This is more API related...For a part in an assembly, if I want to know which other parts are contacting it, what's the best way? I know that I can do an envelope around the part, would that be the best? Any clues..please let me know...it would really help me... Thanks in advanced...

I'm not sure if you are saying that you need an API answer or that you think you do.

Does the Interference Detection function in the Tools dropdown not help you?
Toggling the Treat coincidence as interference option can help show which parts only touch.
