[solved] How to quickly copy settings between same component types

Rigging General
#1

I am rigging a Centipede like creature for work. There are 8 pairs of legs.
Has anyone come up with a fast workflow for copying settings from one component to others of the same type?

Say I change my IK Reference Array on one and want all legs to get that change. Selecting each one, clicking settings, switching tabs, selecting guides and adding to the array x7 is annoying AF.

Cheers!

Python, or just edit the attribute directly in the attribute editor. You can copy/paste the text.

Of course. Thanks, Chris!

And for future visitors to this thread here’s a solution:

# quickly set ref arrays on selected guide roots

val = 'root_C0_root,body_C0_root'
for n in pm.ls(sl=1):
    n.ikrefarray.set(val)  
    n.upvrefarray.set(val)
