Task
Description
Designate all the annotations that are shown in a model, including the annotations created in Creo 3.0 or earlier.
annotation_designation <value>
When you open a model with annotations, there may be some annotations that were created in Creo 3.0 or earlier.
* 
When working with legacy annotations, you must first convert them using the Legacy Datum Annotations Conversion tool.
Use the annotation_designation <value> user command to designate the legacy and the standardized annotations. You can use the following values with this command:
none (annotation_designation none)
designate (annotation_designation designate)
control_characteristics (annotation_designation control_characteristics)
Enable propagation of datum target annotations through data sharing features.
allow_dtae_propagation
Existing models with data sharing features may already include manually created datum targets. Propagation of annotations is not supported for manually created datum targets.
To enable propagation, apply the allow_dtae_propagation user command on the model and regenerate the applicable data sharing feature.
After regeneration, datum target annotation elements are propagated along with other supported annotations.
This command applies to existing models that include manually created datum targets Newly created models support Datum Target annotation element propagation by default.
