Installed 7.0 as usual. Have done this many times for co-workers. Print Preview runs and says it has completed, but no preview file ever comes up.

The Arbortext IsoDraw and IsoView 7.3 M110 release removes the need for Work Group Manager and allows you to connect directly to Windchill.  Managing your IsoDraw projects has never been easier!  Our latest release integrates a direct connection, allowing IsoDraw to handle its own communication with Windchill, and cutting out the need for the IsoDraw Work Group Manager application.  Download IsoDraw and IsoView 7.3 M110 now to optimize your workflow.  With this latest release, you can manage all your content both simply as well as efficiently.  Just use the Open/Save/Import type tools in the file menu of IsoDraw to interact with Windchill.

Objective is to remove a specific string with special characters from a file programmatically.   The problem experienced is, everything leading up to the forward slash I can remove, as soon as i include a forward slash in the $stringToRemove variable, the program fails to perform a substitution with the value "test". Ultimately i will replace "test" with an empty space. Lack of debugging tools makes this a bit tricky to solve.   # $stringToRemove =  '<!string1 % string2 "string3//string4/string5"> %string6; '   $Double_Quote_Symbol  = chr(34)$Percent_Symbol             = chr(37)$Forward_Slash_Symbol = chr(47)   $stringToRemove = "string1 " . $Percent_Symbol . "string2" . $Double_Quote_Symbol . "string3//string4/string5"  execute("substitute -a -c -noe -ws -noq /" . $stringToRemove . "/test")   Note: this is performed on an XML file opened as a text file using "edit -untagged"   I've attempted: 1)

Currently I am able to execute a basic script to open a file, perform data processing, save then close.   For a batch process though, my thought process is to get the directory path filled with the collection of "*.xml" files, iterate over each file path and perform the functions doc_open, <functions to edit file>, doc_save, doc_close.    However as the script iterates over the files it doesn't appear to be making any modications as anticipated, and in the file explorer there is no updated "Date Modified" timestamp confirming that changes have not been made. I get the correct count of xml files stored in the variable $filepaths. When I perform a "message" or "response" command it appears to be the correct $filepath but not certain as it doesn't seem to get modified. the replace function always returns saying "string not found" even though I am certain of the strings existence in the file.   My question is: Where am I going wrong in the logic for ACL Batch File

Hi there,   In our Styler Style sheet we have a attribute called chgstatus which signifies a change to that area and what stage of approval it's in. This chgstatus attribute can be applied to most tags in the XML. This chgstatus is listed in the LOEP and in the footer of the pages that are generated. The problem we're having is that in the footer, it only displays the chgstatus of the container, and not the individual figures.  As you can see here the figure has a chgstatus of "ORIG APPLE" while it's container has a chgstatus of "ORIG PLUM".  On the generated document, the footer displays "ORIG PLUM" instead of "ORIG APPLE". The Footer pulls from chgstatus, but it pulls from the container's chgstatus instead of the more specific one to that page.    Not sure what what the best way to rectify this issue. My initial idea is to make a separate attribute to distinguish them. But I fear that may interfere with the LOEP.  

This will be my first script in ACL and I am having struggle finding examples that can be used to understand the language with respect to accessing the filesystem and performing processes on files.   No matter what I do - the below code I created and execute multiple times appears to perform different behaviors. Sometimes it has performed a replace on the Currently Open Document in arbortext, sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes it presents a message saying "0 new objects scanned and processed." but have gotten to the point where I know how to create ACL code which won't produce errors. Its just not doing what I think it should.    In my example the ultimate goal will be to replace all Unicode characters (en dash, em dash, curly quotes) with ascii characters (hyphen, straight quotes).   $EnDashChr = chr(8211)$EmDashChr = chr(8212)$LeftDoubleCurlyQuote = chr(8220)$RightDoubleCurlyQuote = chr(8221)   $filepath = "C:\\Users\\MyDirectory\\Desktop\\TestXML.xml"$

I urgently need to return an Arbortext Epic 5.3 licence to reallocate it to a different user, however, the site has changed significantly and I cannot find where to return or obtain licences now. I was given instructions by my predecessor but they appear well out of date. I managed to return a licence and obtain a new one about 6 months ago using those instructions but they do not work any more.

  I am hoping this is not too DOD specific for this community and that someone here may be able to assist. I am using DTD 40051C_3_28 (Oct 16) and I inserted a tswp under troublecategory between existing WP 0026 and 0027. I set insertwp=1 and wpseq=0026.1. I inserted figures in WP and they all are showing up in the TOC as 0027-1, -2, ect… not 0026.1-1, 0026.1-2, etc... as I expected. Does any have advice on how to get proper numbering in the TOC with the same WP number as set in wpseq attribute?Steve

Hello,  When I try to use a New StyleSheet or Open Stylesheet with any dita topic file that I was to see the print preview, I am getting a red screen of error. Error message reads: <Level>ERROR</Level><Message>Pg 1 New page sequence not specified;used fallback 'defaultPage'.

When using a split Left-Right View, with one view on Document Map and the other in Edit, the behavior of the Document Map side is different depending on whether you have Track Changes on. To replicate, open a document in Arbortext and place your cursor at the top of the file. Go to Window and select Left-Right Split (if your window is not already split). Click inside the left pane. Go to menu View and select Document Map. Go to menu GC View and select Section Level. Click inside the right pane and go to menu GC View and select View All. Go to Tools, Change Tracking, and make sure Track Changes does not have a check next to it. In the right pane, add or delete text. The left pane does not change. Go to Tools, Change Tracking, and make sure Track Changes is checked. In the right pane, add or delete text. In the left pane, the section you are editing will expand the sectin and show the changes you are making. Question: Can we make the behavior consistent - NOT expanding the map - when tra

I am using IsoDraw 7.3 build M080 build 6 currently. I am working on creating a graphic and was using the "Fillet" command and all was well, then all of sudden the program stop trimming the ellipse and the line segments. I have tried exiting the program and coming back in with no luck.   Has anyone had this happen? I don't know if I might have hit a key or something. It is really puzzling that it was working fine then all of sudden stopped working correctly.   Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.   Keith

Hello this is my first question to this forum. I have read many posts and have been helped by previous questions and answers.   I need to create a macro that reads a value in column A (equal to the opened filename) from an external file (excel, but I can convert it to something else if it would be better.). and copy the value in column B to a textfield with a specific object id.   help/Andreas  

We had a toolbar created for us that is only active in dita topics not in the ditamap. How do I change it to be active for ditamaps? The tool bar always docks and undocks as you close and reopen topics so it never stays in place. What do I need to look for?   Bryon

Anyone using idr's for there images in editor? Do you also use Isodraw for the images? I was thinking about using idrs but anything that is outside the hatched box in Isodraw also shows up in the editor view.

Is there an easy way to reduce the text size for translations. We currently use 10 for English and was thinking about 8 for translations. Is this common practice?   Thanks   Bryon

I have a 2500 page document that is taking 6 hours to generate. It's a custom bookmap with maprefs to topicrefs.   I have 2 issues: The length of time it takes to generate the PDF:Is there a way to break up this document and still get a full index with correct page numbers?  The styling of the index is messed up halfway through the index.We have been generating individual indexes for each document and the index looks good. Once we compiled the full book/PDF, the styling was all messed up. Our deadline to finalize content is next week. Note we have approx 142 topicrefs, broken down into approx 20 maprefs. Also, note, we used PE 7.0 to generate the PDF. I am currently testing with Styler to see if there's any improvement.   Can anyone help or offer advice on how to handle this large document or why the styling of the index is all messed up. I am attaching a screenshot of the index.     I can live with the 6 hour performance, however, I really need to fix the s

Hi,   I tried to run activation file but kept getting the error “All subprocesses are currently busy”, even though we set the configurations according to the instructions we were given for replacing APP-E with APE as well as configurations in Tomcat 8.5 We don't have other subprocesses, as far as we know, so we aren't sure what's wrong.

Hello everyone, we are looking at creating an online help system. The web output from editor is not really useful so far. Looking for some guidance of what we should be looking for. Also looking for examples of what you have done. We are using the TIA application and the Simonsoft CMS for our content management.   Thanks   Bryon
