     Hi Cad Engineer,

    You should use the "Find" panel default on the right of the screen.First, press "M" to activate move operation and next write your component reference name to "Find By Name" section.Be sure that "Symbol (or Pin)" is chosen and press "Enter".You will see where it is and it will be hilighted.Actually now the component is ready to move but it is necessary for zooming to it.
