type is an integer value
|
|
int64Data(lid)
|
int64
|
|
|
Specifies the data type is an 64-bit integer value
|
|
stringData(sd)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the data type is a string value
|
|
booleanData(bd)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Specifies the data type is a boolean logic value
|
|
binaryData(bnd)
|
string
|
|
|
