PTC Community Feedback

Currently there is over 13,000 ideas and only 2 pages have been marked as "delivered".  PTC should be listening to their customers more.

I notice that the last couple of weeks the Mathcad section of this forum is spammed quite a lot. The postings are from accounts created just to make one single post and on a first quick glance seem to be a valid answer. Sometimes they also contain a more or less hidden link - apparently to entice other users to visit the linked pages. Is this problem already known to PTC? It should, as I used the "Notify Moderator" option a lot on some of those posts, asking for the postings to be deleted (with little success). Are others experiencing similar annoying issues in other parts of this forum? @Jaime_Lee  Is PTC already taking measures to cope with the problem? In any case, I couldn't find anything about it in the community announcements so far. Here are a few links to some of the posts I am talking about https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/MathCAD-Trial/m-p/700477/highlight/true#M193106 https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/hi/m-p/700492/highlight/true#M193107 https://community

I was just Kudo'ing someone and got this message:     What might have caused this?

The button "Start a Topic" in Creo Modeling Questions (link below) is disabled. Someone know the reason? I would have a question regarding Creo Parametrics to do.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/bd-p/CreoModeling   Thanks!  

I just wanted to add an idea and went to:   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/idb-p/creoparametric   and when trying to click "Suggest an Idea", I get the red circle with a slash (do not enter) symbol.   Is there a new place to suggest ideas? Thanks, Dale

Doesn't look like there is an idea space for the community as a whole so I am putting this here.   Sometimes I have a product idea that becomes current functionality despite it not getting a lot of votes and bubbling up to the top of the list (enough for a moderator to flag it as current functionality). For these cases it would be nice to be able to retire the idea or to flip the switch to "current functionality" if I know it has already been incorporated in a newer release.   To be clear the functionality would only be turned on for the original poster to retire his or her own idea.

Recently went to send someone a message and had the drop down from their name to the "Send Message" box. Typed my message and sent it. When I got a reply back, it wasn't from the person that I sent the message.   Just a found out the the "Send Message" button brings you to the messaging app within the software, it does not start a message from the person from which you clicked "Send Message"   Not sure if this is works as intended or it is a bug. Becareful, Dale

"Mathcad Support Center": https://support.ptc.com/support/mathcad_supportCenterOpt.htm

The "Resource for Reporting" topic found here is a page that was migrated from the old Jive community. It contains several links to attachments that no longer are valid, including ones like this:   https://community.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/8686-2-111791/ADMINISTRATIVE_Total%20EPMDocuments%20and%20File%20Size%20by%20Context.qml.zip   Were the attachments migrated over? If so, is there a way to update these links so they are valid again?  

If you get an email because someone commented on an idea you posted to the community, the contained link pointing to the comment will give an error message "Idea Not Found. The idea you are trying to access is not available.", if you are not logged in. I suggest to change the message to something more correct/obvious, so the users knows the idea is there, but that he has to login to access it.  

Dear Community, trying to suggest an idea how to improve Creo, I fail to "suggest an idea". When I move to the button, I get a forbidden-sign. Is that because of my status (newby / basic member)? Cheers Hauke

When getting an answer to a question that something cannot be done, can we have a "solution" be No Solution Available or some such designation (red X or a circle with a line through is instead of a green check mark) vs (1) Accepted Solution to a question that has been answered but not with a fix or work around.

Community,   I went to the eSupport page yesterday, and I noticed my posts from the Community were listed.  Is this a default where only I see my posts on the eSupport page?

Community,   How can I hide myself from public view?  Public view will show my recent posts, and I just figured out how to hid all my photos and images from the public.  But the topic of my posts, date-and-time, still shows up in public.       Thanks in advance.

Seriously, there's better places for these, especially since some of these techniques I was doing way back in 2000.....   That is all...

This is a test to see if the community is experiencing double posts this morning. I read it on someone else's post and on the humor post in PTCooler.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTCooler-OffTopic/2020-05-22-Friday-Humor-Over-designed/m-p/667431#M532

On top of the Mathcad community forum list is an empty picture that takes up a screen full of space. Please remove it, it's very annoying and could scare customers away!   Luc

Community,   Is there a way to hide my photos from public view?  Thanks in advance.

Did anyone else get this when they logged into this site?    

I've seen this twice in as many days.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Extrude-from-two-perpendicular-sketches/m-p/657597#M33884 In this post, I replied to the OP's reply to me.  When I posted my reply, it was attached to someone else's reply unrelated to what OP and I were discussing.  I tried to edit my reply and the editor said it was in reply to the OP which is what I intended.  Indeed, my reply says at the top "in response to nsgoldberg".   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/CREO-6-0-LATTICE-ERROR/td-p/657801 In this post, the OP replied to my reply.  Except his reply was attached to someone else's reply.  I don't think he mistakenly replied to the wrong person because it says right at the top of his post "in response to arames".   This is like when PTC scrambled the entire GD forum by repeatedly changing the software it ran on (3+ times now?).  Many comments in older posts are now out-of-order, discussions/threads c

Is everyone else still getting their emails from this site?  The last one I got was January 27.

@Jaime_Lee ,   I am reporting problem mentioned in Subject.   Go to https://community.ptc.com/t5/Detailing-MBD-MBE/Column-Model-Rep/m-p/646644 discussion and click -1-2.PNG link (https://community.ptc.com/t5/Detailing-MBD-MBE/Column-Model-Rep/m-p/646644/thread-id/28579?attachment-id=74355 ) You will see following error message: You have to download the picture to see it.   I can reproduce the problem in current Chrome and Firefox.   Best regards   Martin Hanak

For a couple of weeks we've been able to enjoy a beutifully working functionality on this forum:😁 Copy and direct past of pictures, or even Mathcad equations.🤗 All of a sudden it's gone.😞 What happened? Didn't we praise it enough, or was the forum software updated...   Luc

I wanted to add a post to the Windchill Tips board but the Start a Topic button is grayed out.  How come?
