▪There are two types of links:

- Parent Link:

Parent link is only available for select-buttons and the slider handles (which are actually also select-buttons).

Active the link tool , press on one select-button, drag and link to other select-button.

If lots of buttons need to be linked to a single parent select-button, just select the children select-button first, then press and drag to link them to the parent select-button.

The parent link helps out the hierarchy selection in animator mode, also give animator a sense of "Hierarchy" :

with the parent links been setup, animator LMB double clicking on the parent seelct-button:

Then he have the parent select-button as well as all the children select buttons been selected in maya scene:

From MG-Picker Studio v1.7, you can connect a select-button to multiple parent select-buttons.

- Attribute Link:

Attribute link is used by attribute-button to control other picker item visibilities.

The source of a attribute link could be any type of picker item, while the destination of the link should always be an attribute-button.

Say you have a bool attribute-button, control all the other picker items:

Click on the value area, all the other items will be toggle to invisible.

Attribute link is not visible in animator mode, and in animator mode, you could click any part of a attribute button to switch its value.

Not only a bool value attribute-button could toggle other items visibilities, the enum type, or maya attribute button could do this job.

Since MG-Picker Studio v1.7, any picker item can be linked to multiple master attribute buttons. These attribute buttons together control

the visibility of the item. You can setup "and" / "or" visibility operator to change the behavior of how the visibility is controled. "and" means

only if all attribute buttons got the value that make item visible, then item is visible; "or" means as long as one attribute button got the desire

value, the item will be visible.
