ConnectToGroup (Operator)
Introduced
4.0
Description
Connects an object to a port group. This method is useful for dynamic operators, where optional or multi-instance connections are made after the object is already connected.
Note: This method only works for Self-Installed Custom Operators if there is a single port inside the port group. This limitation exists because you can only pass a single object in the Object argument.
Scripting Syntax
Operator.ConnectToGroup( Group, Object )
C# Syntax
Int32 Operator.ConnectToGroup( Int32 in_group, Object in_obj );Parameters

Object |
The object to be connected to the port. For built-in Operators this object can be a X3DObject and Softimage will attempt to find the correct data underneath the X3DObject to match each port inside the PortGroup. For Self-Installed Custom Operators this should be the specific target object for the port inside the PortGroup. |
Return Value
Long The index of new port group instance.
