add identification selection

[ptm-tm]

add example to identification geometry

[ptm-tm]

mb use folder structure for sorting examples and useful scripts?
another its seems like heap)
this example use selection spaworkbench and hybris shape.

[ptm-tm]

and some note
used method return number but in catvba exist corresponding enum for example

I don't know what you mean here?

Your pycatia imports are in the wrong place again.

Also, you've done a lot of heavy lifting in your script when you could have used the pre-defined enum types.

for example:

pycatia/pycatia/enumeration/enumeration_types.py

Line 1515 in 51503e3

cat_selection_filter = (

pycatia/pycatia/enumeration/enumeration_types.py

Line 1009 in 51503e3

cat_measurable_name = (

# import headers
try:
    caa = catia()
    documents = caa.documents
    document = caa.active_document
except CATIAApplicationException as e:
    print(e.message)
    print('CATIA not started or document not ' +
          'opened or started several CATIA sessions')
    print('Press any key to exit...')
    sys.exit(e.message)
if document.is_part:
    # need to autocomplete
    part_document = Part(document.part.com_object)
    selection = document.selection

    try:
        part_document.update()
    except CATIAApplicationException as e:
        print(e.message)
        print('Part document must be without errors!')
        print('Press any key to exit...')
        sys.exit('Part document must be without errors!')

I'm going to have to think about whether to simplify this or not. It's not that it's wrong but it's not consistent with the other examples.

I'm asking myself:

• why do that here and not on all the other examples?
• Is it beneficial to add this type of checking for the other examples too?
• or perhaps simplify this and have this type of checking as an example in itself.

If anyone else is reading this please feel free to let me know what you think.

sorry my pylint dont know about this)))
im try to get it simple.
some check work well...

PS may be add folder for example : usefull scripts or another example. in catia was cool document: script center)

yes i saw this. but if u have many examples- its not simple for user
If you have several examples which uses several catia workbench etc you cannot scpecify to one workbench (this example)

[ptm-tm]

im formatting code for pycatia standart...

Agreed.

The way I look at it is this. The example should be simple and focus on showing how to use one primary feature / function only. If you need many workbenches to get to that one feature / function so be it. The example will be named according to that concept.

Now, more advanced examples may not fall under this idea. I'm open to ideas on how they should be named / structured / presented but they'll still need to all be collected in the examples folder.

I'll have a think on this ... might be idea me opening a new issue to see what people think.

I've created the following to help you set-up your projects correctly.

#164

Note how the pycatia-git environment does not have pycatia installed from pypi.

If you follow the above, try and run your example(s) in the pycatia-git environment with the pycatia imports at the top of the file. They will not work.

Hopefully, the penny will drop once you follow this. ❓ 😄

they work... but i use some other method ( i change it when you note me what i need 2s env). i will try yours,because
i have some warrnings/error from my pylint)))

my dev folder is
pycatia-dev (env folder)
.Include
.Lib
. pycatia-git-clone
.Scripts

If your examples are running when:

• they live in the pycatia/examples folder
• the pycatia imports are before

##########################################################
# insert syspath to project folder so examples can be run.
# for development purposes.
import os
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath("..\\pycatia"))
##########################################################

You most likely have pycatia installed from pypi.

Pleeeeeease try and understand the significance of sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath("..\\pycatia")).

I can't help anymore.
