All user preference string constants.
Note: You can use either the name of the constant (under the
Constant column) or the string it represents (under the Value
column), as long as you remember that the Value is a string (so you
need to use quotation marks), but the Constant is an enum, so you
can't use quotation marks.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| siAutoInspect | AutoInspectEnabled | TRUE to force the property dialogs to automatically pop up on
object creation. Corresponds to User Preferences > Interaction > General > Automatically Popup Property Editors on Node Creation in the User Interface. Note: This preference cannot be changed permanently via scripting. See Property Editor Automatic Inspection for more information. |
| siCompensationFlag | SI3D_CONSTRAINT_COMPENSATION_MODE | Toggle the Comp button in the Constrain panel. Possible values are: 0 = off 1 = on Corresponds to Constrain < Compensation in the main-menu. |
| siCustomCommandLibCache | CustomCommandLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom command library cache. Disabling the cache allows developers to recompile an add-on library without having to unload it explicitly. Disabling a cache can drastically affect the performance of Softimage, therefore it is recommended to disable it only in the context of add-ons development. For performance reasons, the state of the cache is not persisted with the scene. By default the cache is enabled at startup, therefore users have to disable it at each session. |
| siCustomOperatorLibCache | CustomOperatorLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom operator library cache. Disabling the cache allows developers to recompile an add-on library without having to unload it explicitly. Disabling a cache can drastically affect the performance of Softimage, therefore it is recommended to disable it only in the context of add-ons development. For performance reasons, the state of the cache is not persisted with the scene. By default the cache is enabled at startup, therefore users have to disable it at each session. |
| siDisplayCallbackLibCache | DisplayCallbackLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom display callback library cache. Disabling the cache allows developers to recompile a plug-in library without having to unload it explicitly. Disabling a cache can drastically affect the performance of Softimage, therefore it is recommended to disable it only in the context of add-ons development. For performance reasons, the state of the cache is not persisted with the scene. By default the cache is enabled at startup, therefore users have to disable it at each session. |
| siDisplayLibCache | DisplayLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom view library cache. Disabling the cache allows developers to recompile a plug-in library without having to unload it explicitly.

For performance reasons, the state of the cache is not persisted with the scene. By default the cache is enabled at startup, therefore users have to disable it at each session. |
| siDisplayPassLibCache | DisplayPassLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom display pass library cache.

| siFilterLibCache | FilterLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom filter library cache. Disabling the cache allows developers to recompile a plug-in library without having to unload it explicitly.

| siMenuLibCache | MenuLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom menu library cache.

| siPropertyLibCache | PropertyLibCache | This preference enables or disables the custom property library cache. Disabling the cache allows developers to recompile a plug-in library without having to unload it explicitly. Disabling a cache can drastically affect the performance of Softimage, therefore it is recommended to disable it only in the context of add-ons development.

| siRTShaderLibCache | RTShaderLibCache | This preference enables or disables the Realtime shader library cache.

| siScrCommandLogEnabled | SCR_CMDLOG_ENABLED | Set to True to enable command execution logging in the scripting history window. |
| siScrCommandLogFileName | SCR_CMDLOG_FILENAME | Use this user preference to specify the name of the file to use for logging commands and messages. Use siSrcCommandLogToFile to enable logging to file. |
| siScrCommandLogMaxSize | SCR_CMDLOG_MAXSIZE | Use this user preference to get and set the maximum size for the scripting command/message log. |
| siScrCommandLogToFile | SCR_CMDLOG_TOFILE | Set to True to log the scripting command/message to a file. Use siSrcCommandLogFileName to specify the log file name. |

language. Possible values are: "VBScript" "JScript" "PerlScript" "Python" |
| siScrMessageLogEnabled | SCR_MSGLOG_ENABLED | Set to True to enable message logging in the scripting history window. |
| siScrRealTimeMessagingEnabled | SCR_RTMSG_ENABLED | Set to True to enable real-time message logging in the scripting history window. Messages are delivered immediately as they arrive instead of reported at the end of the command execution. |
| siTimeDisplayFormatDisplayAsFrames | SI3D_TIMEDISPLAYFORMAT_DISPLAYASFRAMES | Set to True to display time as frame. |
| siTimeDisplayFormatDisplayUserFormat | SI3D_TIMEDISPLAYFORMAT_DISPLAYUSERFORMAT | Set to True to use the default frame format or false for a user selected format for display purposes. |
