Have you tried relating symbols and surface finish annotations to other annotations in Creo MBD?

In the past, relating symbols or surface finish annotations to other annotations in Model-Based Definition (MBD) was a manual and non-associative process that lacked persistence when the parent annotation was moved. This enhancement introduces a more efficient way to link… Continue Reading →

Did you know tables in Model-Based Definition support security markings in Creo?

In Model-Based Definition (MBD), you can designate flat-to-screen tables as security marking tables. These tables can be included in all current combination states as well as any future combination states. The security marking tables are visually identified in the Model… Continue Reading →

Have you tried creating tables in model-based definition in Creo?

You can now create simple tables within Model-Based Definition (MBD). These tables can be placed on any annotation plane or set as flat-to-screen and assigned to combination states, just like other annotations. There are two methods to create tables in… Continue Reading →
