Search Tab
Search in 3D, Drawings, Docs and IntelliPid
UniversalPlantViewer’s search function is uniquely designed to accommodate both 3D and 2D Drawings, as well as Documents and IntelliPid:
Results are organized by the attributes where the string was located. The numbers following the attributes indicate the count of matched groups in grey and the affected P&IDs in light blue. Upon expanding an attribute, the matched groups are displayed as a list, with the corresponding P&ID name highlighted in light blue.
The search function delivers two different types of results:
|
Ensure there’s enough room for displaying your search results by dragging the bar under the search box downward.
Otherwise, only “Select from search results” may be visible.
Wildcards
You can add wildcards to the start or end of your search term:
“?” stands for any single character or number
“*” stands for any number of characters or numbers (“a*” matches a, abc, a-12, …)
With “>, <, =, => and =<” you can search for attributes that start with a number. All numbers after text strings will be ignored.
Search Tools
Use the search tools under your search results for easier identification and selection of objects.
