    Hi, you can use 

    set CompList [hm_complist name]

    or

    set CompList [hm_entitylist comps name] 

    the first will raise error if no comp found but the second won't

    I wrote this the other day to be able to click on the part and see what component it is

    (It is useful for checking part numbers of bits after importing a big assembly for example)

     

     

    #Select the component
    *createmarkpanel comps 1 'Select component:'

    #Get name of component
    set name [hm_getmark comps 1]
    *clearmarkall 1
    set comp_name [hm_getentityvalue comps $name name 1 -byid];


    tk_messageBox -message 'Name of Component: $comp_name'
