Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part

Publishes every hybrid shape inside a selected geometric set using the shape name as the publication name. Shapes that are already published are skipped automatically. Useful for exposing geometry for use in product context or skeleton models.

The reference path is built automatically from the part name and the full geometric set path, supporting both top-level and nested geometric sets.

1. Open a CATPart document containing a geometric set with hybrid shapes
2. Run the script
3. Select the geometric set to publish — click OK when done
4. All shapes in the set are published under their own names

Publications are added to the part under the shape's own name. A summary is printed to the console:

 Publishing 3 shape(s) from 'Skeleton'
 Published: PT_Origin
 Skipped (already published): PT_Ref
 Published: Curve_Spine
 Completed - 2 shape(s) published, 1 skipped

• Publication names are taken directly from the shape name — if two shapes share a name only the first will be published and the second will error
• Shapes that already have a publication with the same name are silently skipped
• Works correctly with nested geometric sets — the full path is resolved automatically
• If a publication fails, the error is printed to the console and the script continues to the next shape
• If part.name includes the .CATPart extension and publications fail with a reference error, strip the extension from the part_name line in the script
