Teamcenter displays the results of the search in a dialog window and the embedded viewer. To initiate a spatial search, select the structure line to search from and click the Search button . Teamcenter displays the Spatial Search Criteria dialog box for you to define the search parameters. Alternatively, you can drag a search box of the appropriate dimensions on the embedded viewer. For smaller products, you can make nonspatial searches for components using item attributes, Classification parameters, reference designators, or occurrence notes. To initiate a nonspatial search, click the Search button . Teamcenter displays the Nonspatial Search Criteria dialog box for you to define the search parameters.

Tip If your site uses alternate IDs, you can search with them instead of item IDs or item revision IDs. To view the alternate IDs in the structure tree, add the bl_item_altid_list property.
