Unvalidated Annotations List
The Unvalidated Annotations List shows a list of all the annotations in the model that have been created with native Creo tools and have not been validated by GD&T Advisor. Each item in the list includes the annotation ID and the status condition indicating the reason it cannot be validated. When you click on an item in the list, the annotation is highlighted in the CAD model unless the annotation is on a hidden layer (e.g., not shown in the active combined state).
Status Conditions
Any Annotation
Annotation cannot be validated; license option not available — Annotation validation requires the GDT_ENTERPRISE_SET license option.
Datum Feature Symbols
Reference surface belongs to an existing feature — One or more, but not all, of the datum feature symbol reference surfaces is also referenced by an existing functional feature. A surface may only be referenced by a single functional feature. You should remove the surface from the datum feature symbol references and then click Refresh List.
Another DFS is attached to the feature — There is already another datum feature attached to the functional feature. You should probably delete this annotation.
Duplicate DFS label — There is another datum feature with the same label. All datum feature symbols must have unique labels.
Dimensions
No associated feature identified — No functional feature that is associated with the angular dimension has been identified. You should probably delete this annotation.
Dimension type not supported — The dimension type is not supported. It is OK to leave the dimension in the model, but its effect on the constraint state of the functional features in your model will be ignored.
There are no surface references — The dimension does not have any surface references defined. You should identify the applicable surface references for the dimension and then click Refresh List.
Reference surface belongs to an existing feature — One or more of the dimension reference surfaces is referenced by an existing functional feature. You should either delete the dimension or remove the surface from the dimension references and then click Refresh List.
Dimension references not supported — The dimension is not supported. Linear offset dimensions may only reference planar surfaces. It is OK to leave this dimension in the model, but its effect on the constraint state of the functional features in your model will be ignored.
Dimension cannot be validated automatically — One or both surface references is also referenced by an existing feature. You should edit the applicable functional feature to include the dimension.
Dimension may not be applicable to feature type — The dimension may not be applicable to the functional feature that would be created based on the dimension’s the surface references.
Related dimensions are missing — The functional feature defined by the dimension references requires other dimensions that are missing from the CAD model.
Hole placement reference is not supported — The CAD feature must reference either a planar surface feature or a shaft feature.
Geometric Tolerances
No attachment to part geometry — The geometric tolerance it not attached to the part geometry. You should either attach the geometric tolerance to a part surface or to another annotation that is properly attached to the part and then click Refresh List.
Invalid attachment to part geometry — The geometric tolerance has an invalid attachment to the part geometry (for example, attached to an edge). You should either attach the geometric tolerance to a part surface or to another annotation that is properly attached to the part and then click Refresh List.
Reference surface belongs to an existing feature — One or more, but not all, of the geometric tolerance reference surfaces is referenced by an existing functional feature. You should either delete the geometric tolerance or remove the surface from the annotation references and then click Refresh List.
You may select one or more items in the list and the click on the Delete Selected button to delete the annotation from the CAD model.
After making changes to your Creo model, you should click the Refresh List button to have the application update the model and refresh the list.
