Chapter 14. 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 Saving Selection and Search Sets ) and re-run in
later sessions.
You can also find text inside comments using the Find Comments functionality.
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 control bar 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 the Properties button on the Workspace toolbar, or on the View menu, click
Control Bars > Properties.
Hyperlinks are also classed as a property category and so can be added and edited from this control bar
using the shortcut menu. See Hyperlinks for more details on hyperlinks.
