Move from reference to reference
Use the Surfer tool to move from reference to reference across the project drawing
set. A new window opens and the original window closes when Surf is selected
unless you hold the Shift key while running the command.
Start the Surfer
1 Click Project tab Other Tools panel Surfer drop-down Surfer.
2 Select a component tag, catalog number, wire number, or item number on
the current drawing. Or, press Enter to use the Type it to Surf it dialog box
to enter the component tag, catalog number, wire number, or item number.
NOTE You can also select a report table cell containing any of them to surf
on. If the selected cell does not contain any of the surf-able fields, AutoCAD
Electrical looks in the selected row for a surf-able field. If the report is the Wire
From/To or Component Wire List report, it looks for the Wire Number field
first, then a Tag field, and finally a Catalog Number field. If the report is a Bill
of Materials report, it looks for a Catalog Number field first, then the Tag field.
For all other reports, AutoCAD Electrical looks for the Tag field first, then the
Catalog Number field. If a non-surfable cell is selected, it looks for the
component tag, then a wire number, and finally a catalog number.
