Cross-section searchbox

As the library of cross-section (MPLR) is getting bigger, we have employed a new tool to make searching the desired section easier.

Since previous versions, you can set the specific class of cross-sections as favorite.

Now, you can use the search box within the library to find the desired section fast and easily. The search always works under the selected tab, i.e., if you are in Favorites, the search will go through your favorite sections only.

Together, it will speed up your work with cross-sections management.

The feature has been possible to use in Connection, Member, and Checkbot since patch 22.1.5.

Available in both Expert andย Enhancedย editions ofย IDEA StatiCa Steel.
