PCB Editor and "find"

TH Designs

When using the "find" feature, is there a way to have the screen go to the part you are looking for? Example, I'm zoomed in on a specific part of the board. I want to locate a part so I use the "find" feature and type in the reference desiginator. The screen remains where it is and I don't know if the part was found or not. Once I zoom out and start looking around, I see that the part that I was looking for was highlighted, but I was never taken to it. What use is the "find" feature if it does not take you to the part?

Example, in 15.7 hit "CTL-F" then type in the reference desiginator and return. You will be taken to that parts location.

    Just to interject,  there is a multi-click way to get back to prior version convenience -

    After "finding" an object it is selected although off-screen.  You can then find the "zoom selection" toobar button or enter that command in the command window and it will take you to the item.

    At least my v16.5 behaves that way - -
