General Profile Tolerance (GPT) with semantic information is now available in Creo.

Previously, GPT was represented as a simple note, and none of its properties were reflected by its parameters.

GPT created with GD&T Advisor is now represented as a geometrical tolerance annotation type, which means that all properties of the annotation are also conveyed to its parameters.

Previously, all model surfaces associated with the general profile could be colored. However, the actual model surfaces were not added as semantic references to the annotation.

Additionally, GPT is now associated to the relevant surfaces of the model. This means that any model surfaces that are not otherwise specified with other GD&T annotations will be added to the general profile tolerance as semantic references.

The semantic references that are associated with a general profile tolerance are automatically updated with every model change. However, you can also manually update the semantic references of GPT using the new command Update General Profile references from the GD&T Advisor ribbon.

With this enhancement, GPT now contains all relevant semantic references from the model. This helps to convey the true Model-Based Definition (MBD) state of the model for the downstream use.
