  • Thank you! I am experimenting with this now.

    Let's say you are a field superintendent at a power plant and you are looking at navisworks and you spot a beam and you need to find the associated drawing.
    You click on the beam in Navisworks and get:


    GENSEC 495 of FRMWORK /014_650_MIL-S-001_BEAMS


    Would then, FIND /name in CE,   become FIND /GENSEC 495 of FRMWORK /014_650_MIL-S-001_BEAMS

    Also I want that beam to be wholly within the volume. Can I add that condition to the search criteria?


    For instance, I can use
    q VSCAN FOR (GENSEC 495 of FRMWORK )
    in a specific drawing VIEW I get a result so I know it's there.
    (I cannot seem to get the entire name , "GENSEC 495 of FRMWORK /014_650_MIL-S-001_BEAMS" to work in vscan)

    but when I use:

    !total = ARRAY()
    var !views coll ALL VIEW
    do !view values !views
     $!view
     var !f FIND /014_650_MIL-S-001_BEAMS CE
     if (!f.eq('FOUND') )then
         !total.append(!view)
     endif
    enddo


    q var !total
