Search for documents used in other documents


    To find where documents are used in other documents, you can use the Where Used command. You can search for documents anywhere on your network. After you perform a where-used search on a document, you can expand the nodes in the search results until you get the information you need.

    When you are a QY CAD data management user performing a where-used search, the system might display a dialog box where a red folder indicates that the location is not indexed. Your system can very quickly search indexed locations. For information on indexing files, see Define a QY CAD vault.
