Hi, you can use

set CompList [hm_complist name]

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'
