Agile PLM has some very powerful search functions. One function that may go overlooked is its ability to do a where-used search of an item across all revisions. This means that if item 123 was removed from the BOM of released item 345, Agile will still allow the user to search for the past where-used relationship between the two items.
To do this search in Agile, use the Advanced Search tool and change Object Type to “Where-used One Level All Released Revisions”. Then fill in all the other information and search as normal. The search results will include all where-used across all revisions of released BOMs.

As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991.
For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine.
Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors.
More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.
