Chapter 10. Finding
Finding is a quick and powerful way of selecting items into the current selection based on items'
properties. These "searches" can then be saved (see Section 9.3.1, “ Saving Selection and Search Sets
”) and re-run in later sessions.
You can also find text inside comments using the Find Comments functionality.
10.1. Properties
The Properties control bar shows all the properties of a selected item. Properties are categorized into
categories such as Item and Material and this control bar has a tab for each property category of the
selected item. Whenever a single item is selected, this dialog will be updated to show the properties of
that item.
Note
If more than one item is selected the Properties bar will only show the number of items selected
and won't show any property information.
The Properties control bar looks like this:
To activate it, click on the Properties button on the Workspace toolbar, or go to View, Control
Bars, Properties.
Hyperlinks are also classed as a property category and so can be added and edited from this control bar
using the context menu. See Section 16.4, “ Hyperlinks ” for more details on hyperlinks.
JetStream will also convert many different CAD application object properties, such as those from
Architectural Desktop™ or MicroStation TriForma™.
