Step Comment customization

[BrianBoman]

Does anyone know if you can specify what is written into this 'step_comment' area? I would like to force specific text into this annotation upon every export but I cannot find how to control this in the export profile.

Thanks.

STEP_COMMENTS will appear for STEP files, which were exported from Creo with step format which allows exporting of Annotations. E.g. step file with format ap203_is will not show any comments however ap214_is will display. I think there is no option available as of now.

I see. I feel it would be very beneficial for PTC to allow export controlled companies to force an export control message into that step comment. It would be a way to label all stp files automatically thru wc with export control as a means of protection. It might be a specific case but if it was made easy I am sure every export controlled company out there would check the box and add the comment as a layer of intended control.
