A .F2P file can contain 1 or more annotation overlay. One or more .F2P files can be imported for display into any PCB assembly ( PCBA ) in the Unisoft software and used simply for display or as part of the assembly process steps in the assembly documentation creation.

To save annotations to a .F2P file first you select the annotations you wish to be contained in the .F2P and to do this click the Annotation Tool button (yellow page with pencil) on the top toolbar. Your cursor will change to a pointer with grayed-out page . Next click on the annotation you wish to save and the following box will appear.
