PTC eSupport Help Discussions

Hi, For a long time now I cannot search *anything* on the support search page.Is there any reasoning behind it? Example: I search for "Windchill" and you would expect a result, right?I always get this screen, no matter how simple or complex the search is:  Regards,Steven Spierenburg

The case logger is missing the latest version of Creo Parametric again.  Someone should really figure out how to make this automatic instead of relying on someone remembering to manually update this each time a new release goes public.  Creo 8.0.1.0 was released over a month ago.    

The case logger 'attach files' page seems to have slowed down significantly over the last several weeks.  The files themselves upload fast enough but then the little wheel sits and spins at 100% for an extended period of time.  I'm guessing at least a full minute.  Not sure if there is virus scanning or something else happening on the backend, but I've gotten burned by this thinking the attachments were successfully added only to find out later they never actually finished.  Now I'm real careful to wait until the page actually says it's done, but it would be nice to understand why it's hanging at 100% now when it never used to do this.  Thanks.  

Has something changed with the daily support emails?  I haven't received any since last week Friday.  I just double checked and my subscription is still enabled and there is nothing in my spam or junk email folders.    

Updated Renewals NotificationsWe have received continued feedback from our partners and customers through the Renewals Survey and our quarterly PTC Customer Survey, that you haven’t been happy with our automatic renewal notifications.   The notifications we are sending at 90 resp. 60 days prior to each renewal have been widely perceived as not very helpful or even confusing.   As a result of your open feedback, we have taken a holistic view of the renewal notifications approach, we are now happy to inform you of a few improvements.    DIRECT PTC CUSTOMERS We are now providing direct PTC customers with key information to verify and to generate a PO (Ship to, bill to, Payment Terms, ACV….) Overall, the contact information has been placed much more prominent in key sections of the email so it’s much easier to reach out to the right contact for assistance.   CUSTOMERS WORKING WITH A PTC PARTNER If you are working with a PTC partner, you will still be receiving n

Since last Friday, I have been getting errors when I try to open an article from my emails in Edge. I can cut and paste the URL in Chrome and the article thread will open. Here is the message I get: Request Entity Too Large The requested resource/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/color-to-holes/m-p/738230does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

Please make this article available again.  Thanks.   https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS58783    

Hi Community,   I have a simple requirement to navigate to one of my menu items by using the data from the selectedRow in my grid widget. The requirement is to navigate to the Live Monitoring menu item on a new tab but when I select the targetWindow field to be either New or Replace the screen always go to the menu item Overview. This should the most simple of bindings but it only navigates to the correct place when i configure the targetWindow as popup, modal popup or full screen. Please help!

Unusable website! You can't find anything, you have to wander through the sections of the site in search of at least a hint of the necessary information. Can't download anything! It is written that a trial is available, I have registered, but it is impossible to download anything, there are always insufficient rights and DENIED.With such kind of policy, you will never acquire new users or customers. The site is terribly inconvenient! It's very hard to find needed info.How can I download TRIAL to try what is your product is???????P.S. Can't post this message several times! Because of error with LABELS.. NO USER FRIENDLY TERRIBLE INTERFACE!

EVERY time I search the search results show briefly and then are wiped out and replaced by results from a search done months ago. This makes eSupport useless. I have refreshed my browser and deleted all cookies. This seems to come from the PTC side.

When a user changed his email address using upper- and lowercase characters in his name (part before @), the system was not able to change it, we got this error only:     ERROR: E-mail address invalid.   Later on i got answer from PTC University supporter, they changed all characters of name to lowercase and then it worked.   I think PTC should correct here something - standard RFC say nothing about such limitations in name of e-mail addresses.

The Case Logger (https://support.ptc.com/support/feedback/web-account.htm) has a (too) simple GUI, more or less only Subject and one Comment field. No possibility to add a screenshot or upload something else.   Later on after Submit you get a simple text confirmation only, no case number or other useful information. I got also no email notification with new case number. I was not able to find this case when i searched for all my cases with all different case types. At end i need the help from our TSAM, she was able to find it and gave me the case number.   Now i was able to open and view the case. But there were no comments listed, no additional information visible, only the Subject (title) but not my text from Comment field. Later on PTC University supporter told me, this text is only PTC internal visible.   For me it seem there is some potential do to it better and customer friendly...

After I opened a support ticket, the browser jumped to the screenshot page. I don't know whether the case is logged or not and I can't track the case.

For the last several weeks, the PTC Technical Support Search has been replacing my current search term with an older search term.  This is repeatable across multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome) regardless of whether I delete my complete internet history or part of the cached settings.   In the image below, I searched for the text "MBR drive". You can see that as soon as the results page displays, the website replaces "MBR drive" with "wt.index.server.solrAdminPassword", a search I ran about a month ago.   How do I get the PTC website to retain and display the current search term?  

Something has changed for the worse with the case logger.  Every time I type a couple of characters the whole page hangs.  It seems to be waiting for information to come back from the server.  It does this when I attempt to select a product and continues to do this every time I try to add another word or two to the description box.  See attached video.  Thanks.   (view in My Videos)

For some reason Update Advisor is listing fixes that don't apply based on the selected *starting* version.  Here are two examples.  Both of these were already corrected *prior* to 7.0.3.0 which means they don't apply if upgrading from 7.0.3.0 to 8.0.0.0.       Example 1:   Example 2:
