A new gallery layout has been added to browse all system and user-defined surface finish symbols in one place.
User Interface Location: Click Annotate > Surface Finish > Gallery.
Release: Creo Parametric 9.0.0.0

Watch a video that demonstrates this enhancement:

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The gallery lists all surface finish symbols defined in the pro_surface_finish_dir configuration option, or the system surface finish symbols if the configuration option is not defined. The content of each folder is shown in separate groups that can be expanded or collapsed. This enhancement is useful when placing surface finish symbols in models or drawings.

The gallery supports multiple thumbnail sizes and a name-based search for all surface finish symbols.

The first group of the gallery displays recently used surface finish symbols and allows you to pin individual symbols to the Pinned group. To pin a symbol, activate the shortcut menu on the desired symbol and select Pin to gallery.

This enhancement provides a modern, interactive way to navigate the surface finish symbol gallery, aligning its behavior with the gallery introduced for regular symbols in Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0.
