How would one search for all of the components in an assembly that were placed with only 2 references and the 3 reference was assumed (not specifically assigned) ?

I believe there is no way with the search tool, to tell components who are fully placed by sufficient constraints from those where the missing rotational constraint has been added by checkmarking Allow Assumptions. Both will appear as Regenerated. By adding the checkmark,the user practically constraints the component.

With the Toolkit API one may write a function to check the components for being fully constraint.
