Unable to perform search functions in Creo Illustrate 10

I just upgraded to Creo Illustrate 10 and I'm having a hard time searching for parts. Anytime I try to do Ctrl + F to find a part nothing happens! I tried adding the Find Function to my quick access toolbar and its totally greyed out. Any ideas what I could do to fix it?

The find has moved to the bottom of the sBOM/eBOM panels in 10.0 and as such is always available.

For more details see: New Combined Filter & Find for sBOM/eBOM (ptc.com)

We are looking into hooking Ctrl+F up to switch focus to the Find/Filter input box in a feature release.

 

Let us know what you think of the new Find/Filter capabilities.

That seems confusing. It makes no sense to have the find feature be added to the quick access toolbar if its already in place in the UI. But please keep me posted on that future release with CTRl +F, it really messes up me up knowing my usual shortcuts dont work.

 

Personally, I am not a fan of its location. I liked having the ability to move the box wherever I need it to be as I am often working with two screens. The lower left corner location is clunky for me as I am a right handed user. Is there a way to change the location? Or change it back to its popout version?

Thank you for the feedback, it is always good to get comments on relatively new features good or bad. ðŸ˜Š

Currently there is no way to change the location of the find/filter but we will bear your comments in mind for any future enhancements in this area.
