Does anyone know if ISODraw will be getting updates past the current version (7.4)? I cannot see anything on the product calendar. Tks!   

We're having a problem where some graphics are not showing up in our PDFs. Most graphics appear without a problem, but some more complicated graphics appear as just a blank space with the Figure's name below.  We use CorelDraw to create the CGMs. Add them into the DMs in Arbortext, and PDF in Windchill.Anyone else ever have this problem?When we try working on it in IsoDraw to export as a CGM we get a polygon warning. See attached.  

Is there a way to make callout text wrap? Please see attached jpg -- this is what we need it to do. Sometimes it's just 2 lines sometimes it's more.  Thanks in Advance!

So, I am writing several manuals in Arbortext, and I have to go into the XML afterward to manually change all the graphics paths from absolute paths to relative paths. This is annoying and time consuming. Is there a setting I can change so that Arbortext always defaults to using relative paths, instead? I have to do this for multiple documents that all have different file/graphics paths. Thank you.

Hi, Did anyone work with ACD -  Arbortext content delivery (formerly called as Servgistics), which falls under the deliver model of the overall create-manage-deliver thread. Any insights or documentation references on its business case and possible integration with Windchill would be helpful. I would like to understand if there is a way to downstream data from Windchill to ACD for various stakeholders reference. Thanks in advance.      

Hello! I am attempting to modify numbering behaviour for a division level 2 element. My customer has a requirement for this element (applied to sect1 in the Docbook DTD) to start at 00, then increment by five for each new sect1. So, 00, 05, 10, 15, and so on. As the only increment available is by one, I have been investigating the APP Funtion Numbering module in Styler (currently at 8.1.2.1). The relevant section has this code: if ( argv.countAs != '' ) {var number = formatting.fish[ template.numberingFish ][ argv.countAs ];if ( number == '' || number == null ) {number = startAt;} else {number = Number(number) + 1;}formatting.fish[ template.numberingFish ][ argv.countAs ] = number.toString();if ( argv.numberXPath == '' ) {argv.numberXPath = number;argv.initialNumber = 0;}} If I change the line 'number = Number(number) + 1' to 'number = Number(number) + 5', the sect1s increment by 5, but so does everything else with a Division style. I need to test for which div

Hello,I have created an XUI dialog box with a tree control. I would like to know how to fill a tree control with ACL code.I want to fill the treecontrol with an xml node (and child nodes).David

Seeking advice from any Arbortext Developer in C++ who has successfully accessed the Arbortext IDOMEventListener class. Objective, add a custom left mouse click to the interface. There are no ACL calls for the mouse interface.Attached is the Class view in Visual Studio V2022.There is one undocumented page, C++ sample in the knowledge base shows AttachListener in 10 lines.    Any advice  welcomed will share the magic.

Hi Gang,Have an annoying problem when opening an AutoCAD drawing in IsoDraw 7.4. When I open the drawing I notice there are several lines shooting out in all different directions. When I activate the line I will notice one is snapped to another line, the other end is just floating out in space. I can select the endpoint of the line in IsoDraw and connect it to the point where it belongs with no problem. My question is why is it doing this action. I look at the AutoCAD drawing and the lines are in the correct location in the initial drawing. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue and how to correct the problem?

Hi,which default graphic processor is used by the editor to display graphics of any format. For example the docbook applicatoin allows different types of graphic formats. I wonder which tool is used to display them in the editorThanks for help.BR, Pia  

Hello everyone, has anyone deployed Arbortext Editor in Azure? I am working on setting up a FlexNet license host triad (using 3 Windows VMs) to host our floating licenses. I assume we will deploy Arbortext Editor itself using Azure Virtual Desktops (AVD) where a license can then be checked out from the license pool by the user. Thus far I've hit communication issues between the FlexNet hosts that I'm trying to resolve by looking into networking and license configuration. I just wanted to check with the community to see if this was done by someone else in Azure or perhaps in AWS and if they have any high-level guidance. Thanks!

Hello,I am working on an APP stylesheet in Styler 8.1.2. The XML (Docbook) contains some simple ordered and itemized lists - when I preview or publish to PDF, long lines which wrap are causing the entire sentence to drop down by one line relative to the item.The code that produces the above is as follows:  <orderedlist> <listitem> <para><?Pub _font Posture="italic"?>Line 1<?Pub /_font?></para> </listitem> <listitem> <para>Line 2. Form 6377, VHP Series Four P9394GSI with ESM Operation & Maintenance Manual (previous production engines)</para> </listitem> </orderedlist><itemizedlist> <listitem> <para><?Pub _font Posture="italic"?>Line 1<?Pub /_font?></para> </listitem> <listitem> <para>Line 1 & 2.
