The Object Type tab provides a list of all the major object types you can include in your search. The objects in this tab are organized by discipline or task and apply restrictions to their respective hierarchy in combination with the other expanding hierarchy tabs, for example, System, Named Space, Reference 3D, and so on.
The filter selects the objects you highlight. If you do not select any objects, the filter uses the definition from the expanding hierarchy tabs without restricting their object types. If you select an object type without selecting any hierarchies, the software returns all objects of that type in the model. If you select object types and hierarchies, the software returns only those object types that are contained in the selected hierarchies. The table contains examples of the object types returned based on the object type and hierarchy tab selections.
