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?

Came across this today on the SolidWorks website.  I hope some day PTC gets to the point where they seriously consider ALL product ideas, not just those that hit a certain threshold.  Today the product ideas feel like a big black hole.  For the vast majority of ideas we have no idea if a product manager has seen the idea, what they think of it, or how it fits into the roadmap.   Every year, our users submit thousands of enhancement requests for our solution portfolio. We review all user requests, prioritize the ones we will work on and release enhancements with our annual major release in September as well as service packs throughout the year.  (emphasis mine)

On my mobile phone currently there is no letter sybmol to access the private messages (https://community.ptc.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage). I assume, this is a general limitation on mobile devices. Could you please change this behaviour, so that I can easily access my private messages on mobile devices too?

This is excellent news!  Thank you for the effort put into making this available.  

I was wondering how often this new feature updates on your home page here.  I've been seeing the attached everytime I login, while the subject it mentions has not had a new comment since 8-15-2019.  I login here regularly, if that matters.  

I very seldom go to the PTC Community Home page, but when I did, this was waiting for me. Lukas had replied several hours earlier, and Stephen about a week ago. Why would this still be there after I have already gone to the topics from the little "bell" on the top of the page?  

Hi,   I wanted to create a Up/Down functionality on grid as I can swap the ordering of rows in grid on clicking of button can somebody please help me out how to create a service for this?   Thanks & Regards, Khushboo jain, Mestech Services Pvt Ltd

Why does it take so long for videos to be viewable? I assume it's in moderation... If it's gonna take more than a little short time to get thru moderation, you might as well just not allow video upload, nobody is waiting 30+ hours for help or to help someone with a video!   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Creo-3-Strange-behaviour/m-p/610689#M32197   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Simulation/did-you-know-pulley/m-p/610942#M7690  

There have been 2 problems for starting a topic that I think need addressing:   Problem Possible Solutions   1 Start a topic button is not available on every topic section. a) Make available on any page on PTC community. b) Make available on all the Label pages (e.g. "Detail Drawings") when you drill down into a topic.   2 Labels are required but no suggestions are given as to what is available a) click on field and opens up a window with all possible labels hierarchically organized and allows the user tor drill down b) Change Labels to a drop down list. c) Change Labels so auto fills as you type (this would be more useful than current but you still wouldn't know what is available unless you went through all the letters of the alphabet!)   3 What are message tags vs labels a) Hover over text to provide explanation. b) help button to click that takes to a page with explanation.  

If we can still create Documents on this website can you let me know how?   Thanks, Lawrence

While searching the Windchill community for posts about orgadmin

What, is it like your credit score, and just as arbitrary and unfathomable?  Does anyone know?  Just curious....

Is it just me or do other people experience the same phenomenon? The last few day very often when answering a question (Mathcad forum) I see either an "unexpected error" when trying to post my answer or an error is flagged and I am advised to correct the highlighted but there is nothing highlighted. Additional tries to post all have the same effect. Trying to post again a few minutes later usually works OK. Very annoying - especially as it happens quite often the last week. Today a new effect: While trying to embed a picture in my post after selecting a pic in the popup up window I get an "unknown error" and so can't push the "Done" button to complete the action. Again a few minutes later it works OK.  

I just replied to a post via email (sent from my email at 2:28pm cst on 12/7/2018). A few minutes later, after I got logged in to the community, I looked at my post and it was dated yesterday...so my reply is almost 21ish hours before the message I replied too. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Assembly-Design/Problem-in-selecting-parts/m-p/584298/highlight/true#M19396  

I tried to post an idea to Creo and I got "An Unexpected Error has occurred."   I tried both in Chrome and with IE and I received the same message. Has anyone else tried recently?  Looks like the last idea was last Friday.

The board names have improved significantly, instead of just "more" you've given us much more descriptive names. The sidebar name is still "more" .   And as been mentioned before, it's not helpful to have "ideas" links from other software...In the image below, we are in the Creo Parametric board, but we have sidebar links to ideas for Parametric (good) , Direct (BAD), and addtl creo (BAD). If you are posting in Parametric (or just browsing parametric) those links seem out of place.      

A couple of the sub boards need descriptions.   "Customization" should have a description that it's about Jlink, Toolkit, etc. rather than custom installs, configuration, templates & drawing formats and things like that.  That would go under "System administration".   The Creo Parametric Tips section should make it clear that these are tips from PTC staff rather than a place to share tips.  At least that's what I assume it is since posting new topics seems to be disabled.
