Do you mean, you want to popup a panel to select something to continue your script?

example:

#you're doing something

#you need to input connector type:

set SelectedConnector [...] ;# popup a panel to select connector type

#continue process with selected connector...

Are you writing a script like above?

Hi,

There a several ways, you can create your own panel by hm_framework, then push it and wait for its return.

But I used an available hypermesh panel to do that /emoticons/default_cool.png' title='B)' />, you can try using this proc:

 proc hm_callmenupanel args {     set itemlist [lsort -unique $args]     #we will use plots, because they can be deleted without affect to our data     *entityhighlighting 0     *createmark plots 1 all     if {[hm_marklength plots 1]} {*deletemark plots 1}     hm_blockredraw 1     foreach item $itemlist {         *xyplotcreate $item ''         *displaycollectorwithfilter plots off $item 1 1     }     hm_blockredraw 0     set selected [hm_callcollectorpanel plots]     *createmark plots 1 all     if {[hm_marklength plots 1]} {*deletemark plots 1}     *entityhighlighting 1     set selected }

Using it in your script like this:

#need to input connector type:

set SelectedConnector [ hm_callmenupanel 'acm (shellgap+coating)' 'acm (general)' 'penta (mig)' 'other connector types...' ]

#continue process with selected connector...
