Question

Search tool not working correctly in Assembly mode

I did a shallow assembly cut (.002") using text of our "PART_MARKING" parameter to mark the part.  As I usually do at the part level, I tried to use the search tool to find all the "surfaces" of that "feature" or "feature id" so I could easily change the color of all the surfaces to black to make the marking visible.  Imagine my surprise when it completely failed to find any of the surfaces, whether I tried by "feature" or "feature id".  Has anyone else noticed this bug?  Is there a Pro/WORKAROUND?

Does changing the model accuracy make any difference?

Haven't tried, but it should have picked up the big flat surface at least.  I have absolute accuracy, set at .0001, and it works fine for the same exact cut at the part level, it just refuses to work at the assembly level as an assembly cut.  Weird....

 

The workaround, which is actually easier, with I was able to use the "IntentSrf" and it grabbed them all.  But I still think it's a bug.
