Find model item

You can use Find to quickly find objects, connections, free-form texts, and model attributes in a model.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl + F. The Find box is enabled in the status bar. The background color in the box temporarily turns to yellow to highlight the box.

  2. Enter the term you want to find.

  3. To search down, click Search down Next. Alternatively, press F3 or the Enter key.

    If you want to find a previous hit in the search, click Search up Back or press Shift + F3.

If the search term is found, the visible model section is moved towards the item if it is not yet located in the visible area. The term is highlighted in yellow in the modeling area and, if the item has attributes, in the Attributes tab under Properties. If the Attributes tab and/or the attribute row are hidden, they are automatically opened. If the Model overview bar of the navigation is open, the border of the visible model section is also moved automatically.
If the search term is not found in the model, the Find box is temporarily colored red.
