Hi,I've heard that APP enterprise will disappear to be integrated directly to APE.Someone can say me more about that and when this change will be applied ?APP tags (PI like <?th 2mm>) will they be kept in the next versions of APP or just javascript will be used ?Thanks.Regards,Nicolas Delobel

Hello,I try to Add FOM Code Completion for javascript in Eclipse but I don't know where in can find Application.js, Content.js,Formatting.js and Aliases.js cited in APP's help.Someone can help me ?Thanks.Nicolas

Hi all,Trying to see if anyone in the community has experienced a similar issue... Using either Arbortext 6.0, or 6.1 [32 bit or 64 bit] latest builds, I get an [A11514] Unhandled Exception error out of the blue. There is no apparent workflow that causes this except perhaps time. It happens sometimes when starting the application up without opening any files. It always happens when open for extended amount of time. I have an open case for this but no resolution in site.Seems like a memory issue or perhaps something on my system conflicts with Arbortext.Anyone experience similar issue?

Hello every one,I am having a difficulty on Arbortext, I would like to keep the content of a table together but when I generate the PDF if the table is at the bottom of a page it splits the content. I already tried some modification on the stylesheet (keep, indivisibility) but even when I change the different levels of priority to set new rules for keeping content together, it does not change anything.Do you have any clue to solve this little issue?Thanks,

I'm currently developing a new APP template using only Javascript/FOM. In the past, we used specific counters like f or g to count page numbers or footnote references. The reason those counters come into handy is their behaviour when a page is reformatted multiple times as they still count correctly. I want to avoid using legacy functionality whenever it is possible and tried using a global JavaScript variable like template.myCounter to count footnotes throughout the formatting process. As a ordinary global variable (like 3B2 Script or Perl Variable), incrementing it during formatting, will just add up, if an element is reformatted multiple times. Therefore a page with a single footnote that is formatted 4 times, would result in template.myCounter+4 instead of +1.What would be the best practice in those situations (footnotes, page number)? Using counters with the formatting.evaluateShowString() function? Does the FOM provide any information about retries?

HI,     Can any one please help on how to store values in an external file using ACL, I have developed a dialog box window which contains combo box,drop down list, check boxes and other list variable and I want to store the assigned values to some file so that I can get and set same values when I load the document. Thanks,Prashant

I'm trying to get a macro in Arbortext Isodraw that copies the path and filename of the active document to clipboard.I've tried combinations of copy and path and StripExt but it usually ends up in copying the text as an element, instead of to the clipboard.I might try to do a text log that outputs the active doc path and filename, but it would be nice if there was an easier way!

I am attempting to access the help topics that a user might normally get via the Arbortext Editor (AE) command line however that is not possible for me; I am behind a firewall so "on-line" help is not available.I am trying to upgrade to AE 7.0 and need to track down some of the error messages I am getting.Is there a way to access the help topics on the web from this site or another location without having AE installed. I cannot use a copy outside my firewall.

Creo Illustrate没有打印预览和页面格式设置功能，没有打印预览功能，用户不能再输出前检查图和文字的位置对不对。。没有页面格式设置功能，用户不能按照需要打印说明书的大小去调整说明书内容。希望PTC公司能改进和增加这方面的功能。3DVIA Composer有这两方面的功能，这个很人性化，用户在最终打印前可以预览检查内容的排版。。

Has anyone heard anything about PTC updating the Arbortext Tools to accomodate things like making the Import Excel function work with the S1000D schemas.S1000D requires a para tag in each entry cell of a table.  Because of this the import excel function does not work properly with S1000D.  The only way around it right now, is to physically add the para tags to the data before you import, making the tool virtually useless.  It would be nice if they could rework the tool and give us an option of either milspec or S1000D functionality to choose from.

I haven't had any luck with this.

Hello Gurus!So, I've been facing a problem and I would like to know if you could help me to solve it. Please, let me explain you a little bit about what I'm doing.I implemented this plug-in in the Editor which allows me to load some XML files and modify the document according to the XML, however, while I'm loading the file I'm making the modifications and I wouldn't like that someone could try to manually modify some content in the file at the same time. Is there a way to lock the file I'm using and modifying or maybe the editor itself while I'm executing a task? In advance I appreciate so much your time and response.Paulette Zorrilla

I'm trying to write a macro that rounds numbers. The code asks users for a number, and the macro rounds to 2 after the decimal place. First of all, I'd like to know if Isodraw has a built in round function. That would save me some time. I searched the 7.2 IML Reference (even though I'm using 7.3 because I can't seem to get access to 7.3 IML) and there didn't seem to be a built in round function. Nonetheless I proceeded to write a rounding submacro which takes a user input for a number and rounds the 2nd digit after the decimal. However I noticed that my numbers were often altered after I input them. And so I used this text macro to test it:macro numtest define number as float define numasstring as string number = get float "Number" numasstring = number message numasstringend macroWhen I input 8.591, I get 8.59.Similarly,8.592 --> 8.5928.593 --> 8.5938.594 --> 8.5938.595 --> 8.5958.596 --> 8.5968.597 --> 8.5968.598 --> 8.5988.599 --> 8.5998.600 --> 8.599It see

HI,I want to add BOM table in Arbortext for a service manual. I am adding BOM table manually in the Editor. I would like to know if there is any other way to add BOM table automatically in the Editor.

Our office recently made the switch from Arbortext 5.3 to 6.1.We have node-locked licenses for all our new 6.1 machines and today have just come to realize that in this new version, users cannot work remotely via a remote terminal connection. After contacting PTC support, the only way a user can remtoely use Arbortext is with a floating (more expensive) license type.In 5.3, node-locked or individual licenses worked fine over a remote connection and now we might get burned by this licensing change. Is there no other alternative than to just buy the more expensive floating license?? I'm just posting here to maybe see how others dealt with this change as we can't have been the only ones burned by this.

Running IsoDraw 7.3 on Win7 pc.Using Batch to convert CGM files to SVG.Would like to remap all Fonts (most are Arial), changing them to Helvetica.How to batch change the Fonts, whether in the file while it's open, or during the batch export process?We certainly could write code and run it against the SVG files afterward, but will IsoDraw do it?Thanks,Dave
