reading node grid comments

Altair Forum User

hi,

I need to mark all the nodes with comment. Iam using  hm_getentityvalue for finding the comments. For a biw it taking almost 2.5 mins to read.Is their any other method so that I can reduce the time taken.

Hi, it costs much time to loop through nodes and filter which is commented. looping by tcl need to be avoid always. instead, let hm C code do that (much faster):

*createmark nodes 1 'equal to value' \$COMMENT_OPTION 2

=> will select all nodes that has comment option by 'Show in menu/export'
