Hello community, our Team uses for image search Adobe bridge CS6 and it is working fine. Every Isodraw file in Adobe bridge CS6 is showing as a thumbnail. Fine. Now, we have new group members and they uses Isodraw also. Same version, same pc. But the image search in Adobe bridge CS6 is not working. Instead the thumbnail is the programm icon shown. In the attachment there are two screenshots. How can we solve the issue? Any ideas? Regards

Hello, I'm using Arbortext Editor in combination with Intelligent graphics (PVZ files created in Creo Illustrate).Both are stored and managed in Windchill.Now I was wondering if it is possible to insert pvz files with a specific lifecycle state of version.For example in topic test.xml I want version A of graphic 123.pvz and not the latest one which is version B.So does someone know if this is possible?

Détails de la requête : 13969240 <noscript> Hello,I try to use the Java Pipeline example (HTMLFileComposer.class in the directory C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\samples\pipeline).I use this ACL code to launch the java method "composeToHtmlFromDoc"function composeHTML() { local doc=current_doc(); local stylesheet="C:/temp/ie/s1000d_2_3.xsl"; local outputFile="C:/temp/test.htm"; local ret = java_static("HTMLFileComposer","composeToHtmlFromDoc",doc,stylesheet,outputFile);}When I execute the ACL function "composeHTML".Arbortext Editor return the following error:[A30135] cannot load class HTMLFileComposer because a dependent class was not found.Why this error?Nothing is displayed in Java console.RegardsDavid

I am trying to find a way to capture the character immediately to the left of the cursor from within one of my ACL functions. For example, let's assume that my | character is the cursor and I have this text "The fox is furry and red" If my cursor is positioned like so: "The fox is| furry and red" then I should get the character 's' which is immediately to the left of my cursor shown above.   There is a command called attribute (or just att) that returns a bunch of information, but how do I get the single character shown in the return of that att command? It seems that it can only be used on the command line, but I need to find a way to do this in my ACL script.   Any help would be greatly appreciated because the ACL reference is not clear on how to use this command. Also, perhaps there's a BETTER way (i.e. another ACL function) to get the character as described above. Either way, please have a look and let me know your thoughts on it. - Giorgio

Hi Everyone, I built a custom toolbar by editing the editwindow.xml file in Arbortext (C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext Editor\lib\dialogs) however, I understand that it is not the correct way to add a custom toolbar. I've read a great part of the customization guide and also the programmers guide, but I just cannot find the information I need, in the form of a code sample,  that will help me do this all correctly.   I have removed the toolbar XML code from the editwindow.xml file and put it into a new file called "my-custom-toolbar.xml". I have also created a new file called "my-custom-toolbar.acl" that hopefully can be used to load the toolbar when a document is opened up in the Arbortext editor. Both of these files are in a following location on my PC:   C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext Editor\custom\editinit   I think I am close to succeeding because when I put a response("HELLO") message within the above ACL file, it showed up as expected. Unfortunately

I have a user whose scroll bar area is as white the text background. There is a grey bar that she can grab and scroll with, and if she clicks over or under that bar, the page will "scroll", so the bar itself is working fine. But the background of the scroll area is not there. It's not a big deal, but the user used to have this feature until getting a new machine. Unfortunately it was months ago so her old machine (and install) is long gone. See the screen shot of my view. She has the dark grey bar, but not the light grey area next to the word "from" It's just as white as the page background..

Good morning all, I'm new to Arbortext and need to know what database platforms are supported for use as a CSDB?CheersJohn

I need to count the front matter and rear matter of each volume in a book to display in each volume's LEP. The counters are incremented in the page sets and saved to a time-independent variable. Then that TIV is saved to another TIV in the rear matter (<vol-rear> below) for the LEP. This is not working as desired, all the LEP front-rear page counts are returning the front-rear page count of the last volume. If I save the TIV to a TDV in <vol-rear> instead, the result is blank. I thought you could save a TIV to a TDV. Is there a way to get these page counts in the FOSI? I'm using Arbortext 6.0. Thanks for any suggestions.   The tagging is: <volume> front matter...(includes LEP)                 </volume> <tim>                 <titlepg> last of front matter</

Hi,We are using Arbortext editor for developing XML content. We have a list of words that should not appear in our XML files. Is there a feature currently available that will highlight these words and inform the user that the words are part of the "Do not use" list. Please let me know if this functionality can be achieved in Arbortext editor. If yes, how?   Thanks,Rafiq

Hello, I have a lot of sgml files in a directory. I would like to convert them with arbortext editor (to keep change tracking PI) without open them one by one... Is there a way ? I found some topics here but nothing really helpfull. Thanks for your help. Benjamin

Has anyone been able to integrate Arbortext and Windchill when single sign on protocol is in place?

Are there any impacts on Arbortext Editor 7.0 with Print Composer when composing xsl-fo to PDF if the environment variables are setup as USER environment variables and the software was installed by administrator? Having issues getting the following to work: <fo:external-graphic src="url({$slash2})" /> The value inside the url() does resolve correctly.

I am trying to find a good way for Reviewers in Windchill  to see the "othermeta" data from Arbortext without needing Arbortext. We want them to not only review the deliverables but also the metadata.Just wondering others may be doing?

If you create schematron files for concept, task, topic, or glossentry, the documentation indicates that you put the doctype.sch in the Arbortext\doctypes folder.  This is extremely vague, as the real location of the file goes in your Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\document_type folder.  At least the former did not work for me, perhaps someone has had a different experience.  Since this works for Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\bookmap\bookmap.sch and Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\map\map.sch, my assumption was that this should also work for concept, task, etc.  Also, all of the xsd files fall under Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\oasis\technicalContent\xsd, and placing schematron files there does not work either.   Arbortext only provides instructions for specifying your schematron file by using their Architect tool.  You would have to have consumed the Arbortext_path\doctypes\read

I would like to get in the linetypes and create linetypes with arrow sizes beyond what is currently available in the program. Is there a way to customize the lines. I want to create lines with arrows that are less than 20X size.I am using IsoDraw 7.3 M031 build 1Keith Howard

We recently upgraded our computers and since then I find that Isodraw illustrations typically take about 5 seconds to load where previously smaller ones would load instantly. I thought it was something I'd have to live with, but I've just opened up 2 illustrations that loaded instantly. They are similar in size to illustrations done at the same time which all take 5 seconds to load. This makes me think there may be something in our illustrations that is making Isodraw pause whilst loading, but that it isn't in these 2 that load instantly. Does anyone know of anything that's likely to slow down loading that isn't related to the illustration size?  

Hi,   How do I capture the value of an attribute of an element on a page while formatting, especially when the element spans over multiple pages? Basically, I am looking to capture the value of a change attribute(s) found on each page and store it into an array and then display it on the LEP to the corresponding page. I am familiar with store it into an array and then display it. Thank you in advance! Have a blessed day! Florin

I'm developing custom application for Arbortext V 7.0 using Java. My application needs active window id to load the JFrame. When I open any ditamap document the Resource Manager window on the left pane of Arbortext editor becomes the active window by default, my custom application loads on that window. However the WindowActivated event doesn't triggered when I try to switch the focus to editor window on the right pane by clicking the mouse button or modifying the text. The WindowActivated event for right side window triggers only when I minimize the editor and restore it.   This behavior cases my application to crash, as when I open the application it gets reference of Recourse Manager window, and when I click the button on application to read the content the focus automatically switches to editor window.   Questions: Why the WindowActivated event triggers for Resource Manager window? As this happens only once and this event never triggeres

I want to change or customize html publishing process. Are there any description of the publishing process? Which ACL scripts, XSL, CCF and other files are using in the html publishing process?

I want to automatically export attached files(PDF, HTML) of WTDocument (which is a result of creating representation from Dynamic Documents) to the external location(local or network drive). Now I can manually load this attached files. But it is very long if I have 500+ documents. How to do it automatically?

We are trying to create links to external web pages from the pdf. We are using the internet tag to create the link, but the link includes the URL. This is not what we want to happen. We want to have a descriptive title for the link. Is there any way to do this? We thought we would be able to use the link tag with a title child element, but this does not work.    So we want to have a link to google.com to appear as Google instead of http://google.com Does anyone know if this can be done?

How do I create dotfill and space fill with Styler for APP via javascript?
