How to automate Body Annotations taking the name of the bodies?

Question

I want to have annotations displaying body names with different colors for all the bodies present in my Model

You can use the following code. This code has defined only 7 colors based on the RGB combination. It only works for StandardMKS and StandardNMM unit systems. If you have any other system, you can append that as an if statement.

unit_str = str(ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.UnitSystem)

if unit_str.StartsWith('StandardMKS'):

    length="m"

if unit_str.StartsWith("StandardNMM"):

    length="mm"

bodies = Model.Geometry.GetChildren(DataModelObjectCategory.Body, True)

r=[255,0,0,255,255,255,0]

g=[255,255,255,0,128,255,120]

b=[0,255,0,255,0,255,255]

a=255

#colors=["Yellow","Cyan","Lime","Pink","Orange","Pale White","Light Blue"]

i=0

for body in bodies:

    label = Graphics.LabelManager.CreateLabel(body)

    label.Note = body.Name

    c=body.GetGeoBody().Centroid

    x=c[0]

    y=c[1]

    z=c[2]

    label.Scoping.XYZ=Point((x,y,z),length)

    label.Color=Ansys.ACT.Common.Graphics.Color(red=r[i], green=g[i], blue=b[i], alpha=a)

    label.ShowAlways=True

    i+=1
