Kevin Krautle Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Forgive me, I am working with 1000's of devices in a single document. Is there a way to search for a device by name/tag or other parameters then locate it on the design view? I know I can dump a device report, but how to find the actual device it on many sheets of drawings is the fun part. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted January 8, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hello @Kevin Krautle, Right clicking on the device row will give you the "Select Item" option, which will select the device. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
Kevin Krautle Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I guess my feature request would be a CMD-F search box 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 28, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi Kevin you can do this with a custom selection script! to find a device on the design layer (not in worksheet). Quote Link to comment
Kevin Krautle Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Good idea, just find it fascinating that vectorworks does not have that built in. A decent search system with some filtering. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted January 28, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yes, like the Spotlight Find and Modify Command only implemented for connectCAD devices, a good idea I will request it. 3 Quote Link to comment
