Find part in a assembly.
Find part in a assembly.
(OP)
Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to find a (small) part in a large assembly, other then use "Show Only"
The command "Find In Navigator" shows where the part is in the assembly navigator when you select a part in the moddeling area.
But i want to search in the other direction.
I want to select a part in the Assembly Navigator and that part then is shown in the moddeling area. (by zooming in, highlighting it, blinking...... )
I hope someone has a solution for me.

SHOW ONLY and then FIT .I am aware of this only.
Will try to find out if there is any other option too.

Show degrees of freedom does not work. It gives only the text back in top of the screen "there are no degrees of freedom"
And F6 ask me to select the area to zoom in.
And show only is what i don't want. That is not working nice in a big assembly. But indeed, it's for me too the only way i know now.

I use this function a lot when running interference checks. Quite often, some of the resulting interferences are tiny and difficult to see at a glance. Highlighting them in the part navigator and using fit view to selection does the trick.

Right click in the assembly navigator tree FIND SELECTED COMPONENT and then select the component from the screen ...the assembly structure in the navigator will automatically fit itself to the screen even if the list of compoennts is too big to be contained in the navigator.

Then the tree in assembly navigator will expand to that part.

Note that you can do it manually today by just switching into your favorite 'See-Thru' mode before or after selecting the Work Part.
