That's correct. Flat to screen surface finishes do not have a directional annotation plane and do not support an extension line. You cannot drag surface finishes off the model surfaces that are created flat to screen. In Creo, if the placement surface is planar, then you can drag surface finishes in the XY direction beyond...
