The Top Resources for Arbortext Users. If you're an Arbortext User, you should know about these resources:
Mailing list hosted by PTC/User
The PTC/User portal (http://www.ptcuser.org
) hosts the long-running Adepters mailing list. This list started in 1996 and has always been monitored by the PTC/Arbortext software engineering staff. Many long-time users and tools folks also regularly monitor the list. If you have a question, it's a really good resource as questions generally get answered within 24 hours. Beginning and advanced questions encouraged.
