Suppose I have an object with multiple tags I want to select by condition (in the editor) how do I select them ?
I'm writing a simple snippet to do so :
def main() : doc = documents.GetActiveDocument() obj = doc.GetActiveObject(); # Get Active Object print obj for t in obj.GetTags() : if (t.GetType() == 5673) : # 5673 = SelectionTag if "ABCD" in t[c4d.ID_BASELIST_NAME] : pass # Add code to select the tag in the editor if __name__=='__main__': main()I left a pass where I don't know how to proceed.

Heya!
SetActiveTag() is what you're looking for :)
If you want to deselect all other tags first, you can doc.SetActiveTag(None), and then doc.SetActiveTag(tag, c4d.SELECTION_ADD) after that.
So in the end it might look like:
def main() : doc = documents.GetActiveDocument() obj = doc.GetActiveObject(); # Get Active Object print obj doc.SetActiveTag(None) #doc.SetActiveObject(None), if you like for t in obj.GetTags() : if (t.GetType() == 5673) : # 5673 = SelectionTag if "ABCD" in t[c4d.ID_BASELIST_NAME] : doc.SetActiveTag(t, c4d.SELECTION_ADD) if __name__=='__main__': main()
