hm_highlightmark elems is not working in HM 2019.

Hypermesh User

Hi,

    hm_highlightmark elems is not working in HM 2019.

Actually, I want to save a elems mark to variable and pass the variable to proc and want to highlight the elements in the selected mark.

But I won't see any elems being highlighted.

 

 

 

 

proc highlightelems { args } {

hm_createmark elems 2 $args
hm_highlightmark elems 2 "h" 0

}

*createmarkpanel elems 1 "Select the elements"
set elmestotest [hm_getmark elems 2]
::highlightelems $elmestotest

Hello,

 

I think your problem is not related to the API hm_highlightmark but because your element's marks are not consitent.

with createmarkpanel, you use mark id 1 but you try to retrieve the selection of mark id 2.

Please try this code:

proc highlightelems { args } {

hm_createmark elems 2 $args
hm_highlightmark elems 2 "h" 0

}

*createmarkpanel elems 1 "Select the elements"
set elmestotest [hm_getmark elems 1]
::highlightelems $elmestotest

 

Thanks and Regards

Julien
