Single-Sourcing Solutions Community Projects

Community projects

Community service is something fundamental for us. Everyone at Single-Sourcing Solutions volunteers for at least one community service project. Most of us have more than one. These are projects in which we sponsor employee activity — and ones that they do on their own. Our community projects span the technical and the personal.

Here are some of the community projects we participate in:

Mailing lists and Forums

Adepters Mailing List.

Your best place for questions. Monitored by PTC R&D and Product Management as well as new and old customers. This long-running mailing list has been around since 1996.
Adepters code repository.

This free code archive is maintained by Single-Sourcing Solutions. They donate the resources and users from throughout the community contribute code to the repository on a regular basis.

The Mathcad forums and IsoDraw forums are the best places to get answers to questions for these products. There is also an Arbortext forum that is growing.
