Question
Annotations & Layers
Creo2, M120
We are not big users of annotations except for the occasional 3D note to bring dimensional or parameter info on screen in a model. in the past, we used the old 3D note feature and we had a rule based layer in our start part that found those notes and turned them on and off as needed. The rule on that layer was this:
Look for: Note
Look by: note
Name == *
That worked great and gathered up the notes and let us hide them.
In Creo 2, we now have to create an annotation feature with a note inside*. The note still ends up on the layer, but nothing will make the note go away. I've tried other rules with the same results:
Look for: Feature
Look by: Annotation
Name == *
Look for: Feature
Look by: Feature
Type == Annotation Feature
All get the annotation feature on the layer, but hiding the layer does nothing to make the note go away.
What am I missing? How can control the visibility of a 3D note with layers?
* I did discover that the old note feature is still there, but it seems to behave just like an annotation anyway.
