Identify parts in a parts list


When you edit a parts list directly, an orange edit frame appears at the top-left corner of the table. You can use the commands on the shortcut menu to identify and locate parts in the drawing view that match the parts list.

If an image of the model is not available, such as when the draft document is opened using the option, Inactivate drawing views for review, then the thumbnail window is blank.
