Tagged Annotation Report

Export tagged annotations from the current Creo model or drawing as a characteristic inventory.

The Tagged Annotation Report inventories annotations you tagged with Annotation Manager. Each row is one ballooned item on the current model or drawing. Tagging how-to: Tag Annotations.
