Find Pattern Numbers (CIDs)

There are a variety of ways that you can look up pattern numbers (also referred to as CIDs) on fabrication parts.

For example, you may need to search by

• CID number
• all or part of the text description or keyword associated with a part
• part manufacturer or owner

The following table lists and describes the search methods that can be used in the Autodesk Fabrication products.
