Starting with Creo Parametric 7.0.2.0, we can now select multiple annotations in the Model Tree, Detail Tree, or the Graphics Window, and designate all of them to Windchill with a new option called Designation on the shortcut menu.
Two levels of designation are available:
1. General designation
2. Designation as control characteristics
Select annotations and right-click to open the shortcut menu. Click Designation and select the Designate or Control Characteristics checkbox to set the required designation status.
Now, there is a new configuration option default_annotation_designation, to define the default designation status of newly created annotations in the model. The valid values for this config option are:
- none*
- designate
- control_characteristics.

Note:
We now have a new user command option annotation_designation<value> that pushes the desired designation status to existing annotations in the legacy models.
The following values can be used with this command: none, designate, control_characteristics.
