How can I retrieve the element ID as shown in the entity editor via *createmark

Hello,

I have a model where the same element ID is used for structural elements (Cquad) and cweld elements. I want to retrieve the element IDs of all cwelds in the model in tcl, so I used
*createmark elem 2 "by config type" 0 mass CWELD
But now I retrieve other IDs than the ones visible in the entity editor for the cwelds. How can I get to those ID numbers instead of the internal ones in my tcl script.

Best regards

Isabella
