hm_getmarkvalue
Returns a list of template/data name value for all entities on a mark.
Syntax
hm_getmarkvalue entity_type mark_id data_name output_type
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query
Description
This command returns a list of template/data name value for all entities on a mark.
If one or more entities on mark_id are not valid for the queried data_name, the command will still complete but will post an error to the message bar. The values returned from this command are the same as those retuned individually by hm_getentityvalue.
The order in which the values are returned is the same as the order of the entities on the mark, which can be obtained using hm_getmark.
