Arbortext

I am using this expression:count(../preceding::*[(self::figure)][title]) +1 to count figuresbut I would like it to reset when it hits a <wpno> tag which seems doable but I can't get the syntax correct.<wpno> is an inline tag, it doesn't have children.Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to write a macro to delete all unused pens? We are converting files with (sometimes) hundreds of unused pens that need to be deleted. The only way to delete them currently is one by one - which takes forever.

Using arbortext 6.0 m020I have a cross reference that does not show up as gentext in a note in my sma side by side procedure. Is this the way it should be. It does show up in the pdf but it is not a blue hyperlink. Is this an issue with the program or the user?ThanksBryon

Hi everybody, if they have somebody who can help me to solve this probleme, it would be much apreciated.I try to select all projected text in illustration like text inside directional arrow, and from this macro a would be able to convert to path all selected text, to make sure it will not tilt on our publishing system.Thanks!!!

Does the Schematron/Check completness functionality in version 6 work withSGML files? I'm wondering if this functionality is only limited to XMLfiles or has PTC done something within the editor to make it work withSGML files?I'm trying to get our content moved over to XML and schems, but I'mgetting some push back. One of the features I wanted to take advanatage ofwas writing some rules checking in Schematron. If this functionality workswith SGML, then I don't have to try so hard to make the conversion. Iwould still like to take advantage of schema features, but this would be abig step forward...dan

Hi everyone!I'm using Arbortext PE to create PDFs, and in a special case I'd like to have certain elements start on an even page only (the left hand side, so to speak). For that to work, I added a function that would create a page break that should kick in if the last entry was created on an even page aswell, therefore creating an empty page on the next odd page so that those certain elements would now land on an even page again. Additionally, I want to avoid creating new page sets on their own (which would in turn be specifically designed to only begin on such even pages) for performance reasons.Specifically, that should work in XSL:FO and I tried to use an fo:block withbreak-before="even-page" (and, as explained before, avoidforce-page-count="end-on-odd" in the page-sequence). This works only partially: it creates either 1 new page (as intended), or 2 new pages instead of 0 (ie. if the document would end on that page anyways and no empty page is needed). If I had used the force-page-

Hi,Has anyone actually installed this combination?Struggling to find any official instructions and guides.ThanksPete

We're running an old version of the Epic environment. We just moved our lm server from a physical server to our virtual environment by taking a snapshot of it and creating it in our virtual world. The ALM came up and serves concurrent licenses to the EPIC editor users without a problem. However, any time a user tries to use the Epic Interchange to export a document to Word, they get the above error??

Hi Ed-- I don't know of any official documents on the subject, but one thingthat could be a big win for Arbortext users is the ability of the 64-bitversion to access more memory (assuming your system has it). That woulddefinitely come in handy for processing some of those multi-kilopagedocuments. --Clay

Hi Everyone,We are working in data modules using the S1000D specification, and using Arbortext Editor as our authoring tool. My question "Is there a way to do a check completeness on a group of data modules at once, or must we open each file individually to do a completeness check?Sindy YoungAWACS Tools and Technology Team,(253) 657-6964Kent, WA 98032

Hi,is there a way to display the full value of an processing instruction. Were using processing instructions with many attributes and the arbortext editor prior 5.2 is displaying the full tag, but the newer versions cut them off and puts three points at the end. I have currently now clue how to activate this in some way?thanks in advance for any ideasAndreas

We are running Arbortext v5.3 M010. In a particular document, I know that the entity & (an ampersand) is used multiple times. However, when I search for the entity, either from the command line using the find_entity alias or using the Find dialog window, no entities are found. I can find other entities using either method. Any suggestions on how to successfully search for the ampersand entity?Rick SchoenManager, Editing/Typesetting & Application Servers, Electronic PublishingThe University of Chicago Press1427 East 60th StreetChicago, IL 60637P:773.753.8022F:773.753.3383rschoen@press.uchicago.edu<">mailto:rschoen@press.uchicago.edu>

Update: Since I am an 'agent' of PTC, the Wikipedia page cannot be created by me. So I am creating it on my own talk page (se revised link below). Once that page is sufficiently edited/sourced/cited/etc., we can then request that it get moved to a regular Wikipedia entry.Hello, Arbortexters!The Wikipedia Entry for Arbortext is back online! But we need your help!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArbortextPlease make edits here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Abelniak/arbortextSome of the reasons cited for the prior entry being taken down were not enough links, not enough references, and not enough edits from other parties.

Click on the link to be taken to the Wikipedia entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbortext http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Abelniak/arbortextYou see that there are not very many links at all, but clearly things like S1000D, DITA, and the like can clearly be linked.

Independent solution for integrating Creo Illustrate with Arbortext Editor. Check this link: http://p1arbortext.wordpress.com/tag/creo-illustrate/

Hello,Most of our editors prefer to work in partial tag mode. The main concern they flagged working in partial mode is inability to see/edit the colspec attribute. Ofcourse editing is lot simpleri.e, they right click and choose modify attributes>column which gives the ability to modify colspec attributes. However they would like to see the actual attributes of colspec.I indeed created some generated text for colspec element in styler but those are only visible in table markup mode and not in table grid mode. They are even okay with full tag enabled for colspec element and so I triedtag_display -full colspecbut that does not work.Is there a way to show the colspec information in editor view?Thanks in advance.Karthik

We are currently using 5.3 M040, and we are testing 5.4 M100. I have been reading up on zipped customizations, and it shows some promise (we do have an offshore team, and the network is ALWAYS an issue). I was wondering if others have been using these custom zips, because I did have a couple of questions.First, we still use catalog files to resolve all of our 150K images using PUBLIC IDs. If a catalog file in the zipped customization points to this other catalog file, can it resolve it correctly (and not try to cache all of these graphic entities)?I guess that leads into my next question, if your APTCUSTOM is pointing on a web server, which is downloaded and cached, can it be used to reference a file external to the zip file?We use a FOSI entity file to define specific revision dates for each revision of each publication (please don't ask). It's basically a huge list of <att> rules. As would be expected, this list gets updated once or twice a week. If it's included in the zip, it

I am wondering if this is normal behavoiur for arbortext 6.0 M010, IsoDraw 7.2 F000. I have referenced a procbody from a different sma side by side procedure (customized) in my current document. when in the current document everything looks ok. If I click on the the procbody link and it opens the referenced section the layout goes all crazy. It seems to do it with any cross referenced procbodies.Anyone else have an issue like this.

So I asked this question a few years ago without much success, but it's so frustrating on a daily basis that I need to bring it up again. Since I don't have a choice, I have learned to get along without the ability to rotate the viewing angle, or to create and save new views, but it's like getting used to driving a car with no reverse - yeah, you can do it if you have to, but it takes lots of extra time and planning, and it sure would make life a whole lot easier if I could just back up when I needed to.What I still don't understand is why the 4 standard isometric views are not included as options to rotate to - and - since they aren't availble, why there is no way to create and save new views. All I want is to be able to rotate the VIEW (or camera angle, or viewing perspective, or whatever you want to call it) in 90 degree increments around the model by simply clicking on a corresponding view button WITHOUT having to select everything and rotate the actual model (in exactly the same w

Trying to get an image to show on the inside of the cover page, this image will need to change depending on book published. I am in styler and using the sma portion of the program. Do I need to change the ufe:smainsidefrontcoverpage ? Under gentext, i have add the markup to use productgraphic and have also tested ufe:SMAproductgraphic. In my ditamap I have a productgraphic listing and have the href set to the graphic location. Nothing seems to show up unless I insert the graphic directly onto the ufe:smainsidefrontcoverpage.any help would be much appreciated.Bryon
