Run the guided component search

When running the guided component search, there are two types of search that you can use. You have a component and want to build onto this component in one direction only. You have a component with multiple connection points and want to fulfill these simultaneously. To perform this type of search, all connection points must have the same shape, same connection type, and same parent component.

Procedure Select the desired connection point of the component in the assembly structure for which you want to find a matching component. Right-click and choose Guided Component Search, or click the Guided Component Search button on the toolbar. The system displays the Classification Search Dialog, but only with components containing connection points that match the connection point selected in the assembly structure. The displayed hierarchy contains only the classes and parent classes of these components. Search the hierarchy and select the desired component. You can narrow the search by entering search criteria in the Search pane. The system adds the component to the structure.
