Opening a part in an .egl file

With a few keystrokes you can access an EGL part other than a build part, anywhere in your workspace:

1. In the workbench, click Navigate > Open Part or click the Open Part button on the toolbar. The Open Part dialog is displayed.

2. Type the name of the part you want to locate; or to display a list of parts with names that match a specific pattern of characters, embed wildcard symbols in the name:
   • A question mark (?) represents any one character

   • An asterisk (*) represents a series of any characters

   For example, type myForm?Group to locate parts named myForm1Group and myForm2Group, but not myForm10Group. Type myForm*Group to locate parts named myForm1Group, myForm2Group, and myForm10Group.

   As you type the name, qualifying parts are displayed in the Open Part dialog, in the Matching parts section.

3. From the list of parts, select the part you want to open. The dialog's Qualifier section displays the path containing the folder, project, package, and source file that holds the selected part. In the event that multiple parts have the same name, select a part by clicking on the path of the file you want to open.

4. Click OK. The source file containing the part you selected opens in the EGL editor, with the part name highlighted.
