MBD Annotations in Sheetmetal Bounding Box Flat Pattern

Hello,
I am looking for help with an issue involving sheet metal flat patterns, Creo Parametric, and Creo View.
I am using Creo Parametric 10 and Creo View 12. When I create a flat pattern of a sheet metal part in Creo Parametric, the automatically generated bounding box overall length and width dimension annotations display correctly in Creo Parametric.
However, when I open the corresponding file in Creo View, those automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions do not appear in the Creo View viewable state.
One thing I have noticed is that if I create manual dimensions in Creo Parametric, those manual dimensions do come through and display in Creo View correctly. The issue seems to be specific to the automatically generated dimensions created during flat pattern creation.
Has anyone else seen this behavior with automatically generated flat pattern bounding box dimensions not publishing or displaying in Creo View? Are there any settings, publishing options, annotation display settings, or viewable configuration options that control whether these automatic flat pattern dimensions are included in the Creo View viewable?
Any suggestions for things to check or possible workarounds would be appreciated.
Thank you.
