In Creo Elements/Direct Annotation, click File > Database. The Database dialog box opens. Click 2D Data in the Save section to store a drawing in MI format to the database. First click 2D Data in the Database and the WorkManager Desktop editor and the store options window pop-up. Select the correct destination class for the drawing and the desired store options (the class is sd_drawing).
The store dialog box provides the information about the status of related parts and document information in WorkManager.
No part relation
This message appears if the part or assembly belonging to the 2D drawing has no WorkManager part information (master data) assigned.

The parts information can be transferred to the editor by clicking the [Use ME Part] button.
If the ME part information corresponds to the part displayed in the editor, the message ME part = current part in editor is displayed.

The document information can be transferred to the editor by clicking the [UseCreo Elements/Direct Modeling document] button.
If the SD-Drawing information corresponds to the document displayed in the editor, the following message appears:
