Types of Creo Elements/Direct Annotation files
Creo Elements/Direct Annotation supports many file types, including files created in other CAD systems.
The following is a list of file type suffixes that may be seen in the file browser, and the types of files they refer to. (The file types available will depend on which Creo Elements/Direct Modeling modules are active. For a full list of the Creo Elements/Direct Modeling file types, see File types overview) We recommend you use the standard file name suffixes to distinguish the different types of files used by Creo Elements/Direct Modeling and Creo Elements/Direct Annotation:
*.bdl
*.mi
Drawings, sketch, and Frames files; also sheets exported to MI and Creo Elements/Direct Drafting drawings imported from MI
