I know the part number of the part I am looking for in the Browser. Click the Find button and fill in the data. Then I pick Find Now, Inventor finds the part buried deep in an assembly. It is not automatically brought into my site. I have to expand all then manually scroll down the tree.
Am I missing some key setting?

wyaro,
Thank you for your reply. I am using the Ctrl F dialog to search for a part number the browser. The problem I am having is finding the highlighted part that is buried into a subassembly of a subassembly of a subassembly.

Right, you don't have scroll the browser to find the part. what you cold do is, just isolate the part after when you found it and then click right on the part and select "find in browser". I think is the shortest way to find the part in browser.
