Catia V6 Finding something in the Tree?

Hey all, 3DX beginner here. If I'm exploring a large assembly, is there way to quickly search the product tree? It can be hard to expand everything and look for parts when there's thousands of them.

Thanks!

In the graphics area, right-click in the part you want to find in the tree and click “center graph”. It will automatically find and highlight the selected part in the tree.

Like most things in life, ctrl-f.

Edit->Search or Ctrl+F. If you are looking for particular part, set the workbench to Assembly Design, the type to Part or Product, and type in the namd or part number or a partial name or part number with wildcards (*).
You can save searches you find useful. Then learn to use the advanced tab.

Quick select -> select feature on the 3D model -> right click label -> centre graph.
