• Prepare the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting drawing environment for Annotation.

• Load an MI file generated in Creo Elements/Direct Annotation.

• View, annotate and edit this file as appropriate. For example, you can manipulate views and you can hide or delete elements. Also, you can modify and/or add geometry by means of regular Creo Elements/Direct Drafting commands. Note that a warning message is displayed for any "structurally dangerous" operations that would impair 3D/2D associativity.

• After making changes to the underlying 3D model in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting, update the relevant view(s) to visualize and review the resulting changes in 2D.

• Edit the 2D views as appropriate.

• Check the part structure of the Annotation MI file by means of the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting Part Browser.

• Save the 2D drawing for further use in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting or in Creo Elements/Direct Annotation.
