Arbortext

Hello everybody!!Does anybody knows how can I add shortcuts to my XUI buttons? I'm trying to implement some usability principles in my tool, and I want to provide access to the user through the keyboard.Thank you so much for your help and support. Regards!Paulette Zorrilla

Is there anything that controls the visibility of a selected item in IsoDraw...in any of the preferences?One of our users has an issue that once an item is selected in IsoDraw and he goes to move that object (can be text, graphical, etc), the object becomes invisible and he cant see the movement of the object. It only becomes visible again when he lets go of the mouse.IsoDraw has been reloaded to see if it was an install issue and the problem remains. Out of the 8 users, only one has this issue. STUMPED!

Hi,We have done customization of Arbortext Editor (Epic), and we want to avoid using ACL functions for a functionality. Instead we wish to do it using java. And, we need something equivalent of find command of ACL in java. Is there any such thing available? It is ok for us to use Arbortext classes for that. I looked into the documentation but could not find it. Any pointers will be appreciated.Thanks

Hello experts!Ok, so I've been playing with the jvm and I would like to know the flexibility provided by Arbortext in order to modify or not use the jvm.dll provided by default in the installation folder. Until now I have the idea that by first instance Arbortext Editor will always use the one provided by default, is that correct? Do you know how many ways do I have in order to personalize my jdk version according to my Arbortext Editor? Is that possible? and also I would like to know, is that recommended? In my case I have the Arbortext 6.0 32-bit and in my computer I just installed the 32-bit Java7.Thank you soo much for your time and suggestions/responses. Have a wonderful day! 🙂P.D. (I would like to know also if it's possible to know if my Arbortext Editor is using a 32-bit or a 64 version. Do you know any command to get this information using ACL?)Paulette Zorrilla

Ugh, spoke too soon.Now the path is correct, but Arbortext is saying: "Cannot create a Javavirtual machine from..." showing the correct path and dll.Back to the drawing board I guess.Thanks for the help though, I'll try hardcoding some paths to see if thisis some kind of directory limitation, or something inherent to the customdir.

Can someone shed some light one what this error means?Thanks

Is there a way to change the origin of the IsoDraw drawing field?Here's my issue:Whenever I open a .dwg or .cgm (based off of a .dwg) the file is located in the upper-right of the drawing field, with some of the drawing extending beyond the edges of the drawing field. When creating a PDF, all of the info beyond the edges is left out, so that info is essentially lost. Bringing in a PDF or picture, however, does not have this happen and it looks like they align with the center of the IsoDraw field.I know that I can just select and drag the whole thing so that it fits inside the drawing field, but is there a way to set up IsoDraw so that this happens automatically and/or by default?See attached picture for reference to placement upon opening the drawing.

Hello all,I have following two questions about the table settings in Arbortext Styler.1. What kind of setting in Arbortext Styler allows a table not to break by a page and show all the table rows in the same page?2. When a table has to break by a page as it is too long to fit in one page, how do I set the table head on a next page of the same table?Your guidance will be highly appreciated.Tomomi

Hello everybody!!Ok, so I'm facing a problem related with javascript and events handling. I implemented a progress bar inside a XUI dialog using javascript, what I'm trying to do now is to show this progress bar once the window was loaded, first I call my progress_bar() method inside a script when the "windowload" event is thrown, however I'm supposing that since the elements have not been loaded I'm not able to see my progress bar, instead it looks like the Arbortext editor has crashed with a progress 😞 . I'm pretty sure that I need to call the function which is in charge of start the progress bar since a window's event, but it hasn't to be the 'windowload' event. Please, can anybody help me? I though also that it could be a good idea to implement my 'event handling' with ACL, once my window was created, but I don't know how to call a java script function using Acl (I mean an specific function).Please if anybody has any idea of can I solve this issue I would appreciate your response.

Dear all,I have to give format to a SGML file, and I'm using Styler to do that. This SGML has a DTD that I can't modify.I'm having issues when trying to format cells of a custom table. Some of them need to have different elements inside, and they have to be in different lines or with different alignment (left, right,...), always on the same cell. How could it be done? With only one element there is no problem, because all options can be changed with the _sfe element of the generated cell, but I don't know how to do that if they are more than one element. Could I insert an user formatting element (_ufe) in the cell of the custom table through XPath?Thank you very much for your help!Best regards

Is there any possibility of Tex to Mathml conversion in Arbortext Advanced Print publisher?

Greetings adepters,Arbortext Editor 5,3m040 running on 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 with 4 Gig of RAM (8 Gig on some PCs).Someone (the evidence points to me) set a preference or did something else that causes an SGML document to be saved without the doctype header.The following came up on a help search, but I need to know which preference causes it to not be saved when exiting Arbortext Editor.Ensuring valid headersMake sure the instance file has a valid SGML header structure. Three examples of valid headers are listed below:

Hi all,I've just installed Arbortext Editor v6 M090 and discovered that the compiler has changed and I need to recompile all my v6 F000 doctypes.I haven't needed to install the other patch releases so hadn't realised that the compiler had changed.Does anyone know when the compiler changed? Was it in M090 or an earlier release?ThanksAdrian Jordin - Senior ConsultantMekon Ltd.intelligent content solutionse adrian.jordin@mekon.com<|">mailto:adrian.jordin@mekon.com>| t +44 (0)117 303 5202 | m +44 (0)7515294338| w www.aerospace-defence.com<">http://www.aerospace-defence.com>Todays content needs agility - www.congility.com

Hello adepters,I want to understand how graphics drag and drop support is done in Editor.If I drag a graphic from the filesystem and put it into my XML session, the (with at least some help from the dcf file, I assume), interprets this as a graphic and then inserts the graphic element with an href to my local file system path of the graphic (from where I dragged it from). This works great.I want to understand how this works as I have a requirement to drag an object from my proprietary java application and have it work in the same way. I've taken an initial look in some documentation but mostly find information such as how to insert graphics via menu options in Epic. I tried a couple of easy mocks, such as copying the object in Windows and pasting in a valid place in Epic, and also copying the path of the graphic and pasting in a valid location, to no avail. The only thing that works is a straight drag and drop from Windows to Epic. Can anyone point me in the right direction?Thanks!Kris

I have been working with the preference files in order to have the linestyles and text styles set when a user opens Isodraw. I would like to set up layers also, but I do not see a section where that can be accomplished.Has anyone created layers in the preference files? If so could you please share with me that portion of your ".PRF" file or point me in the correct direction where to look?Thanks for any and all help.Keith Howard

Adepters and Adeptites,I haven't been able to find anything about this in Help.Can somebody tell me how "Save as SGML" works in Arbortext Editor or point to some documentation that does? I have temporarily lost access to the Programmers Reference Guide so I can't look there, if there is anything there.I can get it to work with the axdocbook demo.xml file and it works pretty well. Other XML files have the menu item grayed out. I presume that the target SGML DTD/doctype is defined somewhere, but I can't find out where.The menu.cf file shows the command for the Save as SGML menu selection to be "FileSaveAsSGML" with a qualifier of "!doc_dtd_not_defined()".I presume that the target SGML DTD is defined somewhere, but again I don't know where.If all this is in the Programmer's Reference Guide then that is enough of an answer.I know that asking to "Save as SGML" today is like asking for a way to make my polio vaccine ineffective or something, but we need to be able to do this somehow.Thanks f

After using Arbortext and its predecessors on the Unix platform for the last 18+ years, we are switching to the Windows platform now that Unix will no longer be supported. I wondered if anyone else has made this transition and could offer some advice? We have a lot of customizations and I'm curious about how much work I should expect to make this transition. I would like to keep the changes to the interface and functionality to a minimum so as to not alarm our users. Any advice that anyone can offer would be very much appreciated.Regards,Rick

Hello everybody, masters and amateurs 😃Ok, so I've been working with tablecontrols in XUI, however I haven't found relevant information about their management quite easily, my current problem now is related with delete or update one element in a Table, let's say that I have the following tablecontrol:<tablecontrol columns="2" fontweight="bold" foregroundcolor="#85002A"<br"/>gridlines="false" height="200" id="table_results" resize="width"><header id="encabezado"><column id="topic" label="Topic"/"><column id="value" label="Percentage"/"></header></tablecontrol>And that i need to insert some values and then delete them, my current process in order to insert elements in the table is the following:dlgitem_insert_list_at($main::ENV['WALKING_WINDOW'],'table_results',1,"value");dlgitem_set_table_cell_at($main::ENV['WALKING_WINDOW'],'table_results',1,1,"Task");dlgitem_set_table_cell_at($main::ENV['WALKING_WINDOW'],'table_results',1,2,"20%");dlgitem

Has anyone figured out how to do this?If you haven't seen it yet, in m090 (not sure when it started, I'mupgrading from m010 to m090), there is some dynamic content provided at thetop of the view frame (below the toolbar) ... *every* view frame ... thattheoretically allows you access the eLearning and Knowledge Base content onthe PTC website.What this means is that the content you are looking for, seeking help for,is pushed lower in the frame, perhaps off the page forcing a scroll.Further, it indicates that "your administrator" installed it. Which wouldbe me. Hey, waitaminute!? I did? I don't remember choosing to do so. MaybeI did. Can I take it back?Somewhat contradicting the statement that your administrator isresponsible, Arbortext Documentation Changes states that it is "Brought toyou by PTC University." Sigh.-- Paul Nagai

Is there a way to use a tiv out of its scope? I tried to do a LEP for the entire document by using the Chapter LEPs, which uses a tiv scoped to chapter. Even if I save the tiv to a tdv, it still gets flagged as out of scope. I was wondering if there was a way to save a tiv (or "freeze" the contents) to another variable so the scope would be irrelevant. If I delete the scope, the chapter LEPs don't work correctly, and I haven't figured out how to force a reset on the tiv.
