Let's consider the following example: an assembly named " Level1. sldasm" containing two configurations ( P020-A and P050-C) that reference a component ( Flange), which itself has configurations ( C1, C2, C3...).

A "CHc screw " is inserted using different sizes ( CHc M6x40 screw and CHc M12x50 screw) depending on the assembly configuration.

 

 

We use " WhereUsed " to search for instances where the " CHc Screw " is used in the " CHc Screw M6x40 " configuration. Here are the results based on the selected options.

 

 

Here, you are asked to search for the " CHc M6x40 screw " only in the active configuration " P020-A" of the assembly (x8).

 

 

The task here is to search for the “ CHc M6x40 screw” in all “P020-A” and “P050-C” configurations of the assembly. The total count of the screw is itemized, so it is listed separately in the “P050-C” configuration (x4) and in the “P020-A” configuration (x8).

 

You can then specify the search level:

 

Here, we are asked to search for the " CHc M6x40 screw " while considering only the first levels of nesting among all configurations of the assembly.

 

 

Here, we are searching for the “CHc M6x40 screw,” taking into account all levels of the screw’s hierarchy within the active configuration: the screw is located in the “level1” assembly, which is itself nested within drawings. This displays the relationship links for the searched-for component as well as the total number of occurrences found.

 

The following result shows the search for the “CHc M6x40 screw,” taking into account all levels of relationship for this screw across all configurations: the screw is found in the “level 1” assembly, which is itself nested within drawings and other assemblies. This display shows the relationship links of the searched-for component as well as the total number of occurrences found.
