Using Windchill 9.1 to find all drawings that use a specific symbol.

[mdebower]

I have been asked if there is a way for Windchill to find all drawings that use a specific symbol in them. This seems on the surface like something Windchill should be able to whip right out, but can it?

Drawings: 8,448
Symbol: critical-safety.sym

Where Used on the symbol shows nothing.
Related CAD Objects shows nothing.

I know the find function in Pro/E will search individual drawings for it, but I don't really want to do that by hand for all 8,000+ drawings.

May be best to search for specific text inside files in the operating system - where all the drawings are vaulted. Pro/E drawings are just text files.

Mike,

Thanks for the advice. I did just that, but unfortunately there is a header area that is plain text, but the majority of the file is either encyrpted or binary. At least in Wildfire 4.0 it is.
