Has anyone come across parser problems when it comes to Arbortext singleton tags not being properly closed?All of our singleton tags such as <tableref> are closed only by a > sign, instead of using />. The parsers we use are constantly complaining about this.Is this Arbortext XML Editor specific? Can it be changed?Ashley

Has anyone noticed differences in how text wraps to the next line in version 6 versus older versions? I'm seeing many differences between outputs from 5.3 and 6.0. I can't account for anything in the markup causing the difference. Has anyone else noticed this?

When viewing CGMs in IsoView, at the default size, which sizes the graphic to the viewport, the raster portions of the image is all shuffled. Horizontal portions of the image is "shuffled". If you zoom out to about 50% of the viewport size the graphic looks correct, but none of the text is legible because the graphic is zoomed out too far.   here is how the image is displayed:       Here is a similar portion of the image, how it is supposed to look: (the drawing of the plane is a raster image imported into the CGM, while the black arrows are vector elements in the CGM.)   All the vector elements are positioned correctly, but the raster portions get shuffled depending on the zoom level. This is using the 7.2 evaluation copy of IsoView and being used in IE7. The problem also occurs in IE8.   This problem only to select computers, but all running the same OS (Windows XP). The graphic will look correct on some computers, whereas on others it will be incorrec

hi, I use arbortext editor 5.4, there is a "rotate" attribute for table cells. Does this work? What must I put in there so that the cell contents actually rotates? (-90, yes, 1 ?) for example, the whole word must be rotated 90 degrees back, but not like this...elpmaxemany thanks,edward

Hi all,Having just updated one of our standalone workstations to Arbortext Editor 6.0 Build 040, we've noticed that the Completeness Checker now gives us errors for empty tags - which is a problem. (We've still got other stations running 6.0 Build r60m010 without this problem).Background - We're a small shop doing DoD Military XML Tech Manuals using US Army LOGSA DTDs and Stylesheet filesets. During tech manual development, many of our tags (particularly parts data) have empty tags (immature parts data during TM development cycle), but the tags themselves (and some attributes) are required by the DTD.We try to have everyone here diligently use the completeness checker, to ensure that our content is tagged as error free as possible. This is particularly helpful with newer, inexperienced TM developers. Everything runs cleaner that way, from our end and gov't receipt - almost singing Kum-bah-ya.Problem: With Arbortext Editor 6.0 Build 040, the Completeness checker is now flagging hundreds

Hello,I need to upgrade my 5.1 editor with the 5.2 version, but it seems no more avalaible on PTC download product session.Do you know how can I get it?PS I don't want to install greater version cause they use local language installation and I need the English version

We have an image that shows up on a ufe that prints a cover sheet in the pdf. Is there a way to suppress it so I can print two versions of the pdf one with the ufe present and one with out. That way we can send it to the printer and have them print it on pre printed covers.Thanks Bryon

Hi Experts, I learned that Arbortext editor 6.0 supports Documentum 6.5. I am wondering if it supports Documentum 6.7. Arbortext's Documentum support components are packaged in Documentum DocApp format which needs to be installed via Documentum Application Installer (DAI). The D6.7 stopped supporting DAI. D6.7 only supports DAR format of DocApp which can be installed using the new installer DARInstaller, a part of Documentum Composer. Does Arbortext Editor have DAR format of DocApp packages? Thanks Brian

Hello,I have some publishing profiles set up in the servicemanual.pcf file in our custom directory on our Publishing Engine server. We just added another user to the system (for the first time), and her Arbortext editor does not "see" the .pcf file. She does have read access to the custom directory. She is using a floating license. Any ideas on what is preventing her access to theprofiles?Arbortext 6.0, Windchill 10.0Thanks,Lisa AntellTempe AZ

Our publishing people still use Epic CD-ROM Composer 4.2 and have a usage question that I cannot find in the documentation or PTC's knowledgebase.When creating a new project or defining the consumer customizations, the wizards have various default values for folders, names/title/descriptions and other settings. We find that we need to change nearly all of them to meet our requirements.Can we change the default values so that our people do not need to type so much?Is there an editable configuration file with the default values?Of should we just create a template project and copy it for each new project?P.S, We do intend to move to Digital Media Publisher (DMP) or PTC's latest equivalent.Our publishing guys are simply comfortable with CD-ROM Composer at this time (with ArborText Editor 5.3)Gerry ChampouxWilliams InternationalWalled Lake, MI

I am trying to add profiling to text in a table, we are creating a parts catalog and have a requirement to add part numbers to the catalog that some of our clients do not need to see. So I thought that this may be an easy way to show and hide content. When I created the table, in order to see the text centered aligned, I removed any elements from the text. When trying to apply this profiling it seems that you need to have a element. Can I show or hide Columns instead.ThanksBryon

hi We are using ISOViewer for viewing cgm images in our e-commerce application. We are planning to build Android app. Android by default does not support viewing of cgm image. Can ISOViewer be used for viewing cgm images? If yes, can someone explain how to integrate ISOViewer with our app?ThanksRavi Kanth

We keep getting an error for a specific attribute. Invalid value "" for attribute "monographstatus" Even though I have set a default value to "none" in the DTD, the editor does not actually insert the attribute in context until you manuall go into the Modify Attribute box and set the value to none. Only then will it actually show up in the editor.I was wondering how can you can automatically set the value (acl) of the attribute if it's blankI don't know how do to acl but it would be something like this:IF attribute "monographstatus="" then value=noneIF attribute "monographstatus="anything else" then don't do anything.Make sense?OR - is there a way for the Editor to set the default values in the editor.Hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.Thanks, Darquise.

We want to start inserting QR tags in our paper documents to provide an online link to them. Do we need to mess around with inserting a PNG file into the document or does anyone know if Arbortext has specialized support for QR tags?

Hello,I have experimented with creating PDF bookmark entries.Arbortext Editor truncates the length of the bookmark entriesafter 65 characters.There is no difference, if the PDF bookmarks are automaticallycreated or created by the stylesheet (Direct PDF feature).Does anybody know how to change this behavior?Is this a feature or known bug?ThanksJürgen SchnurrTechnische Dokumentation--

In Annotation you have the text reference to introduce an automatic text in plane.How to create a new text reference like meterial or mass, to integrate the information in a text box?

Hello!I created two types of hatching in the file "Hatching_new.iso". One of them is "Type 1" - copied from the template file "DefaultHatchings.iso" in Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1 M070 (located on the path: C: \ Program Files \ PTC \ Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1 \ Program \ Patterns), a second type of "Type 2" - created new and, thus, does not work. Why is hatching "Type 2" does not work properly when hatching a closed object?

Hi I would like to know if any one has attempted to come up with a ROI template for using arbor text in structured authoring? I would really appreciate if we can discuss and share information related to this topic.RegardsGladstone

Hi!I am a new user with ISODRAW 7.2, and will direct a project that will transfer the existing technical manuals using Arbortext editor 6.0 (with styler)The organization have just begun using Windchill for the technical documentation regarding CAD.Now it is my turn to implement the manuals.So, will i need additional software/add-ons to create a manual with the iSpec 2200-standard of ATA?What are your thoughts and recommendations?RegardsLars

I have a legacy application that consists of stylesheets for the following:- Editor environment- XSLT for HTML output used by an IETM viewer- XSL-FO for PDF generation used by a 3rd party applicationCurrently all of these stylesheets have been developed independently, but should be kept consistent. The HTML output uses a lot of Javascript to manage some fault isolation steps. The Javascript hides the branches not taken during the isolation process; rather than showing a bunch of steps with links to the correct next step (as would be shown in the Editor while authoring). The same steps in PDF are actually rendered via SVG to produce flow charts.These stylesheets are for S1000D data modules, so they are a bunch of individual topics that are then organized as a publication. Currently the PDF is generated by the 3rd party application because it is used to organize the content and bring it together as a single XML file (from SGML data modules).I'm thinking about refactoring all these styles

Hi,Can someone help in getting rid of the issue/warning I am running with? Anyadvice is welcome.Assumptions:

Just wondering if there is a way to tell where a topic is used? Would a CMS tell us which dita maps contain certain topics, if we needed to search for a specific one.eg If we reuse a parts list and illustration from a parts catalog in an instruction, and then update the parts list and illustration in the parts catalog, how will we know that the kit instruction also needs to be updated?ThanksBryon

One of our illustrators has asked if I can put a macro to a function key so he doesn't have to keep picking the macro from a toolbar.I can't find anything that says function keys can be set manually, so just hoping someone knows different.

One of my clients might need an S1000D expert (which I am not) for a production project.Any developer(s) out there who would be available as a contractor for the work? Note that this is just an inquiry about an inquiry, and the timing is unknown.Unless other Adepters really want to know about this, you can reply privately to me.Thanks!Suzanne NapoleonSuzanneNapoleon@FOSIexpert.com."WYSIWYG is last-century technology!"
