"Where-used" for a component part

"Where-used" for a component part

"Where-used" for a component part

(OP)
Does SW have a utility or function that will allow you to list all the assemblies that reference a specific component?

For example: I have an adjustable lever, my part number 35-080.  I'd like to know all of the assembly drawings in which it appears.

I'm using SW 2006 right now.

Thanks,
Dean

RE: "Where-used" for a component part

SW Explorer can do that for you.

RE: "Where-used" for a component part

You can use SolidWorks Explorer, browse for the part you want to look for and use "where used".

Awesome.  Thanks for the quick responses.

I'm a new user of SW, hence the question.
