Search can find both only if the sensitivity setting is lowered.

On the right there are lines running under the symbol. The image below shows a symbol in two places in a drawing. Lowering the sensitivity allows some variation. For example, center lines running through posts may not be exactly the same, or the symbol that you are searching for may be placed over some other lines. Changing the Sensitivity lets you define how literal the search will be. However, the smaller search rectangle would find both posts.ĭrawings can contain a lot of variation and background noise. The post on the right would not be found because the search rectangle includes too many additional wall lines. The image below shows two different search rectangles around different posts on the same floor. For example, when searching for a post or vertical I-beam on a floor plan, the beam may be alone, next to, or even inside a wall. Creating large rectangles will result in items not being included in the results. Therefore, it’s best to create as small a rectangle around the search area as possible.

VisualSearch considers everything that is included in the search rectangle – including empty white space. The image below shows the Search tab displaying the preview after the search rectangle has been defined. You can select all the results to apply an action such as add bookmark, add hyperlink, add highlight and more.

Drawings contain a large number of symbols, and sometimes you need to hyperlink those symbols to specifications or details.
