' This example creates a little planetary scene and applies 2 constraints
' from the planet to the ring: a Position and a Scaling constraint. Then
' it removes only the Scaling constraint by using the RemoveCnsType command
' and verifies this by printing out a list of constraints on each object
' before and after removing the constraints.
'
' Create a planet that will serve as the constraining object 
set oPlanet = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "NurbsSurface", "Planet" )
' Create a moon to be constrained by the planet and scale it 
set oMoon = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "NurbsSurface", "Moon" )
Translate oMoon, -6, 4, -5, siRelative, siView, siObj, siXYZ
Scale oMoon, 0.15, 0.15, 0.15, siAbsolute, siParent, siObj, siXYZ
' Create a ring to be constrained by the planet and scale it
set oRing = CreatePrim( "Disc", "NurbsSurface", "Ring" )
Scale oRing, 2.3, 1, 2.3, siAbsolute, siParent, siObj, siXYZ
' Check to see if any constraints are currently set 
getCnsInfo oPlanet
getCnsInfo oMoon
getCnsInfo oRing
' Apply a Position constraint on the ring and the moon from the planet.
' (The small sphere and the disc depend on the position of the larger sphere.) 
' Notice that you have to pass the name of the object instead of its object 
' variable with this command because the command changes that variable to a 
' different type
ApplyCns "Position", oMoon.Name & "," & oRing.Name, "Planet", true
' Check to see which constraints are currently set 
getCnsInfo oPlanet
getCnsInfo oMoon

' Display the constraint relationship in all the default views and
' the default camera view. This is the equivalent of turning on 
' "Relation" and "Relation Info" in the view visibility options.
