We have a script that automatically adds the index tag to our parts catalog. I want to take it one step further and would like to add two profiles to the index element. In the acl script it has an entryinsert_tag(indexterm)oid_modify_attr(oid_caret(),"audience","value","otherprops","value 2"); If I do this I get a to many arguments warning.

Objective: To pass in variable into substitute command. ex: execute("substitute 'src'dst'") Problem: Arbortext $ERROR says its parsing error claiming a missing variable. However testing response($outputVariable) provides the expected value output to the screen. Leading to confusion on why I can see I have the correct value, and the substitute functions works when using a dummy hardcoded string value, but not when passing in a value retrieved from a dictionary I created using another text file.    The Process:   I have two files. 1 text file  & 1 xml file.   open text file create an associative array (dictionary) from the key/value pairs in the text file.  close text file >>> key/value access is successful. response($outputVariable) function displays expected value.   open xml file perform substitution close xml file >>> If i place a dummy s tring value like a word "testing" then the substitution works flawlessly >>> If i

We have a user who cannot write any .XML file to a network location with Editor 8.0.1.0. He can drag and drop files in Windows Explorer (Windows 10 vers 20H2) and with other apps, but Editor won't let him write to this location which everyone has full read/write permissions to... We're not using any Publishing Engines or any special extensions, macros or anything. Has anyone encountered this before?

As per the original Post    Hi I was using Isodraw 7.0 from long time. We have updated to Isodraw 7.3 and I have a problem enabling the cursor info in Isodraw 7.3 on windows 10.   "Use buffer drawing" option is not freed up. I tried the below methods but was unsuccessful. I tried to modify the "IsoDraw 7.3 Preferences" file in the local directory, but was unable to do so. I closed all the open files and try to check the options, but still was unable to do so. as per a suggestion, I even tried with a basic theme of windows, unsuccessful. Even tried to reinstall, but 😞 .   Could you please help me to get rid of this problem.   Thanks in advance,

Hi Gang,I maybe missing something so please forgive me if this has been answered. When drawing a Bezier path and coming back to add handles to use to smooth the curve I find that some of the handles are very short and impossible to select to lengthen. Is there a way of controlling the length of the Bezier handles without selecting them, or am I just stuck? Thanks
