Hello Jamie,

You can try using the below method, there could be a better way to do too.

#set the component ID to search:
set n_compID 18

set lst_assemblyID [hm_entitylist assembly id]
foreach assemblyID $lst_assemblyID {
set lst_componentID [hm_getvalue assembly id=$assemblyID dataname=components];
if { [lsearch $lst_componentID $n_compID] != -1 } {
puts 'Component $n_compID is in Assembly [hm_getvalue assembly id=$assemblyID dataname=name]';
}
}

Hi Jamie,

You can also try with:

*createmark assems 1 'by comp' compid

hm_getmark assems 1

Hi Jamie,

You can try with hm_assemlist ~ which will return the hierarchical structure of assemblies.
