Why can't Onshape read the PMI data in STEP AP242 files?

Hello everyone,
MBD annotations can be exported in STEP AP242 format. We tested this by importing the exported file into PTC Creo. All annotations created in MBD were included. It also worked with SolidWorks. However, when we tried the reverse process with Onshape, the MBD annotations were not included. We also tested the data exported from Onshape, but the MBD annotations were still missing. Although Onshape can open STEP AP242 files containing PMI data, it does not display the PMI data. Is there something we’re missing here?

Not supported yet, but in the plan.
We are preparing MBD content that also covers the Step AP242 topic. We will be sharing this content this month. When will this support, which is part of your plans, be made available? Is there an estimated date?
There is no specific timeline for this. Why do you need to import PMI?
We were working on a blog post about this topic, and our goal was to demonstrate that it works both ways. Thank you for your response. On a separate note, I’m an Onshape Pro user, but I don’t appear as a Pro user on the forum. Could you help me with this?
