Surf Dialog Box

Surfs to related references of an item you select.

Find
 Command entry:  AESURF

When surfing on a table inserted by the Terminal Strip Editor, you can select the title cell to surf on the Tagstrip value even if the Tagstrip is not included in the title. If you select a cell that is not surfable (such as the Tag, Catalog, or Wire Number cell) the Tagstrip value is surfed for the terminal strip.

Note: Your dialog box can differ depending on whether you are moving from reference to reference across the project drawing set or looking for problems related to wire signal source or destination codes.

When surfing for source or destination signals, the Surf dialog box displays the type (Src or Dst), sheet/reference value and description.
