Parameters:	node (PyNode) – node to search connections on
Returns:	joint
Return type:	PyNode

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.key_at_current_values(drivenCtls, keyChannels, driver, driverAtt, inTanType='linear', outTanType='linear', zeroKey=False)¶

Helper function to set SDK’s at Driven nodes current values :param drivenCtls: List of String names of the Driven Ctls. :type drivenCtls: list :param keyChannels: List of Channels to Key :type keyChannels: list :param driver: Driver Node :type driver: PyNode :param driverAtt: Driver Attr given as a string :type driverAtt: str :param inTanType: Tangent type, by default is linear. :type inTanType: str / optional :param outTanType: Tangent type, by default is linear. :type outTanType: str / optional :param zeroKey: if True, will set a zero key before

setting the key at current value.

Returns:	n/a

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.mirror_SDK(driverCtl)¶

Takes in a driver control and extrapolates out all the other information needed to mirror it’s connected SDK’s.

Parameters:	driverCtl (PyNode) –
Returns:	None

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.next_biggest(target, in_list)¶: Returns the next highest number in the in_list. If target is greater the the last number in in_list, will return the last item in the list.

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.next_smallest(target, in_list)¶: Returns the next Lowest number in the in_list. If target is smaller the the last number in in_list, will return the first item in the list.

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.prune_DK_nodes(white_list=[])¶

Finds all the driven key nodes that have no input or output connected and removes them. Nodes with the word profile in are excluded so that no guide components are broken.

Parameters:	white_list (list / optional) – List of nodes to ignore
Returns:	list (All the names of the deleted nodes)

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.reset_to_default(mode, clear_sel=False)¶

Reset All the Rig Driver Ctls or Anim Ctls to Default

mgear.rigbits.sdk_manager.core.set_limits_from_current(axis, controls=None, upperLimit=False, lowwerLimit=False)¶

Sets either the upper or lowwer limits on the provided control and axis

> get current limits > update either the lower or the upper > set limits to Enabled.

There is a lot of duplicate code but its a bit unavoidable with how transformLimits flags are set up.
