Extract node coordinate by TCL

Dear All,

I would like to extract the node coordinate of a selected node using tcl.

In the past i was using the following:

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 "select node"

set node1 [ hm_getmark nodes 1 ]

set xnode [ hm_getentityvalue NODES $node1creation "x" 0 ]

set ynode [ hm_getentityvalue NODES $node1creation "y" 0 ]

set znode [ hm_getentityvalue NODES $node1creation "z" 0 ]

with new release the hm_getentityvalue has been changed to hm_getvalue but seems that I can not extract the X, Y, Z coordinate.

I was thinking to change the previous to:

set node1 [ hm_getmark nodes 1 ]

set xnode [ hm_getvalue NODES $node1 "x" 0 ]

set ynode [ hm_getvalue NODES $node1 "y" 0 ]

set znode [ hm_getvalue NODES $node1 "z" 0 ]

but it doens't work.

Can someone help me, please?

Thanks a lot,
