I realise this is an old thread, but it's had a lot of views and I have a solution that may benefit future users of HyperView:
proc isolate_comp { comp_id } {
# this procedure masks all of the model elements before displaying only the specified component
# begin automatic handle tracking
hwi OpenStack
set ui [expr rand()];
# get handles down to model and view level
hwi GetSessionHandle my_session$ui
my_session$ui GetProjectHandle my_project$ui
my_project$ui GetPageHandle my_page$ui [my_project$ui GetActivePage]
my_page$ui GetWindowHandle my_window$ui [my_page$ui GetActiveWindow]
my_window$ui GetClientHandle my_client$ui
my_window$ui GetViewControlHandle my_view$ui
my_client$ui GetModelHandle my_model$ui [my_client$ui GetActiveModel]
# mask all parts
my_model$ui MaskAll part
# create a temporary selection set of component type, give it a unique label and make sure that it's empty to begin with
my_model$ui GetSelectionSetHandle ssh$ui [my_model$ui AddSelectionSet component]
ssh$ui SetLabel "SelectionSet$ui"
ssh$ui Clear
# making the select mode "all" allows hidden entities to be selected
ssh$ui SetSelectMode all
# add the specified component id to the selection set
ssh$ui Add "component $comp_id"
# unmask selected set, fit the view and redraw
set tempsetnum [ssh$ui GetID]
my_model$ui UnMask $tempsetnum
my_view$ui Fit
my_page$ui Draw
# remove the temporary selection set, leaving the component elements displayed
my_model$ui RemoveSelectionSet [ssh$ui GetID]
# release handles
ssh$ui ReleaseHandle
my_model$ui ReleaseHandle
my_view$ui ReleaseHandle
my_client$ui ReleaseHandle
my_window$ui ReleaseHandle
my_page$ui ReleaseHandle
my_project$ui ReleaseHandle
my_session$ui ReleaseHandle
hwi CloseStack
}
# this is the line to set the component id number that will be isolated:
set component_id_number 2
# this is the line to call the procedure that will isolate the specified component:
isolate_comp $component_id_number
Do what do you want in interactive mode. Then have a look at file 'command.tcl'. You'll found the command for your script.
