Property to search for

This list allows you to select the property to search for.

Stages of use:

This function is accessible in the search tool, by clicking on

Click the Property column or select the desired property from the drop-down window.

Function: Allows you to do a search from function documents. For example, a Screw function then allows you to select, from the menu, properties specific to screws like head-to-head, diameter, etc. Then fill in the operator, the value being search for, and the type of documents being search for. Then launch the search.
Standard: Allows you to do a search by using properties, such as the description, mass, name, reference, etc. These properties are classified by themes (General, PDM, Material, Sheet metal, etc.). For example, to find all of the sheet metal parts with a thickness that is less than 2mm, Select Sheet metal, then Thickness, select the operator Inferior, and enter the value 2mm. The document type will be a Part document. Then launch the search.

The results will be displayed in the lower part of the search window.

If the message "Too many results: Refine your search criteria" appears, you must:

Modify the criteria by being more precise.
Modify the number of results in the Tools - Options menu. This modification may cause longer search times

To accelerate the search time, being as precise as possible and avoiding ambiguities is advised. A search for "Screw" will be less effective than a search for "Hexagon head screw"
If you know that the part is in such-and-such project, then do not search in all the projects.
It is possible to reduce the number of results in the Tools - Options menu.
