Creo View: Parts excluded from section are not saved

[VecTor]

Hello Community,

I have an assembly with a section that has some parts excluded from the section under "Sectioning" -> "Intersect with All" -> "Remove Selected".

I can save this as an Annotation Set, and the section even is displayed correctly in the Thumbnail View. However, when I open this Annotation Set later, the parts that were excluded from the section are displayed as sectioned again (i.e. all parts are displayed as sectioned, including the parts that i Had excluded from the section).

Why is that so, and how can I permanently exclude the desired parts from the section?

The easiest way I have found to do this is to create a group, and then add components to hide into that group (you can simply drag them to the group, or use some logic to auto populate it. When you open the model, then you just hide that group.
