An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard character to increase the number objects that match the entered text. The following rules apply:
• Parts are highlighted that have zero or more characters in place of the wildcard in the text string.
• Wildcard characters can be used before, in the middle, and after the search string.
• Wildcard characters are assumed before and after the text string when no wildcard characters are explicitly entered.
• When wildcard characters are explicitly entered, wildcard characters before and after the string are not assumed.

The structure is expanded to reveal the previous or next matching object even though it may be multiple levels deep in the structure. Expansion stops when a matching object is found. Continue searching by clicking the up or down arrow. The find operation will locate matches to all associated objects displayed in the structure. For example, matches will be found for documents associated to parts. A message is displayed to the right of the Find in Structure field when the top or bottom of the structure is reached. |
To more quickly find objects in a large structure, expand the structure to the approximate location of the object, select the object row in the structure where you want the search to start, enter a text string in the Find in Structure field, and click the find icon. The highlighted row will be used as the starting point to find the previous or next matching object. |
Only those branches of the structure having rows matching the entered text string are expanded. The find operation will locate matches for all associated object types displayed in the structure. For example, matches will be found for documents associated to parts within a part structure. A message is displayed to the right of the Find all and select icon showing the total number of structure rows containing matches. |
Use the selected structure rows and the right-click menu to perform operations such as Check Out or Add to Baseline. |
