Presentation + Find Tweaks Part is Used in

MechMachineMan
Advisor

With this new presentation system, in a snapshot, is there any way to find out what tweaks a part is used in?

 

In the old ipn system you used to be able to change the browser pane to one that would point this out, but now it seems there is nothing.

 

Looking for some way to do this for when I add parts in after the fact.

 

 

 

* I already understand it is easy enough if the tweak is visible, but if it is invisible, then how?

Thanks for the links!

 

Checked out the first one. Does seem to have what I want in it - find tweak based off of part to add more parts to the tweak.

 

Haven't made it to the second one.

 

I'm finding the fact that you can't change View reps (ie from my broken-link snapshot to a storyboard associative snap) is seeming quite limiting.

 

Also annoying how you can't even automatically find the part in the storyboard from the browser/graphics window...
