3. To search for the objects referenced by an intent object, use one of the following combinations for Look for and Look by. The items that satisfy the specified rule and criteria are listed under items found in the Search Tool:1 dialog box only after you click Find Now.
Look for | Look by | items found |
Datum | Intent Datum | Lists all the datums referenced by the intent datums in the model |
Datum plane | Intent Datum Plane | Lists all the planes referenced by the intent datum Planes in the model |
Axis | Intent Datum Axis | Lists all the axes referenced by the intent datum axes satisfying the specified rule and criteria. |
Point | Intent Datum Point | Lists all the points referenced by the intent datum points in the model |
Coordinate System | Intent Datum Csys | Lists all the coordinate systems referenced by the intent datum csys’ in the model |
Edge | Intent Chain | Lists all the edges in the model referenced by intent chains |
Surface | Intent Surface | Lists all the surfaces in the model referenced by intent surfaces |

Quilt | Intent Chain | Lists all the quilts in the model referenced by intent chains |
4. Under Rule, set a rule to search for objects referenced by the intent objects or build a query.
| You can use the Name rule to search for the intent objects, that is, search by intent name. The intent name is unique and is used to define the intent object and how Creo Parametric features reference the intent object. The intent name is not the same as the name of the datum reference feature that defines it. |
5. Under Criteria, specify the criteria to search for the required intent object.
6. Click Find Now. The items are listed under items found in the Search Tool:1 dialog box. The results are also highlighted in the graphics window.
