Search by appearance?

Any idea how to search by appearance?

Or is this not possible because it can be overridden at so many different levels?

Hi James.  I don't think this is possible, in fact I don't even see Appearance as a searchable property.  It may be for the reason you mentioned or even because a single part can contain multiple appearances.  You CAN search by Material, if that helps at all.  Good luck!

Yeah, I found the material attribute, but the user is looking for a specific file and probably half of our entire vault is mild steel.

Is there no other unique criteria the user can search on?  Date Created, Author etc?

Not enough to narrow it down. 

 

Anyway, he's managed to find it manually so panic over!
