I'm currently working a problem with the IsoView plugin installed within Airbus' ADOC program. Even though I totally uninstalled and reinstalled ADOC, I'm still getting this error message whenver I attempt to view a tally sheet within the program:   "Can not find or start IsoView Server. Error -16". ADOC then locks up, and I have to shut it down.   Can anyone give me some insight into the significance of "Error -16"? ADOC is installed on Windows XP SP3 using Internet Explorer 8.

The M040 maintenance release of APP Version 11 was recently made public. This release provides the usual bug fixes and also some new functionality which will be of interest to APP users and Styler users (as APP is the default print composition engine).The key things are:PDF notesThis is provided as a technology preview. Here, you get the ability to create PDFs with annotations (sticky notes) which can be populated with content extracted from your XML (inlcuding comments if you're smart). When you create the PDF note, you get to specify the title, the author, the content, the colour of the note and the icon used. Currently the icon is one of seven which are predeifined, but I'd be interested to hear if you want more. What I like about this feature is that it allows you to add information to a PDF, such as asking a reviewer a question or including deleted content, without changing the formatting of the page by adding extra content inline.PDF layersThis is another technology preview which

Hi!This might be a stupid and simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer to it by myself. I want to insert "SUPERSEDED BY" in the IPL, but the program doesn't give me the option when I place the cursor behind the element where I want to place the markup, it doesn't give me the option to mark as supersede. I have tried behind several places in the idemdata, where I suppose that I should place it.I would really appreciate some help on this question. If somebody has a good advice on where to find answers to questions like this one in the future, I would be grateful as well.Thanks in advance!Monica

I am trying to make a connection to Arbortext Content Manager from Arbortext Editor. I have modified the siteprefs.xml and the userprefs.xml to reflect my server url and name and have put them both in the adapters folder in Arbortext Editor. When Editor is started and you go to click on Object to connect a PTC server we get an error that says java.lang.NullPointerException which does not tell me anything. Can someone please give some advice or some help please?

Im trying to link my Warnings to a specific section of a DM, (Procedural DM Issue 4.0) But I cant find the target field?? Does anyone know where the "Ref DM Target" attribute field is? Or basically how do you designate a "target" (link to a particular place or ID in a Data Module) in Arbortext Editor (Issue 4.0)??? In previous versions (3 and below) you could hit CTRL D/modify attributes and the Target attribute is available in that window.....But that is no longer the case. I can't find it in Issue 4.0?? I think they may have changed the tag name, (like everything else) but if so it is not obvious and Im not sure where it is...Can anyone help

Hiya,I am attempting to install 6.0 m090 alongside an existing 6.0 m010installation but the installer is only providing me the option to upgradethe m010 installation. How do I force a full installation?I read the install.pdf provided w/m090 (which was apparently updated lastfor m040) but it didn't have anything specific about doing this other thanit mentioned both full and upgrade installation possibilities.What am I missing?-- Paul Nagai

So, my management has been reading about Acrobat XI and how you can create interactive PDFs (embed Flash Player compatible videos, audio, buttons, and forms). Simple question: Is any of that possible with PE (any version)? Sounds like it's easy to add a video (for example) to an existing PDF manually with Acrobat XI, but we'd want it to happen within PE (or some FO processor, for that matter). Anyone done anything like this?Dave HintzSiemens

Some time ago there was some discussion about using 64-bit Arbortext Editor (and Print Composer). Does anyone know if there are any "official" white papers or anything like that from PTC about the supposed advantages of the 64-bit Editor over the 32-bit version? Things such as claims about the ability to handle and/or publish larger files, function more quickly, etc. etc.?I am not really looking for testimonies about anecdotal, subjective, perceived differences, but rather words from PTC or other companies on their website(s) or published elsewhere. Any actual scientifically measured differences by anyone would be good, also.Thanks.

Hello experts, amateurs and everybody!! 😃I have been investigating about how to enable or disable an XUI button.

Thank you so much in advance.Paulette Zorrilla
