ikSystem( [object] , [allowRotation=boolean], [autoPriority=boolean], [autoPriorityMC=boolean], [autoPrioritySC=boolean], [list=[int, int]], [snap=boolean], [solve=boolean], [solverTypes=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
ikSystem is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The ikSystem command is used to set the global snapping flag for
handles and set the global solve flag for solvers. The standard
edit (-e) and query (-q) flags are used for edit and query
functions.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
