otprefer command

Get/set which type definition to use when multiple implementations are available.

See also: otconfig, otwrite

It is possible for the same operator definition to be available from several different OTL files in the same Houdini session. This command lets you choose a particular OTL file to use as the source for an operator definition. This overrides the global options set with the otconfig command.

Without any arguments, the command prints the current overrides.

If you give a table/operator pair without an otl_file, the command prints the current override, if any, for that operator type.

If you give a table/operator pair and an otl_file, the command sets the given library as the source for the operator type.

The table value specifies the class of the operator you want to modify. A list of valid table names is found in the help for the otwrite command. The operator value is the name of the specific operator type.
