Annotation Rules
To ensure that the Annotation MI drawing file retains its 3D/2D associativity for further use in Creo Elements/Direct Annotation, you must observe the following rules when using the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting Annotation module:
• Do not copy one drawing into another drawing.
• Do not manually insert one or more sheets into another drawing.
• Do not manually insert views into a sheet (using the view definition commands of Creo Elements/Direct Annotation). Only use the Sheet commands provided by the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting Annotation module.
• Do not change or delete info texts beginning with "SD_" or "DOCU" or "AM_".
• Do not modify view parts or 3D parts below view parts with the commands in the Modify menu of Creo Elements/Direct Drafting. Only use the View commands provided by the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting Annotation module.
• Do not scale view parts or 3D parts below view parts with the command in the Parts menu of Creo Elements/Direct Drafting. Only use the Scale command provided by the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting Annotation module.
• Do not change the scale of the TOP part or the parts below the TOP part with the Creo Elements/Direct Drafting Parts/Drawing Scale commands.
• Do not change the owner of a part or subassembly (which belong to the drawing) in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting.
• Do not use Creo Elements/Direct Drafting to smash or gather any part created by Creo Elements/Direct Annotation (sheets, frames, view parts, parts below view parts, sketches).
• Do not create detail parts in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting — these would not be associative to the 3D model. Use the Detail command in Creo Elements/Direct Annotation to create detail views.
