Show only model annotations in top level

[ZC_10909252]

I have an assembly with a note I would like to have displayed in a combination state. When in the model I have to click on the note in the model tree in order for them to appear. If I click on the "show annotations" button the notes appear but so does every note down the piece parts which is way too many and cluttered on the screen. Once I switch combination states and go back (despite hitting the update button) the notes are gone again. How can i get only the notes/annotations in the top level assembly to show?

The show annotations dialog box has nothing in it to select or filter.

I don't know of an easy way to show only the top level other than to use layers.

Place all notes on "annotation" layers in their respective models to control their visibility with layers.  You can then create a layer state to use in the combination state.

Sure. but there's not really an easy way to do that when I have 1000s of parts.

You can extend rules from an assembly to subassemblies and parts.  See below discussion.
