I am trying to add surface finish specification to selected surfaces of a model so that the surface finisk specification [dimension] wil display on the 2 d draft drawing. I am told to do this when working in the part model by the following method. Go to main menue, insert annotations, [from drop down menue] select surface finish. Pro E gives window then : I try to follow the instructions to select surfaces/ including them in the references field/ editing the "roughness height" and am unsuccessful at getting the surface finish to appear in the model. I have tried many combinations and still unsuccessful. I can't believe how complicated this needs to be just to apply a simple surface finish note. I was able to get "annotation icon to populate the tree. Thought I was getting close. Tried to do edit and got lost in various tabs [parameters ect] that seem way to complicated for something so simple as surface finish. Why so complex? Will someone please tell me the secret of navigating this mase?? Thanks for the help Frank Oellig

i just used ur instructions since i've never done it this way and it worked fine for me... weird. give me a ring if u like, well if ur in the US.. lol under "references" i picked my surface i want my surface finish note on, then under placement i selected type = on entity, and selected the same surface as the references surface, after selecting the surface u can middle mouse click and then the ok button shows itself, and then u done...
