Find dialog box

Find dialog box

You can use this dialog box to search for specified text in shapes and data fields in the active drawing.

Find what

Specifies the text or characters you want to find. You can type or paste text into this field.

Tip: To repeat a previous search, click the down arrow and then click the search on the list.

Special

Displays a list of special characters for which you can search. Clicking a special character on the list adds it to the Find what box.

Search in

Selection

Searches only the current selection.

Current page

Searches only the current page.

All pages

Searches all pages in the open drawing.

Shape text

Searches text stored in text blocks.

Shape data

Searches text stored in shape data.

Shape name

Searches shape names (the name you see under a shape in a stencil).

User-defined cell

Searches text stored in user-defined cells in the ShapeSheet spreadsheet.

Options

Match case

Specifies that all found matches must have the exact combination of uppercase and lowercase letters specified in the Find what box.

Note: Matches the case of letters used in your drawing as they were originally typed, regardless of whether the text was subsequently formatted using Small Caps or All Caps formatting.

Match character width

Specifies that all found matches must have the exact character width specified in the Find what box. For example, the Katakana alphabet can be represented with a narrow character or a wide character.

Find whole words only

Specifies that all found matches must be complete words and not parts of larger words. For example, if you type for in the Find what box, all instances of "for" are found but "forest" is ignored.

Match Kana type

Specifies that all found matches must be either Katakana or Hiragana characters, depending on which one you typed in the Find what box. Clear this check box to find both Katakana and Hiragana characters.

Note: This option applies to Asian text, and is available only when the Kana find and replace feature is enabled. To enable this feature, on the Tools menu, click Options. On the Regional tab, click the Kana find and replace arrow, and click Show.

Found in

Identifies that matching text was found in a text block, or shows the name of the shape, shape data, or user-defined cell in which matching text was found.

Find next

Searches for the next occurrence of the text in the Find what box.
