Search Terms

The default search term associated with a menu item is the trail of menus/buttons you would need to manually open/press, e.g. to get to measure part to part you would need to go to Tools, then Measure then Part to Part, hence the search term 'Tools->Measure->Part to Part'.

In addition, some menus have alternative search terms associated with them. For example Measure Part to Part can also be found from the alternative text 'Distance Between Parts':

This can be useful for cases where you don't know or can't remember under which menu some functionality lives.

Note that the alternative text appears in brackets under the default search term so you can see how you would get to the menu manually.

If you can't find menus that you know exist in PRIMER it is likely that you are using different terminology to what we expect. If so, please contact Oasys Ltd Support and they can add alternative text based on what you are entering as your search text.

Alternative text associated with a menu may also describe some of the features on a menu. For example the overlay colour of elements is set in the Display Options menus, but if you didn't know this it would be hard to find.

In this case the alternative text 'Set Overlay Colour' is associated with this menu:
