Hello,
I'm trying to get the ID of some(selected properties) however I'm getting an empty list back.

I`m trying to achieve this using the GetEntityCardValues function.

Already succeded with getting the T(thicknesses) of given properties, example:
card_value1 = "T"

for pid in properties:
thickness_list.append(base.GetEntityCardValues(dec k, pid, card_value1))

returns: [{'T': 2.0}, {'T': 5.0}, {'T': 4.0}, {'T': 4.0}, {'T': 4.0}, {'T': 4.0}]

however when I try to get IDs like :
card_id = "__id__"
(or card_id = "ID")

and
for pid in properties:
id_list.append(base.GetEntityCardValues(deck, pid,card_id))

I get back this :

[{}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}]

Any ideas why this happens?
Maybe solutions? thanks

Dear mugiwara,

If my understanding is right, you are trying to get the ID of collected properties. For that you have to pass correct key in the parameter. Always try to use the key same as from the edit card. ID key will be differ based on the deck you defined.

Else you can directly get the ID of the property by using "property._id" command. This command is common for all the decks. So you can try this.

try this code to get the ID of collected properties.

def test():
id_list = []
Pids = base.CollectEntities(constants.NASTRAN, None, "__PROPERTIES__", True)
for pid in Pids:
id_list.append(pid._id)
print(id_list)
test()
