New Color-criteria in SmartMBDTools

27. August 2026 | Updates

Coloring Models Based on Existing Annotations in SmartMBDTools

Models that already contain annotations on faces can now be colored based on rules. To this end, new rule criteria have been introduced that allow you to find faces that reference the following annotation types:

  • Notes
  • Symbols (surface symbols, standard Creo symbols)
  • Shape and position tolerances
  • Reference designators
  • Dimensions

The individual criteria can be further refined as needed.
Of course, the found faces can also be assigned any number of face parameters during coloring. This ensures that the data can be easily exported to various exchange formats and is simple and clear for human users to understand.
