Find object from its identifier

To find an object when you see its identifier in a Definition or other attribute, select the identifier (double-click on it), and select Find Selection from the Object menu or just press Control+h.

=== Find dialog ===

Alternatively, you can search for a variable or other user-defined object by its identifier or by title.

Optionally, if you see the identifier or title of the object you want to search for -- for example, in the definition of another variable, select that text.
Select Find from the Object menu or press Control+f to open the Find dialog:
If you selected some text, it will appear in the dialog as the search text. If not, type in the identifier or title of the object you want to search for. You can enter a partial name, such as 'down' for 'Down payment.'
Select the attribute to search, Identifier or Title.
Click the Find button to search.

If it finds a matching object, it shows the node selected in its parent Diagram window.

If you enter a partial name, it might find multiple matches. In that case, it shows the first match. To cycle though all the matches, select Find Next from the Object menu or press Control+g.
