PTC Community Information Center

@vnamboodheri I have to say your website is really bad. It wastes me at least 0.5 hour and no result. After half an hour of retry post the new idea, it still fail to post. I wonder why you can’t post the new idea for me in your website if you are a staff of CodeBeamer.The screen shot of my post is as below. But it don’t have any feedback after clicking “Create”.  Why it doesn’t give any prompt if I miss something? 

Update:  The PTC Community is open for engagement.  We are temporarily operating on a pre-moderation mode: the Community team is reviewing your posts before publication while we are finalizing the platform for regular usage.   The idea portal is now live! Read more here We wanted to share some big news! Around April 6, we will be moving from our current Khoros Community Platform to the Gainsight Communities platform. Here’s what you need to know:  We’re excited about the careful integration of AI‑powered features that Gainsight offers to help community members—when they choose to use them—create meaningful, high‑quality posts. The Community Team will gain new in‑platform tools that allow us to deliver a more personalized experience for all community members.   We understand how important your community history and conversations are. Our technical migration experts are: Carefully transferring all existing PTC Community content. Testing the migrated content to ensure it displays corre

Came across a post with a broken attachment. Of course I can’t say if its a victim of the current migration from Khoros to Gains?? (forgot the name and its not showing at the bottom of the  page anymore) or if it was already broken in Khoros.Here is the link: https://community.ptc.com/mathcad%2D7/finite%2Delement%2Dmethod%2D2d%2Dand%2D3d%2D78436?postid=321465#post321456When I try to access the attached pdf in this post all I get is a new tab with this: 

The migration appears to have severely corrupted all posts containing embedded images. These images are now often only available and displayed in a reduced size and no longer enlarge when clicked.In principle, however, Gainsight does offer this feature, where images are stored in a larger format displayed in smaller size and then enlarge to full size when clicked.So the problem here isn’t that Gainsight is inferior, but rather an issue caused by an improper migration.My suspicion is that during the migration, only the smaller resized image files that Khoros used for display in the thread were transferred, and not the original image files in their original size.As long as the data from the old Khoros forum is still available, you should urgently save the larger images and attach them to the posts in Gainsight the correct way so that they can be displayed there in a reasonably readable (original) size when clicked.There are many threads and posts where the response consisted solely of sc

What happened to the ability to get a daily digest of all new activity instead instant activity?

Hi,Previously, in  Khoros Platform topics that had already been read were marked as read, is some similar action planned in Gainsight Platform?I am not sure, could be, unread messages were in bold and read ones were not...Thank you

In our internal company documentation, I was able to find 24 ideas that are no longer accessible under the previous URL.I’d have expected the migration team to set up a URL redirection so that users automatically land on the new page!Idea: Ability to copy component name from the assembly model tree Old URL: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Ability-to-copy-component-name-from-the-assembly-model-tree/idc-p/1043189 New URL: https://community.ptc.com/creo-parametric-ideas-180/ability-to-copy-component-name-from-the-assembly-model-tree-170254 Idea: Improve the Symbol Definition Interface Old URL: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/Improve-the-Symbol-Definition-Interface/idc-p/1053730 New URL: https://community.ptc.com/creo-parametric-ideas-180/improve-the-symbol-definition-interface-169904 Idea: Start with CreoView Lite and if needed toggle to get MCAD without exiting the tool Old URL: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-View-Illustrate-Schematics/Start-w

When I did a search in the community for my last name, it returned 280+ results. When I went to cycle through the pages to get to additional topics, it would only show me the same 10 results, even though the page number at the bottom was changing.

We’re launching the Community for full engagement on Monday, April 13, 2026. All public forums will be taken out of Read‑Only so users can post questions and comments. One exception: Product Ideas. Users will be able to comment and vote on existing ideas immediately, but posting new ideas will remain disabled until Monday, April 27.We need the extra time to recreate the idea submission form so contributors can provide detailed, structured feedback that product managers can act on. In the meantime, please share your ideas on the relevant discussion forum.  Be sure to continue following your post, a moderator will move your post to the appropriate Product Ideas portal once available.

The Khoros to Gainsight community platform migration will bring the following changes for the PTC Community.   Current Feature in Khoros Community Platform Expected Change In Gainsight Communities Accepted Solutions Now called Best Answers. We encourage original authors to continue marking the reply that best resolves their question—especially on our support boards.   Kudos Now called Likes. The Community Team is retiring the kudo terminology. "Likes" can be used to show support or agreement with a post.   Labels Now called Tags. "Tags" are predefined by the Community Team Tag subscriptions are not currently available Gainsight plans to introduce enhancements in future roadmap updates Videos (Community Platform Hosted) Gainsight Communities cannot host uploaded videos directly. All existing videos are being migrated to secure internal PTC servers The Community Team will manually re-add your videos into posts upon request or as soon as we

On (2) recent topics I used the translation button on the top right of the page. The first time, the title and the contents were translated.   On the post below, only the title was translated not the body of the post.    

The New community site has way too many bugs.  When you click on a topic it takes to you a blank page to fill in a message.Remove the 80 Character Barrier for String Parameters And the formatting of the screen is awful.   Everything is way too small and too disorganized.  The UI is not at all user friendly. Worst upgrade I have EVER seen.

No, this new look is more modern, but a terrible waste of real-estate. Please make sure that each topic consumes less space on the screen.   And why can't I paste a picture? And how do I get the body of a topic showing?   The attachment shows what I get to asee about this topic.     Luc

We are aware of an issue some users are having posting some attachments. We expect a solution soon but, in the meantime, posting attachments as .zip files appears to be an effective workaround. I will post updates here as we receive them. Thanks for your patience!

Keeping our community experience streamlined and making information easy to find is important to the PTC Community Team!   Until 2016, the community team would lock forum threads that were no longer active, adding a note "This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team..." to explain the closure due to inactivity. While this is no longer our practice, it was the policy across all Creo forums at the time it was implemented.   Some of these locked threads remain unanswered and offer little impact as knowledge resources. Unfortunately, they still appear in search engine and community search results, which can clutter results and make it harder for users to find helpful answers.   To improve the quality of search results, we’ve decided to archive these posts. Once archived, they will no longer be visible to the community. However, they will still count toward members’ statistics for badges and ranks. This archiving will only affect Creo forum posts w

I'm unsure if the Mathcad or Community Feedback board is the better place for this request.   I noticed @DJNewman has raised a subscript/superscript button request for the Communities (thanks, Dave 👍).  That got me thinking about a more Mathcad-specific requirement that *should* be easier to implement than MathML/Mathjax/Mathwhatever ...   Could PTC please add Mathcad Unimath Prime to the Community's available fonts?   Although there are several Roman fonts under the Font dropdown, Unimath is designed explicitly for Mathcad and the appearance of Mathcad Math expressions could be more faithfully rendered by having this font available.   Stuart   https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Community-Feedback/Request-for-Subscript-Superscript-Text-Formatting-Buttons/m-p/978091

Would it be possible to add the little eye ball (i.e. show what you have typed) behind the password portion of the login to the community. So many times I fat finger the keyboard (or have my cap locks on - Creo Habit), but you cannot click on the "show me what I have typed" icon before hitting the enter key.

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.
