Methods and systems for searching computer-aided design (CAD) data. One method includes receiving a selection of a type of CAD metadata, displaying a user interface including at least one input mechanism for receiving a search parameter associated with the type of CAD metadata, and receiving the search parameter through the user interface. The method also includes, in response to receiving the search parameter, automatically identifying, with an electronic processor, CAD metadata associated with the CAD data matching the search parameter, and providing the CAD metadata matching the search parameter to a user.
