Find Tool Asterisk Not Working as Expected. How to use the Find tool?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0

I want to understand how to use the Find tool. If I look for Curve Features and leave an asterisk in the Value field in the Criteria section, the list shows a lot curves found in the model, presumably all of them. It looks like all or most of the curves start with F, like F103(BASE_CIRCLES). But if I type F* in the Value field, zero results appear.

I want to understand how this makes sense. Because I want to understand how to use the Find tool effectively. I knew I was trying to find F103, but I didn't know the full name was F103(BASE_CIRCLES). How am I suppose to use the Find tool to find it if the asterisk doesn't work how it normally does? Am I suppose to read through the list of all curves until I find the one I'm looking for? Surely that isn't the case.

Hi,

please next time upload your test model and describe what you need to find using text and pictures.

  • Name is equal to *
    • Creo finds datum features, only, because they were assigned a custom Name
    • all other features were assigned a default name (Extrude, Round, ...)
    • Fxxx is notation of feature Number (this is not Name)

  • Name is equal to *
    • Creo finds datum features and sketched curves, because they were assigned a custom Name

  • this shows how to use feature Number when searching
