I’ve complained about that so-called forum platform plenty, but I didn’t think th3 Top Ten site was difficult to find. Here it is, if anyone is interested: https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexperience.3ds.com/#community:ASOG7PgNS7mfLRS8zemqQw
What is Treehouse and why is it in the Solidworks top 10 list?
Assembly structure visualize. I think it come with SW.
I guess because people are voting for it. 
Well, what do you know.

Well because you guys gave me the link
But it’s not very “discoverable”, they don’t really advertise it, and it shouldn’t take a guide to figure out how to submit and vote on stuff. No one in my company was even aware of it…maybe that’s my job 
.
If they have the same reaction to that place that I have, you might lose a little cred for sending them in that direction.
Treehouse is one of those many things that’s a nice idea but let down by a lack of investment after initial release.
TTL as of 2023-01-26 (some people are already having trouble accessing the TTL community!);
- Ability to toggle a selection filter that only allows selections (faces, edges, etc) from a specific component - useful to restrict selections when working in complex assembly (94)
- AutoSolve Dangling Relations and Dimensions in Sketches and Drawings (92)
- Ability to reattach dangling DimXpert Annotation in MBD (66)
- Ability to create MBD Reference Dimensions between a cylinder and a plane (63)
- Tell us which file is at fault (60)
- Allow Import Diagnostics to be Used Anywhere (53)
- Enhance Markups (52)
- Treehouse Improvement: PDM Integration (49)
- Assembly created MBD (Model Based Definition) (48)
=. SPR 660642 - Indicate if Folder Contains Under Defined (48)
More big moves again, 4 different ideas in the top ten compared to yesterday!
Man, this one needs way more votes
Yeah, as you mentioned there’s a duplicate that has more votes. We’ll see if the Admin manages to combine them so the two same ideas aren’t steeling votes from each other.
As for how bad it is, I don’t think SW users that haven’t made drawings in SE realize what it could be like.
They know the frustration for sure, we just got used to delete /recreating dimensions for so long we’re numb to it. I think most of the designers here and everywhere would give a huge applause and throw a party, but this type of enhancement is not flashy enough for marketing. I think my default stance now is, if marketing likes it, it’s not in my best interest.
Don’t need to vote, just use SE or IV.
Yes, when I submitted this idea, I was not aware that the other one had been submitted.

It is interesting how few votes the most revolutionary idea got. If only the author would have added the core SW to the intended list of software CUDA processing would be expanded to…
There is so much untapped raw power in the GPUs…
I find the top ten list fascinating. Ideas range from “this used to work and you broke it, please fix it” to “this functionality would be really helpful’” to “please revamp the entire core of your software.”
I’ve never followed the top 10, and wasn’t around in the “Good old days” when it was more of a useful tool.
To me, things like this shouldn’t have to be submitted and voted on. It used to work and now it doesn’t. Why does that have to go through the top 10 process?

And things like this are such a large undertaking that it seems like it should be decided by engineers who understand all of the technical challenges of redesigning the root of the simulation code.

In the middle are all of the things that make sense to me for the TTL. Fixing dangling dimensions, expanding the import diagnostics functionality, etc.
(It pains me having to spend so much time in the swamp to find the examples for this post.)
Yup. That is why we wrote articles like the ones below for our clients. The ideas you mentioned are included in the short-list:
https://www.engineersrule.com/now-is-the-time-to-vote-on-the-2023-solidworks-top-ten-list/
and
https://trimech.com/blog/vote-for-ideas-in-the-solidworks-top-ten-list-3dexperience-world-2023
With all that effort still hardly anyone votes (unless you have very few clients which I don’t think would be the case) something just doesn’t click with the users to be remotely bothered by the whole TTL.
It’s totally broken.
I would guess some of the reasons could include any of the below
- The platform it’s on.
- Too many ideas to even be bothered to look through.
- Not broken down into separate sections.
- The thought it won’t change anything.
- They don’t give a @$$%, I go to work, do my job, who cares about the CAD.
- We pay for the software, surely it’s the job of the development engineers.
- People think it’s the job of the VAR’s to vote on it.
Actually, when VARs vote, people get upset.

These two, plus the how hard is to spread the awareness of the TTL. KevinC actually requested that his VAR spreads the word. The VAR did. The number of votes increased but not by a lot.
