Chapter 22. Search in Network

Searches for some named item in the current network. Optionally, the search is applied recursively so that it also searches in macro modules.

Figure 22.1. Scripting Editor

A listed item has a context menu. Its first entry is an option to show the item in the network. If chosen, the network is opened, the module is highlighted, and the highlighted module is centered. Alternatively, a listed item can just be double-clicked to highlight and show it.

Figure 22.2. Scripting Editor
