Did you know that configuration changes made to the model tree are automatically saved to the user's creo_parametric_customization.ui file? This includes modifying the display of model tree filters, column widths, and the display of columns. Because these settings are saved to the user's customization file, they remain in subsequent Creo sessions that you launch.   What kind of settings do you find most helpful or do you use most often?     

I'm noticing today that many of the knowledge base articles now have huge sections of white space in them.  Not sure what changed, but want to make sure someone is aware.   https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS298379

Hey, PTC.  Have you ever watched a user who has been through PTC University try to use CREO?  You'd find it enlightening...and very concerning.  Your user interface is as complex today as it was in Pro/E 2000 and is not intuitive.  If a competent engineer with decades of experience in solid modeling can't sit down and figure out how to create a feature, your interface is too complex.  If you watched me, or any other competent SolidWorks user, try to use CREO (after completing PTC University training), you'd learn a tremendous amount that you could put toward a better user interface.  You'd see us struggle to know what to do while CREO holds us captive creating a feature with no indication of where in the interface to provide information that we know CREO is waiting for, for instance. You'd learn that the way you allow feature creation (a plane, for instance) is not intuitive and doesn't allow simple but powerful on-t

How do I found out the online supervisor for our account?   My account has not been given the licence admin/download privileges yet although it was already upgraded to be a live support OU account.   The accounts supervisor at the OU needs to grant these privileges to this account, but I don't know who it is?

Did you know that you can set the language used by Windchill independently from your browser language? For example, if you want to use Windchill in English while using German as your language default for your browser, you can simply select Language Settings from the My Settings fly-out menu.   Are you excited about this Windchill feature? Has it made your learning experience easier? 

When I create a user account for a colleague, he does not receive any notification email (looked in his Spam inbox, nothing). The account number shows up in my list but he doesn't receive the email to change the password and I can't re-trigger anything from my end as admin.    Can somebody help?   Thanks, 

Did you know you can dynamically search and filter model tree nodes as you type, making searching for text, conditions, query types, and wild cards easier? This simple search is available in all modes of Creo Parametric.  For more information, check out the latest Creo Update courses here. Have you explored all the latest Creo 7.0 features yet? Which update is your favorite?

Hello, I wanted to fill out the Case Logger for an issue with Creo 7.0 but there is no "Creo Parametric - Release 7.0" entry in the drop down list. How can I get in contact with the PTC technical support regarding Creo 7.0 issue?   BR Alexander

I created a license management case a couple of days ago and I'm noticing that the 'normal' web tools won't display it.   1.)  It's not listed under 'My Active Requests' on the support home page.   2.)  It does not appear on the Case Tracker page, even though the product is set to 'LicenseMgt Service'.   The case definitely exists and is active, so why is it so hard to get to?   Thanks.

Is it just me, or is the knowledge base search ignoring all of us?  

Hello，   When I click "manage licenses" button on eSupport page, I got following warning: "Access Denied - Insufficient Privileges A problem was encountered with your web account.

Support site lest me log a case but says my support is inactive. My license says its active. the Update killed my datalogger and I'm not sure of the case will even get reviewed.
