Synopsis

cpTool [-drag] [-help]

cpTool is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a cloth control. Controls allow you to manipulate the cloth object directly. To create a control, select one or more vertices of the cloth mesh. Then issue the cpTool -drag command to create a cloth control. The control will be attached to these vertices. You must then run a local simulation to see the cloth object move.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Create a drag control. This control has a shuttle object which moves along a motion path. The shuttle is attached to the selected vertices and pulls them along. The motion path's shape can be modified by selecting the end locator and moving it. The shuttle will follow the modified path. A local simulation will move the shuttle along the path. The shuttle can also be key framed by setting keys on the the uValue attribute.
