Query Name

Query Criteria

Condition

Defines the conditional argument for the property being searched. For example, you can define a query where the Condition option is set to Contains, and the Property option is set to Material, and the Value is set to Steel. All parts whose material property contains the word "Steel" would be selected.

Value

Defines the value to search for in the specified property. You can type any text you want to search for. You can search for multiple values in one operation by separating the values with a semicolon (;). For example, you could search for a material property of either steel or copper by typing: Steel; Copper.
