This tool allows you to locate your SOLIDWORKS documents using:

  • Through a simple interface by specifying the name or part of the name, the document type, a property value, etc...


 


  • A more comprehensive interface that allows for all combinations of document selection criteria (size, file size, configuration, file type, etc.).


 


  • A database analysis tab that helps identify potential issues in your SOLIDWORKS document databases:



- Orphan parts (parts that are not used anywhere—they have no drawings or parent assemblies).

- Missing dependencies (some documents may have been moved or deleted; some document dependencies point to a missing file).

- Duplicate document. In the SOLIDWORKS design methodology, it is risky to use identical names for different documents; this feature highlights such documents.

- List all the drawings in your research file(s) that refer to [N] 3D documents.


You can access this tool from:

- The Windows Start menu.
