Improved Handling Between Parent and Child for Annotations in Model-Based Definition | Creo 6.0

You can exclude annotations from your design and graphics when their parent feature is no longer available. To support this, Excluded state is introduced for annotations. Child annotations are excluded when the parent feature is not available for any of the following reasons:


• Excluded by family table
• Excluded by simplified representation or Family table instance
• Suppressed
• Deleted
• Parent section was deactivated and its hatching is hidden


Whether or not to exclude child annotations, based on the parent status, is configurable. Managing the visibility of failed annotations in the graphics area, due to a missing parent feature, is more flexible. You can choose what you want to exclude using four new detail options. See Configuration options associated with this functionality in the Additional Information section, at the end of this topic.
You can add the Annotation Status column for the Model Tree. The following statuses are available:


• Excluded—Annotations excluded due to their missing parent feature are listed for modernized annotations and for Annotation Elements owned by an Annotation feature.
• Missing References—Modernized annotations that are failing for weak references
• Failed—Modernized annotations that are failing for strong references
• Unconverted—Legacy nonconverted annotations
• Not Available—Nonmodernized annotations that cannot be converted into modern type annotations

Wow! Can't wait to try this out, especially with cross sections.
