PTC Community Information Center

When you are on a page with a new post and the page automatically brings the post up to the bottom of the thread, could there also be a translation icon at the bottom of the page (for translating the whole post) from the bottom.      

(Jaime Lee-Editor Note: Some community members have reached out to our moderators asking who is "Michael" and why he looks like he is providing AI generated answers. The Community Team thought we should let Michael tell us what this is all about and how CreoVerse is helping community members find some  solutions to their PTC Creo questions).   How and why I created CreoVerse by Michael P. Bourque   With over two decades of experience using PTC's Creo Parametric and its predecessor, Pro/ENGINEER, and having served as Vice President of PTC University, I have accumulated a vast repository of knowledge. Despite this experience, I often found myself spending excessive time searching for specific pieces of information scattered across my hard drives. This frustration led to the creation of CreoVerse, an AI-driven assistant designed to streamline my workflow and make information easily accessible as part of an ongoing personal research project.   Why I Created CreoVerse1.

Beginning this month, we will launch a new community archiving program that targets any forum posts over 15 years old.   Why archive? The PTC Community has some content that is over 20 years old! It is best practice, especially for a technology related community like this one, to clean out this older outdated content. This way we can ensure search results aren't cluttered with old irrelevant information and prevent community members from being misled by posts that are no longer accurate.   What will happen to the archived forum posts? These posts will be moved to an archive where they will no longer be accessible by community members. They will no longer be searchable or indexed by search engines. However, nothing will be deleted, and they will be recoverable.   Will user statistics be affected? No. Your post count, kudos, accepted solutions and any badges or ranks you've earned will not be affected by this. If one of your posts is archived, it will still be counted. &nb

Also add a subcategory. For instance has Cero many stuff that is separated.I am using very often help regarding MACHINING/Manufactung.Now I use the Filters, but still.. much Stuff I do not need is showed there.. because I can not filter for only machining/manufacturing.So a category with all those sub-categories that are in the "Help" already could also applied here.Look here: It is all under Creo right now.. And then there would be still many subcategories..BUT if you use less than 6 phrases, it really uses an AND concatenation.if you put it into: >"this would" machining< it is looking for the exact phrase AND machining in one thread.

In January, we introduced on-demand translation to the community. Over the last few months, we have expanded this feature to more boards and discussion styles. It is now available on all forum, tips, and idea boards.   Today, we are pleased to announce the addition of search translation. Here's how it works:   Log in: Make sure you are logged in to your account. Select your language: On either the search page or the header search bar, select your preferred language.  Enter your search: Type your search query in your selected language. Translation process: Your search will be translated to English and then back to your selected language after the search is complete. The results will also be translated to your selected language. View results: Select one of the search results. The post or article will be translated to the language you selected as well. We hope you find this new feature useful and encourage you to try it out. Let us know what you think!

We want to help our users to ask questions in a way that makes it easy for other users to answer. In the words of one of the PTC Community champions. @Michael, here is how to ask a good Creo question that will improve your Community experience.    Please see here for more details.     (function() { var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-6370163325112w960h540r246'); var videoEl = wrapper ? wrapper.querySelector('video-js') : null; if (videoEl) { if (window.videojs) { window.videojs(videoEl).ready(function() { this.on('loadedmetadata', function() { this.el().querySelectorAll('.vjs-load-progress div[data-start]').forEach(function(bar) { bar.setAttribute('role', 'presentation'); bar.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true'); }); }); }); } }})();(view in My Videos)

We are aware of a bug which prevents attaching PRT files to community posts. We are waiting for a fix from the community platform vendor.   In the meantime, you can use a ZIP file to attach PRT files. We will post any updates here.

我们迫不及待向您介绍 PTC 社区按需翻译功能！这项新功能旨在促进多语言对话，为世界各地的用户带来更多价值。   使用案例：想象一位来自中国的用户用中文提问。另一位来自美国的用户可以将问题翻译成英文，并用英文进行回复。中国的用户可以阅读中文回复，并反过来用中文进行回复。循环往复，不断沟通。   使用方法：查看对话时有两个选项：翻译所有对话或翻译此消息，如下图所示：   此外，在查看某个板块时，您还可以选择翻译所有对话的标题:   作为开始，我们计划提供四种语言的翻译。您可以将任何语言翻译为韩语、简体中文、日语和英语。如果该初始计划取得成功，我们计划在未来进行扩展以囊括更多种语言。   欢迎尝试并与我们分享您的想法（使用您的母语！）。PTC Community Feedback - PTC Community

Would it be possible to add another header/filter underneath the group sub-heading? Sometimes posts are moved from one category to another and may get buried in the transition if they are 5+ days old.

They have received the payment and will not be taking any calls.  

PTC 커뮤니티를 위한 온디맨드 번역을 소개하게 되어 기쁩니다! 이 새로운 기능은 다국어 대화를 촉진하고 전 세계 사용자에게 더 많은 가치를 제공하는 것을 목표로 합니다.   아이디어: 한국의 사용자가 한국어로 질문을 한다고 상상해 보십시오. 미국의 다른 사용자는 이를 영어로 번역하고 영어로 답변을 작성할 수 있습니다. 한국어 사용자는 한국어로 답변을 읽고 한국어로 회신할 수 있습니다.   작동 방식: 대화를 볼 때 두 가지 옵션이 있습니다. 아래와 같이 전체 대화를 번역하거나 단일 메시지를 번역합니다.     또한, 게시판을 볼 때 모든 대화의 제목을 번역하는 옵션도 있습니다.     처음에는 4개 언어로 번역을 제공할 계획입니다. 모든 언어에서 한국어, 중국어 간체, 일본어 및 영어로 번역할 수 있습니다. 이 초기 서비스가 성공적이면, 향후 더 많은 언어를 확장하여 포함할 계획입니다.    온디맨드 번역 기능을 사용해 보시고 의견이 있으시면 한국어로 알려주십시오.

We are excited to introduce on-demand translation for the PTC Community! This new feature aims to facilitate multilingual conversations and bring more value to users around the world.   Here is the idea: imagine a user from Japan asks a question in Japanese. Another user from the United States can translate it into English and write a response in English. The Japanese user will be able to read the response in Japanese and, in turn, reply in Japanese, etc.    Here is how it works: when viewing a conversation, there are two options: translate the entire conversation or translate a single message, as shown below.     Additionally, when viewing a board, you have the option to translate the titles of all conversations.   Initially, we plan to offer translation to four languages. You can translate from any language to Korean, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and English. If this initial offering proves successful, we plan to expand and include addi

We should have subscript / superscript text formatting buttons for Community posts that add <sub></sub> / <sup></sup> tags, respectively, to a selected piece of text. This would work similarly to existing shortcut buttons like Bold and Italics. It would probably be part of the extended toolbar.   This would be particularly useful on the Mathcad board.

In 2024, we updated our moderator line up.    Our newest moderator doing fantastic work is @Catalina   Catalina joins stellar teammates Vivek @vnamboodheri and Anurag @@anursingh    We appreciate that our moderator team is important to our overall community experience.  We would be lost without our moderators!   @vnamboodheri   Tenure at PTC:  11 Years Role:  Technical Support + Moderation Region:  North America and Asia Pacific   Fun Activities/Hobbies: I enjoy web series like Sci-fi and suspense thrillers. I love going on long drives (like 1 side 1250 kilometres on my Royal Enfield Classic bike to nearby places and trips from Pune, Maharashtra to my home at Cochin Kerala, India. @anursingh   Tenure at PTC:  6 Years Role:  Technical Support + Moderation Region:  North America and Asia Pacific   Fun Activities/Hobbies: My preferred Netflix viewing titles include comedies, thrillers,

Tags are tools for organizing and filtering community topics.  Tags are chosen by the author of a new topic from a predefined list. Each board has a list of tags created by the community team. For example, when you post a question on our Mathcad board, you can select a tag to indicate that the question is about installation. You should chose at least ONE tag. We recommend to apply only one tag, 2 or 3 maximum. Other users can use this tag when filtering posts. To summarize Tags:Can only be chosen by the author of the topic Come from a predefined list 

When entering a search on the forum, you can add various filters.   When you chose "author", there is a drop down arrow. Could you make the author of the search for the post (myself) automatically the first drop down for this category? Sometime when trying to help others, I remember either a comment I made on someone else's post or a question I posted some time ago.

Hi PTC Community!   Over the last few months, the PTC Community Team has been working behind the scenes towards improving how we recognize your contributions to our community.   Starting Monday, the 4th of November we will be updating our ranking system for a better user experience related to your participation in the PTC Community. The new structure aims to reflect what we care most about: engagement. While we appreciate everyone signing up for the Community, visiting, and utilizing the community content that is shared, we are now placing more emphasis on those who contribute actively and accurately.   You will start noticing some shifts in ranking over the next few days while the system takes effect. These changes are designated to offer a boost and well-deserved recognition to those that help others with advice, workarounds, and alternate solutions. Even those that regularly spark great and fruitful conversations standout to both community members and the community ma

It looks like there is currently no method to like someone's comment in the product idea category.  Can we please have this back, or let me know how to do it?   E.g. under the following product idea, I cannot like / Kudo any of the comments to show that I agree without having to comment to each one. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Ideas/Improve-Relations-Editor/idi-p/457970  

When orchestrating a search within the Community and filtering by author is desired, would it be possible to make the individual searcher the first thing in the drop down unless you start typing in the keyword box? Frequently I am searching for something I have posted in the past and cannot remember what the solution was and I am trying to find the post that I had originally created.
