how to get assem name of a component

Hello Jamie,

You can try using the below method, there could be a better way to do too. 
 

#set the component ID to search:
set n_compID 18

set lst_assemblyID [hm_entitylist assembly id]
foreach assemblyID $lst_assemblyID {
    set lst_componentID [hm_getvalue assembly id=$assemblyID dataname=components];
    if { [lsearch $lst_componentID $n_compID] != -1 } {
        puts 'Component $n_compID is in Assembly [hm_getvalue assembly id=$assemblyID dataname=name]';
    } 
}

Hi Jamie,

You can also try with:

/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' /> George, it's the shortest way. I thought it would return parent and grandparent... assems of a comp

Hi Jamie,

You can also try with:

 

*createmark assems 1 'by comp' compid

 

hm_getmark assems 1

 hi George,

this is returning the parent assembly name.

but i need to return the sub asssembly

Hi Jamie,

You can try with hm_assemlist ~ which will return the hierarchical structure of assemblies.
