is there a way in the game to get a part number that would help me find that part in the xml file? When I build a plane the first time I memorize the important ones but when I go back a month or two later to make improvements It gets pretty hairy.

@Gestour Ya, that's what I meant by "search Material="x""
I use notepad for xml, and it has a search function (under edit) I don't look for it with my eyes, that's way too hard. @RedBeard66
@Gestour I figured out another way also, when building a plane order the colors of your plane deliberately, using the the boxes in order 1,2,3,etc and keeping similar systems categorized. then search for material="x" this greatly decreases the number of parts to scroll through and since the material is at the end of the first part line, its pretty easy to spot. after the plane is finished you can even change the colors more if you need and just return them if you need to do any further updates. I'm also going to set all the unused colors to the same color to indicate that they aren't used. I think this will work great for simple and medium builds, when they get really big or if the color scheme is two complex your way is probably best.
I sometimes clone the part, save, look at the last line, copy the unique aspect of the specs, and then do a search for the part that matches. It usually works.
