Prepare your assets.
3D-Guided Service Instructions 101: Use Attributes in Creo Illustrate already shows how to assign animations and attributes to CAD files. For this use case, will use the file that you created when walking through that use case and make additional adjustments so that the new version includes all metadata that the Product Inspector use case builds upon.
If you have not completed the 3D-Guided Service Instructions use case, don’t worry—the assets are also available in the final form in GitHub:
