Hello All,

 

I am trying to create annotations in Assembly, by activating a certain part in the assembly.

In which I found that Annotations Tab got Disabled when a part is active,

can you tell me how to create annotations in this scenario?

After performing regression tests down to Creo 2.0, the behavior is consistant accross all versions: it is not permitted to create stand alone annotations in the context of an assembly when a component has been activated.

 

The steps of the scenarios:

  1. Create an assembly
  2. Create a component in the assembly
  3. Activate the component
  4. Browse to the Annotate tab

Observed: the Annotations group is grey

 

The solution consists either to:

  • open the component in part mode
  • remain in the Assembly Component Activate mode and create an Annotation Feature. Know the difference between Stand Alone Annotations vs Annotation Feature with this article from the knowledge base: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS293596

 

If you feel like this workflow should be permitted, you may file an enhancement request by following these instructions : https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS67713

Is the annotation in the model or a drawing?
