Returns the connected object (KinematicState, Primitive, etc.) to
which this port is connected, this can be used to access the name or path of the object. It is possible
to access other output ports within the context of the _Update function of a custom operator however,
this is not recommended and the results cannot be guaranteed. Within the context of a custom operator's
_Update function you should only access the current OutputPort object available via as
an argument to the function and any InputPort object.
Port.Target2 replaces Port.Target which returns a ProjectItem and
didn't allow you access to non-ProjectItem objects such as the Parameter object.
// get accessor Object rtn = Port.Target2; |
