Text String Search (aka command:FIND)

Text String Search (aka command:FIND)

Allow viewers and users of both the AutoCAD Mobile platform and the online viewer to search the drawing for text content. 

For larger drawings this is a feature which is often used in a full AutoCAD (command: FIND) to navigate through a drawing and find the correct area to focus on.

This feature is doubly needed on a mobile platform where succesfully navigating a drawing becomes a lot more important.

Please include FIND in future TrueView releases as well.  

 

We've been an AutoCAD shop for around 6 years but have had to keep BentleyView deployed so our non-CAD users can do a simple text search in a DWG (!)

I needed to download 880MB of TrueViewInstaller an installed 2GB of TrueView an spend hours of research to "find" out, there is not find /text-search-function to be able to locate my patchports in the rooms of a big building. So need to uninstall the 2GB App and spend this time again. A Viewer should support the text-find-functionality!!!

Additionally the Online-Version of viewer.autodesk.com does not support find text in dwg-files (This was my first try.), despite you can select the text-fields an copy the content from the Properties-Panel, but you can not search for it. :[
