Hello all,

Is there any journal or macro to search particular component or part in big assy file and is it possible to identify the the component or part file under which assy file it is in.

Ex: the component or part name is c0112 on this name I have to search in a big assy file and locate the same file in assembly navigator.

Does this need to be part of a journal?

In interactive NX, you can right click in the white space of the assembly navigator (along the left edge) and use the "find component" command. Or, for more options, use Menu -> assemblies -> context control -> find components. Make sure the "assemblies" application is activated, or you won't have access to the command.

If this must be done as part of a journal, you should have a look at this thread:

It contains some code to find the component with the given name (Function FindComponent).
