Where Used

You can list all the places where a specified part or assembly is used.

Set the search criteria on the References/Where Used tab in the Options dialog box. The Where Used function does not use Microsoft Windows Desktop Search as its search engine.

To find where a document is used:

Select the document in the File Explorer tab in the left pane.
Select the Where Used tab in right pane.
Information about referenced documents appears in the following columns:
- Document. Lists the document names.
- Full path
- Size
- Type. Lists the type of document (for example, SolidWorks Part Document).
- Date Modified
- Attributes (as reported by Windows Explorer)
You can save the contents of the list to a text file by clicking Save to File (SolidWorks Explorer toolbar).
