The .F2P files are where annotation overlays, such as those circled in yellow below, can be saved and stored for reuse.
A .F2P file can contain 1 or more annotation overlay. One or more .F2P files can be imported for display into any PCB in the Unisoft software and used simply for display or as part of the assembly process steps in the assembly documentation creation.

Next click SELECT ANNOTATION FOR SAVING and this annotation will now be included within the .F2P file. Repeat these steps for as many annotations as desired to be included in the F2P file.
Next after all the annotations desired have been selected click ASSEMBLY SHEETS/1ST ARTICLE on the top menu & click ANNOTATIONS and then select SAVE ANNOTATIONS [.F2P].
and follow the instructions to save the selected annotation(s) to a .F2P file with the name and location you desire.
This .F2P file just created can be loaded for display in the Unisoft software for any PCB.
