How to search for a wire number

[Anonymous]

Sometimes when I am working on drawings done by others I insert a wire number and it says that wire number already exists.  If I am using the project manager and have 50 sheets, what is the quickest way to then find that wire number?  I know you can export wire "labels" via reports but that doesn't give you the sheet number and is only really useful for importing into a marking genius type machine.

Thanks.

Click the surfer command on the Project Tools tab.  Don't select a component to surf.  Instead click over an area in your drawing where there is no component or wire.  You will see a dialog pop-up with 4 possible search fields.  Type the wire number you seek into the wire number field and click OK. The Surfer will return a list that allows you to click and Go To the wire number, wherever it is located in the project.
