OK... Let ask in another way.
How you collaborate with your team in company if you want to make the 3d part/assambly without the 2d drawings.

I mean, how to show all necessary dimensions, tolerances, PMI, cross sections and etc? For example, now I have a problem. When I show a dimensions (annotations) in cross section in Creo Parametric, after export to Creo View I don't have an access to this cross section. In this case some dimensions are shown inside solid part and, therefore, they not visible.

How you 3D parts with GD&T and PMI in Creo Parametric to share with the others? What is your methods? Please, give me advice.

In Creo you can go to Annotate tab, Show whatever dimensions you want and associate them with combination state.

You can also associate XSEC with combination state, as well as layers state etc.

In order to create DRIVEN dimensions / GD&T etc - just use Annotation features. They have any kind of GTOL, Surf Finish etc that you may want. Any annotation created in certain Combination state will be only visible in it and will not scramble default model appearance.

Combination state - is exactly what I need. But how to use them in conjunction with PDM? How to see this in Creo View?

As I know, combination states are don't exporting in Creo View.

Or I mistaken?
