Finding objects in the Model Explorer

You can locate any model object in the Model Explorer using the Find in Model Explorer feature. For example, to find:

• A diagram in the Model Explorer - Right-click the diagram background and select Edit →Find in Model Explorer.
• An object in the Model Explorer from its symbol - Right-click the symbol in the diagram and select Edit →Find in Model Explorer.
• An object in the Model Explorer from its property sheet - Open an object property sheet and select Find in Model Explorer from the dropdown menu at the bottom-left corner.
• An object in the Model Explorer from the Modeling Result List - Right-click the object in the list and select Find in Model Explorer.

In each case,, the parents of the object in the Model Explorer are automatically expanded and the found object is selected, to provide you with a hierarchical view of the contents of your project.

Note that you cannot find Repository objects in the Model Explorer as they are not visible.
