c4d.AliasTrans ¶

New in version R17.032.

The alias translator takes care about reconnecting BaseLink links when cloning, copying, reading or writing objects.

Normally Cinema 4D provides an alias translator when needed, for example in NodeData.CopyTo() . However, to copy objects manually use:

trans = c4d.AliasTrans()
if trans is None or trans.Init(doc) is False:
return False
clone = op.GetClone(c4d.COPYFLAGS_0, trans);
if clone is None:
return False
trans.Translate(True)
