Creo 3.0 - Annotation Rants...

PTC needs to see the problems we are having with the new annotation dialog.

 

I certainly have issues with not having the old editor to make quick entries.

However, the below behavior seems to be an oversight in the code or specification:

 

Note, in the normal note creation, I can specify the number of places but it requires a "rethink" to have it echo on the screen.

Using an annotation feature and trying to assign decimal places terminates the annotation creation.

This requires a separate edit to add the desired decimal places.

 

I also find it disturbing that we cannot enter the "[.4]" manually. You -have- to use the ribbon.

I didn't even know that button was there... Regardless, it doesn't seem to work in drawing mode. We have always just manually added the [.x] but this doesn't work anymore in Creo 3 (even though the documentation says it should). Now, instead of changing the number of decimal places it just shows the extra text.

This:

Becomes this:

I filed a case on this at the beginning of January. I apparently wasn't the first because there was already an existing case and SPR in the system. (Case CS189903 and SPR 2247425.) It's supposed to be fixed in M040 (probably April or May of 2015).

the only way i can get the [.2] to work is by first typing the parameter without the "&"

for example d49[.2], then exit the text editor

now re-edit the "d49[.2]" text and add the &

&d49[.2] shows as 1.12

mmmm that's some good creo workaround

Interesting. Thanks for finding that.
