finding Imported objects
I can see the object in the outliner and select it, and when I hit "F" It just flashes by and dissapers. sometimes Im lucky and manage to get it still after messing with the camera and different views, and then make it smaller and drag it towards the center.
Is there any easy way to select it in the outliner and center it to the grid.
I know I have read about this problem before but I cant remember where.

or one trick would be to create a geometry constraint. create a emptynode or a cube or whatever in the center. select this new object first, select your import last and hit Constrain - Geometry in the Animation menu.
the imported obj will then snap right to the center.
kind regards

The "constrain trick" worked perfect.
