Before you start, ensure that you have only the Select parts selection switch active on the Selection toolbar. Otherwise selecting objects can take a long time in large models. 1. Open a model view where all parts are clearly visible. 2. In the Drawing List, press Ctrl + A to select all drawings. 3. To highlight the parts that have drawings, click Select objects. To see the found parts easier, right-click the model and select Show only selected to show only the parts that Select objects has found and hide the others. 4. After completing the previous step you can highlight the parts that do not have drawings by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting the entire model (hold down the left mouse button and drag all the way from left to right).
