My assumption:
Code:
Initializing viewtool_name
Finished initializing viewtool_name
Initializing docuvpar
Finished initializing docuvpar
Initializing docuvppe
Finished initializing docuvppe
Initializing am_presel_util
Finished initializing am_presel_util

;; and here it hangs... ?
open a DOS shell and call the following command (adapt the path!)
Code:
cd "C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo Elements\Direct Modeling xxxxxxx\Annotation\win"

"C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo Elements\Direct Modeling xxxxxxx\Annotation\binx64\annotator.exe"
Normally a full screen Me10 viewport + prompt line + input line should appear. Since there is no license "evaluation" will be displayed .. It this still working?

last but not least: there are some environment variables around to disable modeling / Annotation to use the 'high sophisticated" graphic drivers. give those a chance as well.
