PTC Community Information Center

We are rolling out a short promotional video to present the PTC Community and the Support Knowledge base. Enjoy!       

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.      

I started a new post in the PTC Community Feedback, but when I went to submit, it asked me to select a location. I expanded the PTC Community Information Center and there was able to pick PTC Community Feedback. Not sure why since I started there in the first place.      

I recently did a search on "Color ObJ". There were some good results, Not sure why some of the post are archived (unless it was from different forum structure and wasn't ported over to the new structure). But if it is archived, should there be a color change or other identifier that the post has been archived?   This post had been archived.   Thanks, Dale  

It looks like you are just responding with standard messages to threads that aren't marked as solved. This gives a very unprofessional impression, especially in this case where: • the question of the original poster is pretty clear as it was previously rated by you as 'well documented'.• the question is obviously not answered, and should actually be answered by a PTC employee, maybe a sales rep. Instead of that, you could have found a colleague, that can actually answer this question.   Success!Luc

Hello,I have used Creo and WCH ideas RSS but now seems to stop working. Am I correct?How to "subscribe" a list of new ideas only?Subscription of whole category gives me all posts/replies and I don't want them. If turn this off won't be notified for my own posts/replies so looks as not a proper solution to me.

Just perused the "How To's" to find out how to attached a file to your post. I know I've seen it in CAD area, but I thought I'd find it in the "How To's". Did I miss it?

This, right here:  --> Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.1. What product and version are you running?PTC Community 2024-01-082. What is the problem?For example, take a look at this screenshot of what are probably some very good ideas, chosen at random.  There are three lines of text previewed for each one.  How useful is the preview to you?  This is the result of the template for new ideas, which was created as part of the "great archive effort", also known as "resetting the clock on ideas that really should have been implemented by now".  We're now required to answer these questions, and while the information is useful, it is all collected as text and presented, along with the questions, all smashed together in the preview.  3. Are you using a workaround? If yes, please describe it.Either vote or ignore while staying uninformed about the actual idea, or load it in another tab.4. What is the use case fo

Hi, Everyone,   Looking for your Friday Joke?   Please check out the PTCooler under the new Networking and More Board.      

Has Creo+ been added to the dictionary? Every time I type it, I get a red squiggly line.

Within Codebeamer suggestion ideas are it is not possible to search, therefore a field in the top for searching would be great. Otherwise I have to manual went through a lot of ideas.

I was recently perusing product ideas and after sorting by date (instead of "Hot Ideas") started working my way down the ideas. I came across an idea, opened it and spent some time with it until I realized that the idea had been archived even though it was less than a month old. How bout changing the color of the word archived to red to more visually note this.    

Could there be an easier way to get to the duplicate idea of an idea that status is "duplicate" than have to click on the original post, scroll through the comment and then click on the link to the duplicate post? Could that link be posted in the header somewhere?

Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.1. What product and version are you running?CREO and Windchill. 2. What is the problem? If you Google "Solidworks dominating universities", the first result says, "Solidworks Education reaches the 2 million licenses.." from a 2015 blog. That number probably have increase by now.let's review a few paragraphs from the blog to see what the problems are...."....Simply put, SOLIDWORKS has changed how students and educators think about design"."For 20 years, SOLIDWORKS has created a generation of engineers that design new and innovative products. SOLIDWORKS is nurturing the skills and creativity of the next generation of designers and engineers by providing our tools to students."My problem is the long-term side effect where their mindset is so nurture and brainwash by Solidworks that they’re in a denial state to except CREO as a much more powerful tool.If you assign these people to a mandated project where

 Hello PTC Community, For several years now the PTC Community has been collecting product ideas and suggestions from customers. We currently host ideas boards covering all business segments and major products. Every Community member with a customer support contract can post an idea. However, all Community members can vote on published ideas. Beyond the practical details, your contributions need to be placed in the right context to better understand their value. Product ideas typically attract new users who are on their way to mastering a product and see an opportunity to improve it. Experienced users also post ideas. Such users have a deep understanding of the product—sometimes decades of industry experience and expertise. They are actively helping others on the Community and publish suggestions for the product managers. You might ask, what is the role of a  product manager? At PTC, they are responsible for the business strategy behind the product. They establish a roadmap for the deve

When customers log a support case on eSupport, they may be presented with the option of posting their question on the PTC Community. Please see the below FAQs about this option: Who is this for? The Community option only appears for customers with an active support contract when they are in the process of filing a support case on the eSupport portal. What PTC product?Currently, this option is available for specific technical areas and supported versions of Mathcad, Windchill PDM, and Creo Parametric. What happens to the question? The question is posted publicly on the respective Community forum.  Once on the Community, we recommend users to further review the post and add details as well as any attachment or screenshot if needed.

Hi,This is an old account from 2018 and an old company (with limited subscriptions).  I just have installed CREO last month and while doing so I created a new account within this, the PTC Community and it worked fine.  I inavertantly opened this old account, and I can't find a way to get to my new account.  It seems to auto login to this account no matter what I do (close browser, restart, etc).   How can I get the login to allow me to choose a different account, or switch to my other account.  You'll have to respond to my new email as the old one no longer works.Henry.Ballard@novumterra.biz

Whenever someone replies to any of my posts, the PTC Community site is automatically marking those replies as the solution and giving the post kudos. It is very frustrating having to go back and unmark posts as solutions, or remove kudos from replies that are unhelpful. I cannot find any option within my user settings to turn off this behavior. Any help?

I am getting an error on the PTC Community that says that a widget cannot be displayed when trying to post a new message to the Creo board:
