Reply To: How to add annotations or probes using python in Mechanical 2020 version?

[hallinenjesse]

It seems my other reply disappeared, so here it is again.

 

defResult = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].Solution.Children[1]

ds=ExtAPI.DataModel.InternalObject["ds"]

labelID=ds.Graphics.AddLabel(defResult.ObjectId, 520, "DeformResult", 0.024, 0.004136, 0.0082857, 0x0000ff)

# Arguments are: ObjectID, classID(520 for result), X_coor, Y_coor, Z_coor, color

# This just creates an annotation probe with text "DeformResult" not the value of a result at that location

ExtAPI.Graphics.Redraw()

 

The code above worked pretty well for our use case, because we only needed labels with some custom text, but now I got asked if we can edit those labels some more.

So basically, is it possible to:

1. Detect which label was clicked and get its labelID?
2. Remove the line that connects the label and the Point?
3. Temporary hide some of the labels?

I already checked the source code but couldn't find anything.
