    Hi Jouher,

     

    You can get the location (coordinates) of the connector by hm_ce_detailget command as below: 

     hm_ce_detailget id tripearray ce_cords

     

    Linked component IDs are obtained as: 

     hm_ce_getlinkedentities id comps

    Regards,

    *createmark connectors 1 all
    set ce_list [ hm_getmark connectors 1];


    puts $fp 'connector id,connector coordinates,linked comps id'

    foreach CE_L $ce_list {
