Synopsis

cpCache [-allGeometry] [-assignCache cacheName] [-blend] [-cacheSegment cacheNode rangeString] [-copy] [-createCache] [-createTemplateCache] [-help] [-interpolate interpType] [-listAllCaches] [-listCaches solver] [-range] [-replaceCache cacheFile cacheNode] [-saveCache cacheNode filename] [-silent] [-solverCache solver] [-solverTemplateCache solver] [-targetCacheSegment cacheNode rangeString]

cpCache is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Flags

Long name (short name)	[argument types]	Properties
-help(-h)
Prints a quick help message.
-assignCache(-ac)	cacheName
Assigns cacheName as the active cache on the solver it belongs to.
-createCache(-cc)
Create a new cache and attach it to the current solver.
-createTemplateCache(-ctc)
Move the existing cache to the template plug and create a new cache to be used for resimulation.
-allGeometry(-ag)
Modifier for copy option, all geometry in the cache is to be copied, not just the selected components
-listAllCaches(-lac)
Lists all of the caches in the current scene. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-replaceCache(-rc)	cacheFile cacheNode
Replaces the cacheNode's current cache file with cacheFile.
-solverCache(-sc)	solver
Returns the cache currently assigned to 'solver'.
-solverTemplateCache(-stc)	solver
Returns the template cache currently assigned to 'solver'.
-saveCache(-sav)	cacheNode filename
Save the cache in cacheNode to the filename specified.
-interpolate(-i)	interpType
Specifies the cache editing operation to be interpolation and the interpolation method used is 'interpType'. Interpolation types can be 'linear' or 'sine'.
-blend(-b)
Specifies the cache editing operation to be blend. This takes a series of cache segments and blends them together.
-copy(-cop)
Copies source cache segment to target cache segment. Only one cache segment can be specified.
-listCaches(-lc)	solver
List the caches current assigned to the solver.
-cacheSegment(-cs)	cacheNode rangeString
This flag is used in conjunction with an edit operation, like interpolate or blend. Edit operation require cache segments to act against. Cache segments are multi-use. Cache segments require two paramters, a cacheNode and a range from that cache node.
-targetCacheSegment(-tc)	cacheNode rangeString
Target cache segment specifies the destination of an edit operation. This is where the result of the edit will be placed. The rangeString provide must be equal in duration to the source cache segments (cacheSegment) provided. Time dilation is currently not supported.
-silent(-s)
Perform the above operations without printing any information to the console.
-range(-r)
Provides the valid range of the specified cache node.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command
