The standalone symbols now support the advanced capabilities that were previously available only for the other modernized types of annotations. This includes the support for semantic definition and semantic query, the creation of associated parameters, the designation of symbols as control characteristics, and the report for symbols that are failing in the notification center.

User Interface Location: Same as for the other modernized annotations.

Release: Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0

The standalone symbols can now collect semantic references to convey the design intent for the model-based definition use.

A dedicated semantic reference command is now available on the new contextual symbol ribbon.

The attachment reference is automatically added, and it is possible to add additional references, if required.

You can also create the associated parameters for standalone symbols to convey the design intent, as needed.

You can designate the symbols as a control characteristic directly from their ribbon options or from the contextual shortcut menu.

Failing references of symbols are reported in the notification center.

You can exclude the symbols when their parent references are suppressed, excluded, or deleted.

The symbols are supported by the semantic query tool, so you can easily understand the semantic relations between the symbols and the associated geometrical references.
