If the search tool wasn't so cryptic, I would say search tool...

I thing the correct answer -is- search tool...

But don't ask me how to use it for your use case.

I wish I had an intro to using rules for this. I don't see that it can't work.

I've attached a rules schematic, though PTC probably rearranged some of it for Creo.

I think you want to Look for - Component and search for the Attribute where the parameter = the desired value. Since it's an assembly I suspect Look In will also come into play.

Hello Jose,

I have tried to search accordin to your settings and it seems it does not work.

Is that because the parameter is not a String? Is the parameter a Real or an Integer? Then the Type should be changed to match.

Thank you David - it was an integer... T.

Jose should get the credit, I just pointed out the equivalent of a typo.
