Querying Whether an Element Appears in a View

You can query whether low-level design elements and their owners appear in a given View using the command:

Q FIND gid IN view

where gid is the general identifier of the element and view is the view identifier. For example:

Q FIND /BOX99 IN /SH1/V1

Q FIND /VESS-05 IN VIEW

Q FIND ILEAVE TUBE OF /VALVE-24 IN /VIEW/02

The view identifier can be omitted if it is the current element. For example:

Q FIND /BRANCH-01

Possible answers are:

FOUND

MISSING

INVALID ELEMENT

Note: A significant Design element will not be found in a View if it only owns other significant elements. It must own visible primitives. This affects EQUI, STRU and FRMW elements; they will not be found unless they own visible primitives.
