Sets options for searching for and replacing drawing items. This tab is on the Find and Replace Dialog.

Find what

Lists search criteria, and allows you to enter new search criteria or select from a list of the five most recently used criteria. The items listed above the dashed line in the list are used to set new search criteria by searching using the Catalog Item, Filter, or Inconsistency options. Selecting the Catalog Item option opens the Select Catalog Item dialog. Selecting the Filter option opens the Select Filter dialog. Because you cannot replace an inconsistency, if you select the Inconsistency option from the Find what list, the Replace with option is not available.

Replace with

Allows you to enter a new replacement item or select a replacement item from a list of the five most recently used items, which are listed below the dashed line. You can define a new replacement item by selecting Browse and picking a catalog item from the Select Catalog Item Dialog.

Search in

Defines the scope of the search. You can search the active drawing or just the contents of the active window. If the Active Window option is selected, the Scroll mode feature is not available. If the Active Drawing option is selected, the Scroll mode feature is automatically set to Zoom, and you can select a preferred scroll mode.

Scroll mode

Defines how the active view should be changed when a drawing item is found. If you select Zoom, the active view is zoomed to a multiple of the range of the found drawing item. If you select Pan, the active view is shifted without changing the view scale so that the center of the drawing item is in the center of the view. If Scroll Mode feature is turned off, then the active view is left unchanged.

Direction

Specifies the direction of the search. Because drawing objects are stored linearly in the database, using either Next or Previous moves forward or backward through the document.

Find

Initiates a search for a single item that is part of the specified search scope. Each time you select Find, the software searches for and highlights the next drawing item that matches the defined search criteria in the defined direction. Each time an item is found that matches the Find what criteria, the active view is changed based on the Scroll mode setting.

Replace

Replaces the item selected when you selected Find. The Replace button is available only when the item found can be replaced by the item defined in the Replace with box. Each time you select Replace, the located item is replaced, and the Find command continues based on the Direction setting. As each drawing item is found, the active view is updated based on the Scroll mode setting.

Replace All

Replaces all items that match the Find what criteria with the item defined in the Replace with box without prompting you. After all of the replacements are completed, the software reports the number of matches found and the number of replacements that were made. The active view is also updated depending on the Scroll mode setting.
