HyperWorks Tcl Query

Checks if connectors are too close to an edge.

It returns an array of data with {connector_id {comp_id element_id distance}}. The array is empty if all connectors are ok.

entity_type1: Must be set to connectors.
mark_id1: The ID of the mark containing the connectors to check. Valid values are 1 and 2.
entity_type2: Must be set to comps.
mark_id2: The ID of the mark containing the components to check. Valid values are 1 and 2.
distance: The minimum distance to the edge.
feature_angle: The feature angle to consider.
edge_option: 0 - Free edges; 1 - Both edges; 2 - Feature edges
auto-fix: 0 - Do not auto fix bad connectors; 1 - Auto fix bad connectors

To check all connectors against comps 2 and 3, using a distance of 3.0:

*createmark connectors 1 all
*createmark comps 2 2 3
hm_ce_tooclosetoedgecheck connectors 1 comps 2 3.0 0.3 0 0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
