cpConstraint(
[objects ...]
, [assigner=[assigner, type]], [help=boolean], [name=objectName], [type=[type, name]])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
cpConstraint is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a constraint on a cloth mesh. The use of
this command requires multiple selection. One selection is an
object which will act as the constraint. The other selection is either
a group of cloth vertices to be constrained, or a curve on the cloth panel.
There are currently 5 types of constraints:
1. Transform constraint, which constrains a set of cloth vertices to
follow another object's transform.
2. Mesh constraint, which constrains a set of cloth vertices to follow a set
of triangles of a rigid body.
3. Field constraint, which affects a
set of cloth vertices by a dynamics field.
4. Cloth constraint, which constrains
points on one cloth to the triangles of another cloth (or the same cloth).

help(h)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Prints a quick help message.
|
|
type(t)
|
[type, name]
|
|
|
Specifies the type of constraint target. Currently, the
type name must be cloth, transform, mesh, or field. The default value is
transform. Type names: [cloth|field|mesh|transform|resimulation]
|
|
assigner(a)
|
[assigner, type]
|
|
|
Specifies the type of assigner: points or curve. A curve assigner allows
you to pick a construction curve that was used to make a cloth panel, and
a target object. The point assigner allows you to pick a set of points
on cloth and a target. Assigner types: [point|curve]. If you have 2
objects selected, then the default is curve. If you have 1 non-component object
selected, then the default is point.

|
name(n)
|
objectName
|
|
|
Specifies the name of the constraint object transform. The actual shape name
will be objectNameShape.
