Find Elements in Workset

[kwillems]

Our model has a large number of worksets (too many, if you ask me...).  I want to reduce them to a more reasonable level, however, I want to reassign elements to appropriate worksets.

For some worksets, it's not clear what the elements are, just that they exist.  How can I find the elements in a given workset?

Thanks!

You can control it by color of the Worksets:

• from View Control Bar , activate Worksharing:Display Worksets> Worksets.
• Worksharing Display Settings > Worksets -edit Colors here -and Apply
• you can also control Owners, Status, Model updates...

Thank you, Constantin. I will give that a try.

Hi, Constantin -

I looked into the interesting technique you showed above - thank you, that had not been on my radar.

However, this only shows elements in a particular view.  I am looking for a way to identify the elements in the project.  We have some worksets which are clearly not empty, as I get the "Elements...should be: Moved to:" message when I try to delete them.  Unfortunately, I am so far unable to find these elements in the views I've looked at (we have hundreds of model views...). I have no idea what types of elements they are, or in what sort of view they would show.

So far, I have been using brute force: open various types of views, show all elements and annotations, hide all worksets, and then show one workset at a time. Which is very inefficient and so far only partially successful.

Thanks again - I appreciate your time.

You could temporarily isolate a Workset (project-wide) by closing all of the others, under the Worksets dailog.
