Learn how you can filter the model elements detailed as single parts and main parts.
To filter model elements detailed as single parts and main parts:
- In the Home tab
Project panel, select
(Search Filter) from the drop-down menu.
- In the Search and Mark Objects dialog Behavior tab, under Created drawings check the boxes for Has Single part drawing and/or Has Assembly drawing.
- The model elements for which single part or assembly drawings were created will be highlighted in the model according to the search filter options.
Note: Select the elements on which you want to apply these filters in the Objects tab of the Search and Mark Objects dialog.
- Check the first box for the criteria to be taken into account by the search filter.
- Check the third box to display the elements with that specific property (e.g. having a single part drawing). Uncheck the third box to display the elements which do NOT have that specific property.
- If you check the second box (the "Not" checkbox), it will negate the sense of the third box.
For example, in order to highlight the elements that have a single part drawing created, you should check the first and third boxes, corresponding to the Has Single Part drawing option. To show the elements that do not have a single part drawing created, only check the first box.
In a similar way, use the Has Assembly drawing search filter option to highlight the main parts of assemblies which have or do not have an assembly drawing created. Only the elements that are main parts of detailed assemblies will be highlighted, but the entire assembly can be easily highlighted after that, by using the "Select marked objects" and "Display objects connected in shop" commands from the Selection category in the Advance Steel Tool Palette.
