Post Titles

Why are all the subjects suddenly getting tagged with AutoCAD?

There is an ongoing concerted effort by the admins to have post titles reflect the actual topic content: is that what you mean?
They also appear to be following up with the OP if it appears the topic was left hanging (so to speak): sort of bumping it up the list.

Hi @RSomppi 

 

As @pendean has suggested, this is part of my role as the new community manager. I have added product names and versions to the thread topics where applicable. By doing this, I hope that it will make it easier for all members to quickly identify issues they can assist with and also help to improve search optimization within the community and the broader web. 

 

Another part of my role is to review older posts and help identify if the solution has been provided or if more information is required on the original thread, thus bumping the topic up the list. 

 

I hope this explains the recent changes you have seen.

I wondered the same, and I think it's unnecessary -- the top of the page does, after all, say "AutoCAD Forum."  By all means, if something gets posted here that doesn't belong, they [e.g. @handjonathan who has been doing that tagging] can move it to the appropriate Forum, or if something that should be here gets posted elsewhere, they can move it here.  But adding that to posts in this Forum conveys no information.

Agreed.

 

I always try to avoid such unnecessary duplicate information. It saves me a lot of work.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Thank you, @RobDraw @RSomppi @Kent1Cooper @pendean, for the feedback on this.

 

As I have previously stated, there are some underlying reasons behind my doing this. Including the product name & version on the topic may seem unnecessary, but it helps with how the top issues are returned in both the forum search feature and if someone is using google to find an answer. If you imagine if someone searched for as @RobDraw has shown "dim line location," then results could be returned for Revit, Inventor, and Fusion360 as well.

 

Then, to align with the Forum User Guide on how to post a question, we encourage that a topic has the product, version, and a short descriptor of your question formForum User Guide on how to post a question, we try to encourage that a topic has the product, version, and a short descriptor of what your question is. This helps community members who are experienced with your product identify your post. 

 

I will be reaching out to the community in a few weeks after Autodesk University to discuss this and many other things regarding the community, so I hope you can join that session. Please PM me any of you who will be in attendance at Autodesk University, and we can also catch up and discuss.

So, you are spending a lot of time adjusting Topic Names because people don't follow directions and don't know how to look for what they need in a search?

 

What's next, warning labels for hot liquids on coffee cups?

IMHO A product version is only valid if the issue is clearly related to some particular version.

For example, if ACAD 2023 was released just a week ago so most folks here are still on something older.

Else it's confusing.
