Have a terrific weekend:   One day, Jesus said to his disciples: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9." St. Thomas looked very confused and asked St. Peter: "What does the teacher mean?" St.Peter replied: "Don't worry - it's just another one of his parabolas."   Q: What's a polar bear?A: A rectangular bear after a coordinate transform.

Submit a LiveWorx presentation proposal  here   Hi, PTC Community Members!   So, I jotted down a few notes on why I think you should try to become a presenter next year at LiveWorx 2019:   1.  Selected as a presenter, you are able to share something you learned or are passionate about with your peers!  <PTC provides professional coaching ahead of time.  This is a HUGE benefit that can be used BEYOND LiveWorx and into your work life (or stand up comedy side gig) as well>.   2.  Awesome content provided by industry experts all in one location! <This is a given...our LiveWorx team is already planning amazing content!>   3.  It was super fun when some of the community members stopped by the PTC Community booth to say hello  during the conference.  <Did you know that selected presenters get a complimentary All Access Pass valued at $1499 to attend LiveWorx?>   4.  Your PTC Community MGR was ava

Be blessed, stay safe, and have a terrific weekend during the coming of the fall season.   A mathematician, an engineer, and a chemist were walking down the road when they saw a pile of cans of beer. Unfortunately, they were the old-fashioned cans that do not have the tab at the top. One of them proposed that they split up and find can openers. The chemist went to his lab and concocted a magical chemical that dissolves the can top in an instant and evaporates the next instant so that the beer inside is not affected. The engineer went to his workshop and created a new HyperOpener that can open 25 cans per second. They went back to the pile with their inventions and found the mathematician finishing the last can of beer. "How did you manage that?" they asked in astonishment. The mathematician answered, "Oh, well, I assumed they were open and went from there."

Hi there, How can I add and remove row from an editable grid? I wan to place a button for "Add a new row" and also to "Delete the selected row" button in the mashup. Thanks in advance

Be blessed and have a great weekend.... and if you are on the east coast of the US, stay dry.   Math and Alcohol don't mix, so... PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DERIVE        

Have a terrific weekend. Enjoy time with the ones you love. Be blessed:  

For those in the States, have a terrific long Labor Day weekend. Be Blessed.   An engineer thinks that his equations are an approximation to reality. A physicist thinks reality is an approximation to his equations. A mathematician doesn't care.   Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.    

There will be a Creo and augmented reality event at Wichita State on August 30th, hosted by Elite Aerospace group: https://elitedigitalenterprise.com/wichita-ar-and-rug   We'll be meeting to bring together the local users and discuss topics such as: Creo Thingworx Windchill Vuforia

Have a terrific weekend and be blessed.   What did the tectonic plates say to each other after the earthquake?     It's not my fault man!   Why was the thermometer smarter than the graduated cylinder?    He had more degrees.   A physicist gets pulled over. The Cap says, "Do you know how fast you were going!?"    Physicist says, "No, but I know exactly where I was."

Be blessed and have a terrific weekend....   What do Batman and 15 Sodium atoms have in common?                 NaNaNaNaNa NaNaNaNaNa NaNaNaNaNa BATMAN!   Why did the electron throw up?                 He was spinning.   Man I really like that band 1023MB. You probably haven’t heard of them though.                 They didn’t have a gig yet.

So, I took my girls to "work" with me.  Here is how we did PTC Family Day! Some cool science experiments with the Acton Discovery Museum, learned from Marketing Director, Mark Gallant, how ThingWorx makes it easy to make giant Oreos? (not really-- cool demonstration of what IoT and AR can do on a Factory floor!)    and Silly hats.  Of course, the day would not be complete for my dog lovers without hanging out with PTC Social DeAnna and meeting some PTC Dogs!  What kind of "Family Day" events do you do at your workplace?  Please post a reply.

There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator.     Have a terrific weekend, Dale

Be blessed:  

It will be a hot one here this weekend. I hope you can enjoy time doing what you like.   Rugged. (Needs major equipment to lift it.) Robust. (More than rugged.) Light weight. (A little less than rugged.) Fax it to me. (I'm too lazy to write it down.) I haven't gotten your email. (It's been days since I've checked my email.)

Enjoy time with the ones you love this weekend.   Tell us your interpretation. (Let's hear your bull.) We'll look into it. (Forget it! We've got so many other problems already, we'll never get to it.) No maintenance. (If it breaks, we can't fix it.) Low maintenance. (If it breaks, we're no likely able to fix it.) All new. (None of the parts are interchangeable with the previous design.)   Thanks, Dale

I moved your post to the ThingWorx developers area for better visibility.

Have a great time.... and those at LiveWorks - safe travels.   We're preparing a report with a fresh approach. (We just hired a couple of kids out of college.) Preliminary operational tests proved inconclusive. (It blew up when we flipped the switch.) Test results proved extremely gratifying. (Yahoo! It actually worked.) Please read and initial. (We want to spread around the responsibility.) Tell us what you are thinking. (We'll listen, but if it disagrees with what we've already done or are planning to do, forget it.)   Thanks, Dale

So...does this mean we really really really want it to be 45° but only .250 ish otherwise we would have said 45° x .250x.250x.250, right?
