How to create annotation sets in *.ASM with Creo View?

[VeqTor]

Hello forum,

I got an assembly here in the form of one *.asm and several *.prt files in one folder.

I can view the assembly in Creo View. However, it seems that I cannot modify or create annotation sets. Also, it does not seem to be possible to export the assembly as *.PVZ from Creo View (to then create annotation sets in the PVZ file).

Or is there any other way to create and save annotation sets here?

Sounds like you are using the Creo View Lite version? I don't know what annotation sets you are trying to modify but it could be possible you need a MCAD license:

No I'm using Creo View MCAD -- which perfectly allows to create (and save!) annotations -- however only on PVZ files and (seemingly) not on *.asm files.

ok in that case I think your problem is that you are opening the native CAD and Creo View doesn't support saving annotations to the native CAD:

Can you open it in Creo Parametric and save it as a pvz?

Ok thanks -- now I see that there is no way to do this in Creo View:

I don't have Creo Parametric, but I can request the CAD data from the developer once again, but then as a PVZ file.
