Synopsis

ikSystem [-allowRotation boolean] [-autoPriority] [-autoPriorityMC] [-autoPrioritySC] [-list int int] [-snap boolean] [-solve boolean] [-solverTypes] [object]

ikSystem is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The ikSystem command is used to set the global snapping flag for handles and set the global solve flag for solvers. The standard edit (-e) and query (-q) flags are used for edit and query functions.

Return value

string

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