Find the location of a variable location

My schematic is quite large, I need to find the location of an element that's associated with a variable of interest (could be for a resistor or for a capacitor). From Find there is no option to find a variable location. Thanks.

     Hi,

    If you mean "design variable" (as in that set up and perhaps modified by the simulation environment) then there is a "Find" button in ADE for locating the instance(s) which use the selected design variable.  There are ways to search for things like this using SKILL, but I think that we'd be re-inventing the wheel here since it is built-in to the tool.  I hope that this helps, or perhaps I has misunderstood the issue?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
