Wood moldings list

The hundreds of moldings in the VW library are in a scrolling list. But it takes forever to scroll down to the one I need. Is there a way to select it by number, or to display the whole list in an array on a 24x36 sheet?

If you know the code for the particular moulding you want ('CB1120' or whatever) you can search for it in the search box.

Or select the moulding symbols you use most often + save them in a Favorites file to make them quicker + easier to access the next time. Like you say there are hundreds of them in the Libraries but I know for me at least I'm only ever interested in 3 or 4 of them.

Thanks Tom. I had never searched for Resources before. I didn't know I could. And I didn't need to, since most lists are reasonably short. But the search didn't find #8163, which I found on a reference set of drawings. So, I just gave-up and made my own copy of the molding in the old drawing.

 

I could easily find the desired molding by shape, if the moldings were spread-out on a page instead of a long linear scroll box. That's how I used to find them in the good old days, in a paper catalog.Without knowing the number in advance.
