lists information about the current state of the constraint in the system.

Format:

 
list_info constraint
constraint_name =
existing constraint
joint_name =
existing joint
gear_name =
existing gear name
coupler_name =
existing coupler name
jprim_name =
existing jprim name
point_curve_name =
existing point_curve name
curve_curve_name =
existing curve curve name
motion_name =
existing motion name
user_constraint_name =
existing user constraint name
brief =
on/off
write_to_terminal =
on/off
file_name =
String

Example:

 
list_info constraint &
joint_name =
JOINT_1 &
point_curve_name =
PTCV_1 &
brief =
off
This command will display the detailed information about the specified joint and the point curve and its dependants on the screen in the information dialog window .

Description:

 
Parameter
Value Type
Description
constraint_name
Existing constraint name
Specify an existing constraint name.
brief
Yes/No
Specify whether you want the marker information in brief or not.
joint_name
Existing joint name
Specify an existing joint name
gear_name
Existing gear name
Specify an existing gear name
coupler_name
Existing coupler name
Specify an existing coupler name.
jprim_name
Existing jprim
Specify an existing jprim name
point_curve_name
Existing point curve name
Specify an existing point curve name.
curve_curve_name
Existing curve curve name
Specify an existing curve name.
motion_name
Existing motion name
Specify an existing motion name
user_constraint_name
Existing user constraint name
Specify an existing user constraint name.
write_to_terminal
Yes/No
Specify whether you want the constraint information to be displayed on the terminal.
file_name
String
Specify filename in which you want to save the constraint information.

Extended Definition:

1. If the parameter “Brief” is turned on then only the information about the constraint is displayed such as location and orientation without specifying the information on the dependants. If “Brief” is turned off then the information about the dependents is also displayed.

Caution:

1. The directory which you specify the file_name should exist. If it does not then the constraint information will not be copied into the specified filename.

Tips:

1. To specify file_name parameter, typing “?” after the “file_name=” will open the Browse window using which the required filename can be specified.
2. The information in list_info constraint can be sent to the information window, a file, or both.
