This help topic explains how to find loop numbers by filtering search parameters.

Filtering search parameters in the Find Loop dialog enables you to narrow down your search. You can narrow your search to the maximum by filtering all the columns of the grid. Leaving some of the columns unfiltered widens the search. It is up to you which search parameters to filter. If you do not filter any search parameters, the software finds all the existing loop numbers in the current <unit>.

As you filter, the display changes to show loop numbers that match your search parameters in the Results data window.

Use the fields and lists in the Search parameters group box to enter your search parameters to narrow your search. The following search parameters are available:

Search Parameter
