Enh request - tree searching skip mates

I just submitted an enhancement request, and if you agree and have the time,
you might want to submit something similar. Here's what I submitted.

When I want to find a particular part in a long tree, I use the Go To search
function. But I would like a box to check that would tell it not to stop on
mates. As it is now, I may have to wade through 30 stops on mates before I
get to the first instance of the part.

You could also perhaps use wildcards in searches to limit them
and/or search in a fast mode (back & forth in powers of 2) which
sort of assures the least number of choices you must make to find
one item on an ordered list. Or both. In addition to other filters.
Don't know if you can do this now.

Wayne,

This sounds like a job for a macro. There is a sample in the Examples
section of API help that will go entirely through the feature tree in
an assembly. One version just finds components and the other will find
all the features as well. It shouldn't be too hard to adapt that to
search on whatever you want.
