How to identify selected line is straight or Curve?
Hello Team,
I have used below function to select line.
*createmarkpanel lines 1 'Select line'the
set WCL [hm_getmark lines 1]
*clearmark lines 1
After selection, I need to check whether selected line is straight or not.
Suggestion please how to proceed.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Bhavik
You can try the following steps :
1. If a line is straight , the a center won't be created of this line type. In Hypermesh try to create a center node using straight line as an input and it would throw an error.
2. In Tcl scripting, you can find the command that finds center node for an arc/circle from reference guide . The commands are : *createlist nodes 1 1 2
*linecreatefromnodes 1 0 150 5 179
3. You can introduce an error handling using a catch command to check if the input line given as an argument to this command causes an error or not .
*createlist nodes 1 1 2
curve_list = [list]
straight_line_list = [list]
if ([catch {*linecreatefromnodes 1 0 150 5 179 }] == 1) {
lappend straight_line_list $line_id # Find line id in your code
# Line is straight
} else {
#Line is a curve
lappend curve_list $line_id # Find line id in your code
}
