ConnectICENodes

Introduced

v7.0

Categories

ICE

Description

Connects two nodes through the specified ports (components).

Scripting Syntax

ConnectICENodes( [InputPort], [OutputPort] );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
InputPort String Input port on the target node (ICENodeInputPort).

Default Value: If not specified, the user is prompted to select a target.

OutputPort String Output port on the source node (ICENodeOutputPort).

Default Value: If not specified, the user is prompted to select a source.
