How to create a panel with 10 buttons ??

 

Reference is attached as a file.

OR

Is there any way such that we can open connectors panel and get selected element type (with out going for new panel creation as mentioned above).

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...
