So I’ve asked the question about whether or not we’ll be allowed to post ideas “not related to core SW functionality” this year (think home use license, online licensing discontinuation, provide a usable forum - y’know, all the good stuff that gets canned every time) and apparently this year there is “no” requirement for it to be related to core functionality.
We’ll see how long that policy lasts I guess.
Slip of the pen, I think. As soon Matthew sees this, he will take control. 
Matthew is the one who asked Marlon for clarification so in this regard I think Marlon outranks him!
Outranking does not mean having more experience or knowledge about the history of things, it often shows higher employees making rough statements, overestimating their knowing of people and processes. <()> We’ll see, I have a lot of items for the TTL, however, some are in progress for over a year now.
I C+P’d all mine in to a Word doc a few years ago to make recycling them easier. Last year it launched on Nov 8 so not long to go.
I have my PDM TTL entries saved in similar fashion. 
I want to give a shoutout to our man dave.laban , who did an incredible job on the TTL this year. I blindly gave my vote to all of his suggestions!
Look at this (I’m a gif):
Why on god’s sake are communities like this hidden from the public but junk ass communities such as “The ocean cleanup” are automatically added to our bar is beyond me.
Thanks! I think my Ctrl, C and V keys are still recovering. I’ve had reassurances that the TTL ideas will actually be transferred to the Enhancement Requests community for future use and reference, which if done correctly (hah!) will actually satisfy one of the long standing requests from Jive of retaining the TTL submissions long term.
I know that you have been pressing hard,dave.laban, for changes to the TTL and ER system. Go for it! It seems like you have taken up my baton. Sadly, my zeal has been swallowed up by the 3DSwamp.
I was particularly proud of the title for this one:
Check out the graphics I made for this one. I got a lot of positive feedback for painting these pictures.

Lotsa work there mate! We went through just about the same process for our continuous improvement department, like the graphics you posted are eerly similar 
They should find a way to reward major contributors like you. A perpetual licence that is actually perpetual and unrevocable or something, I don’t know, but I feel it’s a shame that you have to do all this process for free for things to actually change.
I’ve just had add the SubD modelling within Solidworks kicked out!!! They sure didn’t want to take any chance of it making the top ten.
'Thank you for submitting your idea to the SOLIDWORKS Enhancement Ideas 3DSwym community. After reviewing this idea, we have determined that it is requesting functionality that has already been implemented.
We understand that you are asking for SubD surfacing features to be added SOLIDWORKS. At this time, we have decided to provide this feature in the 3D Sculptor application on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You might consider using 3D Sculptor for subD modeling with 3D Creator for parametric modeling.
You can learn more about this implemented functionality here: https://blogs.solidworks.com/solidworksblog/2020/02/sub-d-modeling-for-solidworks-users.html
Because it is an implemented function, this idea will be removed from the SOLIDWORKS Top Ten List 3DSwym community one week from today. If you feel this idea is not already implemented, please modify your idea to make it unique and add a comment directed to @Top Ten List Admin
Pretty clear that this is no longer the Solidworks TTL, it is the 3DX Platform TTL.
More evidence that solidworks is no longer pirority, and is on the path to being sunsetted (although it could be a long slow path.)
Ever seen the movie Guardian with Kevin Cosner and Ashton Kutcher? Know the scene where he puts the guy in the basket just before the line gets tangled in the ship’s rigging and the helicopter crashes into the sea, pulling the guy they were rescuing down into the depths? Yeah, seems about like it.
I think Dassault has sunk a load of our Subs money in Sculptor and want some kind of return. My god, I just looked how much Sculptor costs and it’s expensive for what it is.
Well at some point they have got to look at getting SubD into the surfacing features, it’s ridiculous to have to use a separate piece of software. Fortunately many other CAD vendors have seen the light and are going down the correct route.
I’m baffled that a company that has treated their customers so poorly thinks a DSS product will be the replacement when Solidworks no longer holds up to the competition.
If you want a really robust SubD modeling system I’d recommend Rhino3D at this point. It’s an overall great software in general and compliments Solidworks very well. And the price point is very reasonable.
Yes I was aware of that and almost even mentioned it on a reply when they added the implemented note. You can buy several perpetual licenses of the full Rhino 3D for a years subs on Sculptor. Add to that it has already shoehorned SubD into the surfacing features.
Well it’s Dassaults funeral if they don’t start taking proper notice of where other CAD systems are at.
Funny how they were happy with the idea initially, probably didn’t sink in for a few days the implications for sculptor. Now it would have been funny if it made the final ten on votes, then someone realised higher up the issue 
Just in case you are too busy to read all 383 ideas from TTL23, take a look a this shortlist (focused mainly on productivity):
