Hi

I'm trying to get the property ID (PSHELL ID) from the manually selected elements and write it to *.txt file. Can anyone suggest a command? I did not find a suitable one in the help.

    Matrix Browser seems like a good option for doing this.

    The following may help:

    hi there are several ways... pick your concerned elems: *createmarkpanel elems 1 "pick it!" get the elems ids set eids [hm_getmark elems 1] get there pid: foreach eid $eids { set pid [hm_getentityvalue elems $eid component.property.id 0] #maybe pshell id is different, as it is a solver attribute: set psid [hm_getsolverid props $pid] puts "eid=$eid psid=$psid" }

    Yes!  This would be the scripting approach.  I would suggest using hm_getvalue rather than hm_getentityvalue though.

    hm_getvalue elem id=$eid dataname=propertyid
