ECAD Search Criteria
Search Within —Leave at default All, or select one object type. These objects apply to both Schematics and PCB layout:
• Components
• Nets
• Pins
• Selected
• Highlighted
These objects appear only when searching a PCB, and only if they have a unique identifier, such as Name/Ref Des, Type, Attribute, or Object ID to distinguish one from the other:
• Test Points
• Vias
• Regions
• Mechanical Holes
• Bends
• Routes
• Cutouts
Search By—Narrows the search within the selected Search Within field.
Rule—Narrows the search further by filtering options such as Top or Bottom side for components, or Routed or Unrouted for nets.
Value—Enter alphanumeric values including variables and wildcard characters. The field is blank by default.
