pymel.core.system.iterReferences

static system.iterReferences(parentReference=None, recursive=False, namespaces=False, refNodes=False, references=True, recurseType='depth')

returns references in the scene as a list of value tuples. The values in the tuples can be namespaces, refNodes (as PyNodes), and/or references (as FileReferences), and are controlled by their respective keywords. If only one of the three options is True, the result will not be a list of value tuples, but will simply be a list of values.

Parameters:

• parentReference (string, Path, or FileReference) – a reference to get sub-references from. If None (default), the current scene is used.
• recursive (bool) – recursively determine all references and sub-references
• recurseType (string) – if recursing, whether to do a ‘breadth’ or ‘depth’ first search; defaults to a ‘depth’ first
