Synopsis

ikSolver( [object] , [epsilon=float], [maxIterations=int], [name=string], [solverType=string])

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

ikSolver is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The ikSolver command is used to set the attributes for an IK Solver or create a new one. The standard edit (-e) and query (-q) flags are used for edit and query functions.

Return value

string

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