How to Add 3D Notes in Pro Engineer[edit | edit source]
Here are the key steps for adding 3D notes in Pro/ENGINEER (now called Creo Parametric):
1. Enter the 3D model environment for the part or assembly you want to annotate.
2. Go to the "Annotate" tab on the ribbon.
3. Click on the "Note" button in the "Annotations" group.
4. In the "Note" dialog box that appears:
- Select the attachment point or surface for the note on the 3D model - Choose the note style (e.g. with or without leader line) - Enter the text for the note - Set other options like font, color, etc.
5. Click OK to place the note on the model.
6. The note will be added as a 3D annotation that moves with the model.
7. You can edit the note later by double-clicking on it.
8. Notes can be associated with specific model features or geometry.
9. Use the "Annotation Plane" tool to define planes for placing multiple related annotations.
10. Annotations can be organized into "Combination States" to manage visibility.
11. 3D annotations can be set to automatically transfer to 2D drawings.
12. Use the "Annotation Display" options to control overall annotation visibility.
Some key things to keep in mind:
- 3D notes are stored with the model, not in a separate file - They can convey design intent directly on the 3D geometry - Proper use of annotation planes and states helps organize annotations - 3D annotations support model-based definition (MBD) workflows
The specific commands and workflow may vary slightly between Pro/E and newer Creo versions, but the general process remains similar. The 3D annotation capabilities have been significantly enhanced in recent Creo releases.
