Could there be an easier way to get to the duplicate idea of an idea that status is "duplicate" than have to click on the original post, scroll through the comment and then click on the link to the duplicate post? Could that link be posted in the header somewhere?

Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.1. What product and version are you running?CREO and Windchill. 2. What is the problem? If you Google "Solidworks dominating universities", the first result says, "Solidworks Education reaches the 2 million licenses.." from a 2015 blog. That number probably have increase by now.let's review a few paragraphs from the blog to see what the problems are...."....Simply put, SOLIDWORKS has changed how students and educators think about design"."For 20 years, SOLIDWORKS has created a generation of engineers that design new and innovative products. SOLIDWORKS is nurturing the skills and creativity of the next generation of designers and engineers by providing our tools to students."My problem is the long-term side effect where their mindset is so nurture and brainwash by Solidworks that they’re in a denial state to except CREO as a much more powerful tool.If you assign these people to a mandated project where

The page is greyed out for me, I want to post a suggestion to add a config option to automatically insert a break in drawing dimension witness lines.

Is there an ObjectAda community?  ObjectAda still seems very invisible on the PTC website. Jim

Hi,This is an old account from 2018 and an old company (with limited subscriptions).  I just have installed CREO last month and while doing so I created a new account within this, the PTC Community and it worked fine.  I inavertantly opened this old account, and I can't find a way to get to my new account.  It seems to auto login to this account no matter what I do (close browser, restart, etc).   How can I get the login to allow me to choose a different account, or switch to my other account.  You'll have to respond to my new email as the old one no longer works.Henry.Ballard@novumterra.biz

Whenever someone replies to any of my posts, the PTC Community site is automatically marking those replies as the solution and giving the post kudos. It is very frustrating having to go back and unmark posts as solutions, or remove kudos from replies that are unhelpful. I cannot find any option within my user settings to turn off this behavior. Any help?

I am getting an error on the PTC Community that says that a widget cannot be displayed when trying to post a new message to the Creo board:    

Recently posting an idea to the PTC Creo Ideas page and was getting an error stating to check the highlighted portion and fix..   What I didn't realized is that I had to scroll down quite a bit to find the errors on the bottom right of the page below the screen window that I was filling out for the idea.   Not very intuitive that the "error" is off the screen and I have to scroll down to find it. It would be better if this error was visible or if you click on the error, it show you the "highlighted" error. Thanks, Dale          

On a side note, when entering my question I got the error message as below. I could not identify any "highlighted" error and had to guess that I have to select a location first. An actual highlighting of that button or any kind of hint in that direction would be very helpful.   Thank you Benny    

Is there an option we can toggle to permanently hide the community tip banners that now appear at the top of the boards?

After hoovering over a community members id, a pop-up shows up with (2) options: Send message or View profile. (I'll use one of my older post as an example.)     If you click on Send Message, you are brought to the messaging part of the app, but it hasn't started a new message, also you still have to search and find the member id you just clicked on in order to send a message.       I would think that a new message would be started and addressed to the appropriate ID.

Hello, is it possible to download the training from ELearning? 

It would be nice if the signature line would be populated in the text box as soon as a message is started so that it could be modified or removed as desired, similar to how signatures are created in Outlook.  

I tried to post a new idea to the Creo Cad board and received this error message:     This is the first Idea post I have done in a long time.

Hello Olivier,It's a pity that customers have to fight (or beg) for possibilities to be more efficient and that you archive ideas instead of collecting and clustering them. A possible negative interpretation of that practice would be: Archiving ideas that have not enough votes after a certain period of time is a way to get rid of problems that your customers have. The suggestion would help every single user that works with family tables.   Unlock quickly a full family table (instances + ge... - PTC Community

Why can i not suggest an idea for the PLM Windchill product? I work at my company with Windchill and support the colleagues with question regarding the software. I would like to suggest improvement when i see opportunity or my colleagues suggest them to me.The button is not active.        

My reply via email this morning looks like its in a foreign language.  

Hello, I have noticed that often people rarely use the Insert/Edit code sample in the thingworx developer forum. Either do not know how to do it (or ignore it), so I was thinking that perhaps it would be good to put a sticky post letting forum users know that the functionality exist.Or move the button from behind the three dots to the first "row" so it is easier to find.Perhaps even change the icon to just say "code" or something. Other possibility could perhaps be some type of automatic code detector(?), don't know how feasible that is though. Regards,Jens

Hi All, Can any of you point me to the key to the tags that are applied to us in the community? They look like Number-Mineral, for example I am 7-Bedrock, but I haven't found an explainer for what they mean. Thanks guys!

Obviously I don't understand how this Community works. It is not clear in the slightest     

I tried updating the following document with some additional information: Creo/ProE Drawing Repeat Region/BOM Syntax...This ... - PTC Community Although I could edit it the website wouldn't let me save it and got the following error: "Message cannot exceed 20,000 characters." Yet, when I copied and pasted the contents into Word and count the characters I get 3725 characters (including spaces) When I look at the "source code" in HTML I get 80,287 characters (including spaces)   Based on this I am thinking that it is rejecting my edits due to HTML being ridiculously verbose.  Is this intended?  Can the limit be increased?  Can you have it count text only instead of HTML code? Anything else that can be done?   It is noteworthy that I only added a few lines and it was otherwise as the post existed prior to me touching it today.

Anyone else seeing this?  Their username randomly changing to some text string?  PTC STILL doesn't have a fix for this.

Hello everyone!How do I change my email in PTC Community Settings? it seems impossible!Thanks for answering me.

I have twice this week posted email responses to posts using Gmail from and neither response has shown up in the Creo Parametric forums.   Can someone confirm reply via email is working as designed?
