Synopsis

editDisplayLayerMembers [-fullNames] [-noRecurse]

editDisplayLayerMembers is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

This command is used to query and edit membership of display layers. No equivalent 'remove' command is necessary since all objects must be in exactly one display layer. Removing an object from a layer can be accomplished by adding it to a different layer.

Flags

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-fullNames(-fn) query
(Query only.) If set then return the full DAG paths of the objects in the layer. Otherwise return just the object's name.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
