Exploder Changes

     

New Chat Exploder, Anti-Spam Measures
We're going to implement some enhancements to the exploder service. First, we are adding a new "chat" board for discussions of non-technical issues. The new board, "etc," will provide a venue for people to post messages that would be considered "off-topic" on the other boards. You can sign up for this board through the member portal.

We're also modifying slightly the format of outgoing exploder messages to eliminate a potential avenue for disclosing member e-mail addresses. These changes will be implemented by the end of January. Thanks to Olaf Corten for his suggestions.

PTC’s informative, technical Webcasts are perfectly tailored to your skill level and your needs. Whether you’re a seasoned CAD power user, or totally new to 3D design, you’ll discover new CAD tips, techniques and design methods that can save you hours in your job.
