	Sets whether the tool should snap the cursor to polygon face centers. Default false.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.snapTogetherCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create two nurbs spheres, then move them apart
pm.sphere(r=3, n='nurbsSphere1')
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsSphere1'), nt.MakeNurbSphere(u'makeNurbSphere1')] #
pm.move(5, 0, 0)
pm.sphere(r=3, n='nurbsSphere2')
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'nurbsSphere2'), nt.MakeNurbSphere(u'makeNurbSphere2')] #
pm.move(-5, 0, 0)

# Create a new snap together tool context, set it to move objects only, then switch to it
# You can use this tool to snap two spheres together
pm.snapTogetherCtx('snapTogetherCtx1', so=False)
# Result: u'snapTogetherCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('snapTogetherCtx1')
