When saving an annotator drawing (for the first time) in Workmanager, the user must first ensure that the Parent Part Element is shown in the Editor to ensure that the proper parent child relationships are made. This process is error prone resulting in the annotator document being inadvertently related to the wrong part. Worse yet, if the editor contains a document that you have mastered, it will let you overwrite it. While annotating models it is often necessary to make minor adjustments to the 3D models which to be done confidently, must be done in the context of their assembly. Parts are selected and annotated one at a time until all desired parts are documented. Since WorkManager knows that what model a annotator drawing is derived from (and the model has usually been saved much earlier), it should automatically display the proper part in the Editor when saving the Annotator document to ensure the proper relation is made.
