When placing annotations on cylindrical features such as holes or shafts, both halves of the cylinder are now automatically selected as semantic references. This enhancement removes the need for manual selection of the second half, streamlining the annotation process.

The automatic surface collection works during the initial placement of annotations and when adding new cylindrical instances. This behavior applies to all annotation types.

Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0

Key Benefits:

  • Simplified selection of cylindrical features with fewer clicks.
  • Enhanced usability for annotations on holes and shafts.

Additional Information:

  • Limitations:
    • The second half of the cylinder is not automatically selected for advanced collection methods, such as seed-and-bound.
    • Cylinders divided using the “Divide Surface” feature will not have the second half automatically collected.
  • Replaces Existing Functionality: No.
  • Configuration Options: None.
