Verify if part of a boundary is selected by the user

[hugo_wy]

Hi.

I am having trouble in making a macro that verify if the user select part of a boundary like is shown in the picture.

I know the code that verify if the user selects surfaces:

INT count = 0
FOREACH surf in folder('model') {
$count = $count + number_selected(surf.Components)
}

IF $count == 0 {
MESSAGE INFO "Nao existe nenhuma superficie selecionada."
RETURN
}

But i can´t change it to a selected Boundary.

Can someone help.

IF number_selected(entity("Boundary", "")) <= 0 {
	MESSAGE WARN "Nao existe segmento selecionado."
	MACRO ABORT
}

Hi.

The command "number_selected(entity("Boundary", "")) <= 0" don´t work.

It gives a Macro Error: Can´t evaluate expression

I am working with PowerMill 2015.

The number_selected() function only work on boundaries in pm2017+

Try it with single quotes:

IF number_selected(entity('Boundary', '')) <= 0 {
	MESSAGE WARN "Nao existe segmento selecionado."
	MACRO ABORT
}

Maybe is like you said.

That's odd.  It's working for me in PowerMill 2022.
