About Annotation Orientation by Named Orientation

Model-Based Definition > Model-Based Definition > Annotation Features > Annotation Feature Basics > About Annotation Orientation by Named Orientation

You can define an annotation plane using a named orientation. If you delete the named orientation, the annotation orientation remains unchanged.

Note the following points about an annotation orientation by named orientation.

• Annotation Elements with a named orientation do not display any reference for the annotation plane in the References collector in the ANNOTATION FEATURE dialog box.

• Creo Parametric does not copy a named orientation in the UDF or DSF. The Annotation is frozen relative to the UDF geometry.

• All Annotations oriented by named orientation placed with independent UDFs are frozen. You can change the Annotation Element orientation in the target model independent of the source Annotation Element.

• If you create the annotation in a part in an assembly, then you can select only the saved orientations of the part for an annotation plane.
