    So you can use *createmark elems 1 'by comp id' $FirstCompId

    and then use *appendmark elems 1 'by adjacent' to find adjacent elems => get comp ids of those adjacents elems

    Hi Tinh,

    i am getting only rigid link component here ...may be because 2 or more comps are connected by rigid link...

    i want to get that comps adjacent to selected one , connected by rigid links...

    selected and adjacent have gap in between....

    how can i resolve this?

    Thanks

    Hi

    maybe, find adjacent elems of each rigidlink and then get their comps

    then using lsort -unique to simplify the list
