Controlling the general notes of multiple parts in one notebook

*Using Creo 10 currently* The background on this is I have an assembly with a bunch of parts that are only slightly different in geometry and the material, finish, etc. are all the same. The general notes on the drawing will be the same too.

So this is is essentially what I'm trying to do: I would love to create one annotation feature (possible in a notebook) that can be read by all of these parts to create their general notes on the drawing. That way, If I need to update the notes at any point, I can do it in one place (again, seems like something a notebook could do but I've tried to no avail) and update with a regeneration instead of going into all of the text and updating individually.

Is this possible? Even so, would it be too much work on the front end to set up?

If you are referring to Notebooks formerly layouts (.lay filetype), I do not believe this would be supported. A notebook controls parameters that are declared to parts but since they were created before any annotation features were introduced in Creo, I doubt they will propagate annotations. It is worth trying with some simple test models, but I am betting that annotations are not managed by notebooks.

The best method I can think of is to use a text document for the standard notes. You can then create mapkeys and/or scripts that will import this note from file into a drawing as required.
