Do what do you want in interactive mode. Then have a look at file 'command.tcl'. You'll found the command for your script.

and where can I find 'command.tcl'

Is it available for hyperview??

Sorry, only for Hypermesh.

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
