You can now export additional surface references added to dimension annotations, including those for standalone annotations, annotation features, and driving dimensions. When you include these annotations in the STEP AP242 export, all additional surface references are preserved.

Upon importing the STEP AP242 file into Creo Parametric or other applications, the defined dimension references are included. The annotations display the included references, ensuring a complete and accurate representation.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location: Select an annotation. Click  References.

Benefits:
Previously, only the references used to create a dimensional annotation were imported or exported, with all additional references being lost. This enhancement:

  • Captures semantic product manufacturing information (PMI) accurately by including additional references for annotations.
  • Improves the quality and performance of rendering in Creo Parametric.
  • Preserves design intent when exchanging annotated data with additional references across different applications.
