How to specify a filter where results are affected by Wildcard search
Environment
Not environment-specific
Question:
I am trying to use the Object Group - View Filter to search for all parts within my model where the profile equals CHS219.1*6.0. But my filter is finding all profiles that contain the number 6? How do I make my filter more exact?
Answer:
The Object Group - View Filter uses an asterisk *, this is known as a Wildcard search. The wildcard feature allows you to increase the breadth of a search. For example, where a value of a part contains a '6', you can use a wildcard to find variants, for example '6', '16' etc. But as we only want to see a specific profile type you can follow these simple instructions to narrow your search.
With your model open, double click the background to bring up the View Properties window. Click Object group.
Click Add row button. Under Property, select Profile from the dropdown menu.
Under Value, click Select from model and select the part within your model that you wish to filter on.
You can now see the Value associated with your chosen part. Place the asterisk * in brackets [*]. Click Modify.
Now your filter is seaching for only those parts where ther profile equals 6, rather than 16, 60 etc.
