PTC Community Information Center

As mentioned in the LiveWorx community board before it was retired, the LiveWorx Community current content has been moved to Professional Networking board.   You can also keep up to date with LiveWorx on the  LiveWorx website.   https://www.liveworx.com/

At the PTC User Community Creo page, how do you find the "new" post in the Creo Ideas section.   If you click on the Date/Time, it brings you to the latest new post, but if there are multiples, how do you find the others?   Going into that section and selecting New Ideas from the drop down (still not sure why this isn't the default) you can see if there are any new ones, but again if there are multiples, this will not find them all.   I think that someone has made a comment on an idea, but that doesn't "bubble" it up on any of the three boards - New Ideas, Top Ideas, & Hot Ideas (still don't know the definition of "Hot").   How do you find the missing new post/comment without subscribing?   I learned how to mark the read here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Community-Feedback/Mark-as-Read/m-p/499666#M301   Thanks, Dale

  Thank you for your interest.  The Servigistics Community content has been removed.  SPM Users (including MCA and Xelus) and SPP Users are invited to join our private online user groups.  To do so please send a private message to the @thartwell.          

Hi, Everyone,   We need to continue to streamline conversations in our community.   Please go to the LiveWorx: Digital Transformation Conference site for the most up to date information on LiveWorx and feel free to connect with other LiveWorx attendees on the Professional Networking board.   Thank You!   Jaime Lee

Man, I REALLY don't like the format of this forum anymore.  Can't find anything.  REALLy hope they resurrect the photo album section, as I think it's great for displaying techniques.   Anyone have any answers to what happened?

There was a topic that showed this with an accepted solution. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Welcome-How-To-s/Finally-Mark-as-read-is-available/m-p/475449 Was this for an individual topic or is there a way to do this in bulk. i.e my Creo Modeling Questions shows 106722 new post. All of the "new" ones are extremely old questions from the migration. Is there away to go in and en mass mark these all read?

I've noticed that some rather old posts are suddenly showing up in the discussion boards. For example, this one: Old 32 bit vs 64 bit Question It's understandable when someone has responded to the question, but not when, like this one, there are no responses since it was first asked in 2013. What in the world is causing this to happen?  

Since the Reply button has been disabled in the Community Announcements area I posted here.   Per this announcement: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Community-Announcements/New-Menu-Style-Coming-Soon-to-a-PTC-Community-Near-You/m-p/497259#M19   Will the burger menu show up no matter how wide the browser is?  Right now it only shows up if we make the browser narrow enough. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Community-Feedback/Group-list-is-too-long/m-p/486753#M11

How does it come that from time to time the last days we see the overview list of post in different looks. The new one would not be so bad if it would not waste that much space. Guess the number of posts visible at once could easily be tripled and the link to jump immediately  to the first unread message is a nice feature.   But, if  PTC is experimenting with different designs, why do you do it with the live forum? See the attached pictures to see the difference.  

Did we lose this functionality over the weekend? I noticed that all the modeling questions were green instead of grey. Then after reading those since Friday and refreshing, they stayed green and were not grey.   Also, the scroll bar disappears after awhile and you have to move the mouse to "wake it up" before you can scroll with the middle mouse button.   I tried to add this to anther discussion, but could not find a reply button: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Welcome-How-To-s/Finally-Mark-as-read-is-available/m-p/475449#M72   Also, replied to one in a Mathcad board not realizing in was in Mathcad (because here is a related topic popped up and I clicked on it not know it was bringing me to a different board). https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad-Questions/New-Posts-mark-read-unread/m-p/128701#M50661   Thanks, Dale

UPDATE When pasting a link to the PTC Help Center, the link is being modified and Google Analytics parameters are being added (_ga=xxxxx). This results in a 404.   Old message Whenever I paste a link to a website, that link is being modified when I hit "Post".   www.google.com (open this link and look at what is added after the .com) http://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/usascii/#page/fundamentals%2Fprogram%2FAbout_Pro_PROGRAM.html "&_ga=2.97537119.1141601435.1508137266-115588072.1484289270" is being added after the link, which results in a dead link (404 - Sorry, page not found)   https://stackoverflow.com/ (no garbage is added) https://www.ptc.com/ (garbage is added) https://www.ptc.com/en/about

We are 2 members of this portal. Using same computer. Impossible to change username... Signin : last user. sign out.... signin... No question, only the same. Is it normal ? Is there any solution ? Thanks GB

For kicks, I went to the PTCooler (off topic site) and saw that it has (3) tags for humor. 90 % of my posts in that (3) pages of stuff has humor for a tag. Where does the label at the top only show (3) tags?   And how you post pictures? I tried using the snipping tool, but that doesn't see to work.

When commenting on an older idea, it no longer bubbles to the top with the new 3-way listing of ideas. How does this comment get seen by the broader community if it doesn't bubble up to the top?   ... or maybe it is and I just can't see it?   In a way related to: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Ideas/Creo-Ideas-be-defaulted-to-quot-New-Ideas-quot-not-quot-Hot/idi-p/478913   This is the idea I commented on: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Ideas/Dual-Dimension-snap-to-space-between-primary-and-secondary/idc-p/497187/jump-to/first-unread-message#M10030   Thanks, Dale

How can I display the time in the 24h notation? I don't want to use AM/PM.

Size of ojbects in contrast to available space was one of the first issues noticed when Lithium was introduced at PTC. Now the browse menu on my machine, with the browser window occupying maximum vertical screen space, looks like this: What am I missing further down the list? More importantly: Please do something about these ridiculously large item slots.   Success! Luc

Moved to to Creo Parametric.

Is it me doing something wrong or is it simply not possible to do. I tried to embed a video in an answer in a thread and all I get embedded in the post is the message "Unable to play video. Please try again later." When I upload the file I get no error message and am simply informed that depending on the size of the video it may take some time until I see it. The Video was created with Mathcad 15 and I know that we had problems with those files in Jive because of the very old video codec used by Mathcad. This was unpleasant but at least we got an error message in Jive. Can anybody confirm that its not possible to embed videos from Mathcad without converting them before uploading? I am embedding AND attaching the video in question here (attaching should work OK and is the better option anyway): Unable to play video. Please try again later.(view in My Videos)

我们现在有一个APP，然后我们想与Thingworx联系，但是我们需要找到一个Thingworx人员列表，但我们不知道它在哪里。还想问一下如何制作一个由Thingworx用户创建的页面，通常是Composer创建的，如何制作一个注册的用户页面。

I'm not sure when, but sometime in the past few weeks browser based spell checking started working again, at least in Chrome.  I also see that there's actually no Spell Check button here so it looks like it was Lithium support or @Jaime_Lee and her team rather than a change in Chrome.   Thank you!

What happened to the Creo elements Direct topic?  It was under browse and now it is gone.

Wishing the PTC Community a wonderful 2018!          

How do I find old product idea, http://communities.ptc.com/ideas/3423

@Jaime_Lee,   I have two complaints 🙂   1.] When I reply to discussion, it is not possible to attach more than 1 file. I have to attach 1-st file, Post reply, Edit reply, attach 2-nd file, and so on.   2.] When I attach wrong file to my reply, I cannot remove it. I have to Post reply, Edit reply, remove attached file.   Please implement better attachments management.   Best regards   Martin Hanak

It appears like old items of the Jive forum are being moved to the Lithium forum (at last?). What's bad about it is that these items, dating back to 2012 and so, are on the top of the list as if they were entered today. This disrupts the chronological flow of discussions. Is there something that can be done about that?   Luc
