Search for Feature by name?

I often want to locate a Feature in the Timeline.

I name each Feature. Is there a way to search for a Feature by name?

Thanks for any help.

I've never tried this ( I don,'t think it can be done) , but I also never have found a need for it. Are you utilizing components and component activation to their full potential ?

You can select a feature in the feature in the viewport, right-click and edit it.

 

I do think that it could be a useful feature!

Well I have a use for this. An errors keeps popping up occasionally telling me there is a circular dependency between whatever I'm doing and some mystery feature "Extrude 24". My timeline is on the large side. I do not name my features. I cannot find this Extrude feature.

Should such a look-up functionality be present in Fusion, I might start naming (some of) my features as I can then quickly skip to them on to the timeline.

Right now, I'm working on modifying CAD from an existing project.  Sometimes a feature bugs in a way that it doesn't have an error, but it doesn't form correctly.  I go back and forth to the old CAD to see where features are dropping out, but I have to scroll through the history to find these features.  Text search would be a great addition for these edge cases...

You can search for features by name in the Modify Parameters window.
