PTC Community Feedback

The search suggestions should probably align with PTC product names.  This one does not:        

Trying to search for "hide witness lines show arrows" returns results mostly centered around the word "with" - in 2022.   Googling "hide witness lines show arrows site:community.ptc.com" at least returns something relevant, even if not helpful.   Google is free - Creo costs me $3k a year - forgive me, but something doesn't add up here.   Sure you can "propose" changes - but PTC has never listened to anyone holding less than a few dozen seats and certainly doesn't care about anyone with only a handful - which seems to be much of the community. Maybe we'd be better served on stackexchange or something like that. I don't know the answer, but this community ain't it.

When searching for an idea, there is no indication whether the idea is active or archived or implemented until you have entered the post.  (see example images below) It would be helpful to include the status in the search window.   In the example image below, the second result in the search is exactly what I was looking for but upon clicking on the link, I learned that idea was archived, which makes it useless for my purposes.        

Specifically in Creo Parametric CAD   Within the customization forum mapkeys and UI customization controlled with the creo_parametric_customization.ui files should have a dedicated forums.   Currently mapkey and UI customization topics without the use of Toolkit are showing up in modeling and customization forums and there is no mapkey tag to make searches more efficient.

Is it possible to add additional information to the email headers? Currently, all email from addresses come through as: PTC Community <mailer@us.khoros-mail.com> What I would like to see is something like this: PTC Community-Creo <mailer@us.khoros-mail.com> or PTC Community-Windchill <mailer@us.khoros-mail.com> or PTC Community-MathCad <mailer@us.khoros-mail.com>   This would help organize the emails and allow us to open only those which pertain to subjects that we have knowledge of.

What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?Be able to add or correct information in the original post without re-posting that information as a comment. 

Is it just me who feels that the new default font and its grey color (at least it doesn't look black, maybe because its so thin) is less clear and less legible than it used to be?

I was recently viewing a Creo Parametric Tip. Is there anyway to adjust the speed of play to 1.25, 1.50, 1.75,... like you can with YouTube videos? I typically will watch something like this on either 1.25 or 1.50 speed. I'll slow down if someone speaks 500 words per minute with gusts up to 1000.

How exactly am I expected to exclude answers from 2014? 

Is the security alert for log4j still something that needs to be on the community? I'm just curious. Seems as if its "old news", in vunerability timeframes??    

With my post at PTCooler, https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTCooler-OffTopic/2021-12-02-Friday-Humor-on-Thursday-Engineering-school-failed-me/m-p/761523#M826    It's a 10 items countdown. When I pasted the post into the body, the software decided it needed to fix my numbering on the topics:     So 9 became 11, 8 went to 12, so on and so forth. Is this a bug in the software? Thanks, Dale

The login behaviour has changed so that after login we find ourself at the (rather useless) main start page and not in the forum we came from as it used to be. Thats very annoying! Could this be changed back to what it used to be. Even better as it used to be a much longer time ago when we could (without being logged in ) reply to a posting, automatically were redirected to the login mask and after login we found ourself exactly were we came from - the reply window and could immediately type our reply. I don't understand why usability gets worse with every change! It definitely should be the other way round. I understand the reason for the (far too large on computer screens) new login page - obviously a tribute to smartphone access and a sign that developers are too lazy (or don't have the resources) to maintain differently designed pages for different devices. This is seen quite often nowadays and we have to live with this I guess.But the place where we are redirected after the login

Some fairly short time after logging in, perusing the Community, deciding to work up a worksheet, I return to the board to find this (after a refresh):         Would it be possible to auto-login to the Community, as per the large majority of other boards that I use?   Stuart

I'm currently also trying to review all the published ideas (I'm on page 50 of 238). I also saw some of them that were repeated or could be merged, others already implemented, but I was not so methodic as @StephenW to take note of them and aid @olivierlp in the process. I'll try to do it going forward.

Please allow new ideas to be commented on for at least 4 years.  Post that are not even 6 months old are already being archived and not being considered for incorporation into PTC products.   who else is a little put off by PTC's new archiving rules?   Pro/e user since 1992

I understand PTC's motivation to reduce the clutter in the hopes of focusing on more value added activities, however I think it is unfortunate that we cannot reply, comment and make suggestions on the policy where it was posted (Read only), so will do so here.  I hope others will add their feedback here as well.  I sincerely hope this updated policy means that PTC has a renewed interest in implementing customer feedback...   It seems to me that the number of votes within a certain time period is an obvious place to start, however there are other factors I would really like to see addressed by PTC that may give it equal or greater importance. Idea activity Archiving policy should really account for commenting activity/discussions as well as the number of votes within a certain time period. For example, there may be lots of comments (and page hits) in the same year that it is decided to be archived, even though there may not be a lot of votes.  This activity should

What happened to the PA community board?  It is not listed in the MENU anymore.  The MENU has been updated recently.

I think the PA section is having some issues because, at least for me, it's not possible to subscribe to this forum so I haven't gotten any new emails in months.     Also, the message for the log4j problem is shown twice      

Hi,the PTC help pages and support articles are badly viewable under Firefox (low contrast).They are fine in Chrome.Any ideas on how to change this?  

Hi,   Under the old forum when I went to the Simulate/Analysis part of the forum one would perty much only see Simulate FEA and Mechanism Analysis related posts. How in this new forum do we return only Simulate FEA related questions/Enhancement requests?   Thanks, Don Anderson Creo User since 1994+

It is not possible to create an idea with the label 'simulate'.

I posted several product ideas today under the 'label' STRUCTURE It is clear now that this is essentially the same as the 'label' SIMULATE I cannot add 'SIMULATE' as another label 'SIMULATE' as a 'tag' is not permitted Therefore these will likely be missed by those who look for 'SIMULATE' How do I add this label?

Every time I attempt to post a product idea I get ... correct the highlighted errors and try again.Post flooding detected (community received posts of a unique message more than 1 times within 3,600 seconds)

I have been getting email notifications (for years), but they have stopped in the beginning of December. I have not (intentionally) changed my settings and when I checked they seemed correct. I am using gmail if that matters. Any suggestions? 

Is there a way a for a regular member to schedule a post? e.g. Writing a post today for the PTCooler to be posted on Friday morning 8:00 am EDT?   Thanks, Dale
