STEP AP242 file with combined states opened on Creo View

To all,

We have been going thru the process of adding annotations into our models for vendors to be able to see what they need to check. The problem we are running into is when the file gets exported as a step file, and we go to open it, this information is not in these files. Is there a setting that needs to be selected for the step file creation, to be able to see these when opened in CreoView? We are currently using Creo4.

Thank you.

Dennis

Good morning:

What you are asking for is not part of the design requirements of CreoView for PTC. We have the same problem, we can see the combined states of the step files with the new step format in Creo/Parametric, but no in Creo View, we see all the anootation 3D of the file all together, but this is useless for complex parts.

The solution given by PTC was to create an idea. I think that what you see in Creo/Parametric sholud be seen in Creo/View too, but it doesn´t happen so in this case and it gives problems in the MBD enviroment.

This is the link to this idea, please vote it:
