Search for Drawings or Items
The Drawing Search page allows you to find where drawings or items are used in COSMO Product Data Management. This can be useful for general searching purposes or to access the drawing replacement/deletion functionality.
You can access the Drawing Search page in two ways:
- On the Drawing Card or Drawings page by choosing the Search action to open the page filtered by the drawing with related entries displayed.
- From Tell Me by choosing the
icon, entering Drawing Search, and then choosing the related link. This will open the Drawing Search page without any filters.
Drawing Search Page
In the Drawing Search page, both the related entries and number count are displayed (either automatically from the drawing or manually by entering information and then choosing the Find action). You can open a list of each entry by choosing the Show Related Entries actions or by choosing the value in the No. of Entries field.
Whether the search is based on drawings or items is determined by the Search for... field at the top of the page. Depending on the selection, different fields and functions are available.
The fields in the top of this page are described in the following table. If the page was opened from a Drawing Card, the fields are pre-populated.
