Designing functional and logical architectures > Reusing standard components from centralized libraries > Find a library object
View search results in the Properties pane
When you view library objects in the Properties pane, the class it belongs to is highlighted in the hierarchy. Two modes are used for updating the classification hierarchy when displaying the search results:
- Click the View in class stored button to display the class in which the item is stored.
- Click the View in class searched button to display the class that you selected as a basis for the search.
You can see the active unit of measurement in the attribute values title bar in the Properties pane using icons that indicate:
- The library object is currently displayed and stored in a metric system of measurement.
- The library object is currently displayed and stored in a nonmetric system of measurement.
- The library object is currently displayed in metric, but was originally stored in a nonmetric measurement system.
- The library object is currently displayed in a nonmetric measurement system, but was originally stored in a metric system.
