It has been too long since I last algrouped and the geometry has fallen outof my head. Somewhere I remember a drawing that depicted what each settingcontrolled ... I need to get that done as a tattoo on the back of one of myhands .... If I can find it.Anyhow, I've got a three column algroup. I can get the first two columns todisplay correctly. Or I can get the last two to display correctly.(Correctly means they appear on the same line.)Which measurement do I need to adjust below to get the third group to notbreak to a new line? I've been adjusting the leftind for the third setwhich displays task.txt.<att><charsubset><indent leftind="-1in" rightind="6in" firstln="-1in"/"><algroup refpoint="first"/"><usetext source="actor.txt" placemnt="after"><subchars><indent leftind="-1in" rightind="6in" firstln="-1in"/"><quadding quad="left"/"><textbrk startln="0" endln="0"/"><algroup refpoint="first"/"></subchars></usetext></

Hi folks-- I'm trying to set something up using a page set where the content flowonly appears on the right hand pages, but I need static content toappear on the left pages. When I try to set this up in Styler, it almostworks, except that it gives me a warning if I try to have a left page inmy page set that doesn't contain a "main content flow" region. If I adda very small main content flow region (so it exists but is too small tocontain any actual content), I don't get the error, but the formatterstops on that page and I don't get anything that comes after. The onlyway I can get the document to format is to include some actual contentflow on each page (both right and left), which is not what I want. What I want is something like this: with this content: A, B, C1, 2, 3Do, Re, MiYou and me I want output to look something like this (where each "box" represents apage):

Need instructions on converting FrameMaker files into Epic Editor. Or link to instructions would work, too.

Hi! I'm trying to test a new class in order to implement XUI with java, however I can not import "com.arbortext.epic.Acl" =(Why? When I'm trying to compile, compiler tells me the package doesn't exist. Does anybody know why this is happening to me?Thanks in advance. Best regards,Paulette

Hello!I'm working in a XML document examination, the idea is to perform a walk trough the document and identify certain parts in it. We are trying interactively step through the document highlighting various sections, and maybe prompt the user for a designed action. All this functionality implemented and running inside Arbortext. However I'm pretty new in Arbortext and I feel confused about the recommended tools in order to achieve our goal.I don't know if it's better to think the implemenation all based on ACL, or if it's better using javascript, or maybe "mixing" both of them. I have been working in an example using oid_find_children and implementing a simple content extractor.So please all help, support and advice you can provide me, I really really appreciate it!Regards,Paulette

Related to my earlier thread about looping over files, I'd like to popup a dialog telling the user that the work is happening (in a big directory, it can take a while). The best option I've found for that is response, but it requires a response, so it blocks the rest of the script. Is creating a dialog box in XUI be the best option? Would that work? Steve

Hi!I have been consulting Forums for PTC users, however in many threads people give advice about read HELP X number. Where can I find this help? also I would like to know if there's a guide where I can learn about how to use the tools provided by adepter in forums.Thanks in advance.Paulette Zorrilla

I'd like to use Arbortext to report all the files in a directory that have a certain xpath.It looks like xpath_boolean would tell me if a file has a particular xpath, but I didn't see a good way to loop over all the files in a directory.Does ACL have any convenience functions for looping over all the files in a directory? If not, does anyone have any suggestions for how to go about this? Steve

Hi, all…We will probably make extensive use of XML comments in the DITA topics that we edit in ArborText editor. Does anyone know of a way to hide them? We know how to collapse them, but are wondering if there was a way to completely hide them, including the enclosing tags, and even better, have ArborText remember the hidden state of the comment when you close and reopen a document.What would serve us just as well would be for ArborText to remember the collapsed state of XML comments like it does with any other element when you close and reopen a document. Version 6.0 does not do that.ThanksSteve

Hello all,I'm using Editor and PE 5.4 M100, and I'm having difficulty publishing a large doc to PDF.Ok, so the document itself is XML, ATA-style markup, and uses FOSI. It's roughly 2.2MB in size, contains references to about 200 bi-level TIFF graphic ents, and also contains several hundred instances of ID/IDREF pairs.By turning off graphic display and gentext, I was able to get the document to load pretty quickly into the Editor (about 15 seconds). No completeness errors or anything.Either sending this to PE or by using the local Print Composer (using distiller for PDF), I cannot get this document to render. I had my maxBusyInterval set to 30 minutes, and it considered the subprocess for this composition hung and restarted it. Other than that, I can get no indication of errors or issues that I can address. My PC for local composition is XP, with a dual-core Intel and 3Gb RAM.The development server I'm using for PE has 4 quad-core CPUs and 48Gb of RAM.Anyone have any ideas? I tried sear

I'm trying to install IsoDraw 7.0 to a new machine, but I'm not having any luck. It a node-locked license. When I attempt to load it asks for a dongle (which went away years ago). Also, does it need FlexNet and if so, how do you load it for a single computer?

Hi,we have a problem with cgms in Arbortext. We make the drawings with CATIA and then save them to cgm. In Arbortext the drawings look fine and in the preview as well. Nevertheless, when we convert the preview into a PDF, some cgms have funny fines all over them. If we have a look on these drawings in PowerPoint, some other funny lines are shown, but with other programs the cgms look fine.Any ideas to how we can resolve our problem?Thanks in advance!Monica

For anyone out there who is using MIL-STD-40051-1 or 40051-2 (not 1A or 2A), MIL-HDBK-2361C IS FINALLY published and available on the ASSIST web page (all 1458 pages of it).

How can I use IsoView to view 3D objects? Can IsoDraw render a 3D view which can be moved and rotated freely? What file format does it need to be in? I have a VRML/WRL file that IsoView does not recognize.I've attached a WRL file as an example.

If I have a CGM with a textbox which has a text value of BLUE, can I use JavaScript to modify the value to say RED?   I was only able to find Iso3SetGrAttribute and Iso3SetStringAttrValue functions in Chapter 15 of the programmer's reference however it is not doing what I want it to do, or I'm using it incorrectly.

Hi Adepters,I'm looking for advice about making DITA specializations in an Arbortext 6.0 environment (initiallyonly attribute and domain specializations).I've got the principles (more or less), not least thanks to Mr Eliot Kimber's excellent tutorials at

I'm trying to view a profiled DITA document (Edit |Profiles | View Profiled Document).My profiles show up fine, but the profiled document doesn't display. Arbortext can't find the profiling.dtd. It's looking for it in c:\windows\system32, not in the Arbortext install directory (see error message below)I feel like my config must be really messed up. Anybody have any tips on where to look to solve this one?BTW, thanks for all the recent help. I'd be lost without this list.

Hello everyone,I'm looking for a way to use a relative patch to associate a 3f file with a stylesheet. The properties dialog in Styler allows you to browse to a 3f file, but I want to make this location relative to the custom folder so I don't have to either configure it on each machine or impose a standard location. Although, there will be a standard location for all machines, I would rather have everything looking in the custom folder by default.I tried using %APTCUSTOM%\path\my.3f, but the env. variable doesn't resolve. I'm open to any ideas.Thanks,-Jeff

Hi,I've been assigned for UI enhancement for Arbortext Editor. When the user opens a document with the help of Menu item, system opens a widow providing options to filter the documents. I need to customize this with more user friendly.Here Iam looking for suggestion on the environment to be used for UI customization. Can I use J2EE to achieve our requirement. If so, how can i invoke an .ear from Arbortext editor.It would be really helpful, if you provide some pointers to refer to pickup my task quickly.Thanks,Samba.
