We have created a few macros in IsoDraw that we have assigned to a toolbar with an icon. What causes this toolbar to stop working? We can still use the menu, macros, then choose our macro and it will run, but if you use the toolbar it does not respond.Bryon

We are using Creo Illustrate 3.0, accessing Windchill through Work Group Manager. When we start a new file we import from Windchill in order to maintain the link to the original PVZ file. However, when the PVZ file is changed based on engineering changing their files, our Creo Illustrate files does not update, nor prompts us that it's changed. This is very frustrating when I know the design intent is for the data to stay linked/related.Can anyone tell me what we may be doing wrong? Could it be something in Work Group Manager isn't set up correctly?Here's our General Loading setting for Creo Illustrate:

We have installed Work Group Manager to integrate IsoDraw with PDMLink. I want to use .asm files, but I don't get that option when selecting from my workspace - only graphic types are listed. I could choose .pvz files, but I cannot guarantee that all the geometry is updated in the .pvz. How are others creating illustrations in IsoDraw from Creo data?

How to add header of the table in each page if table (say spare part list) is continued across multiple pages?

Hi,I would like to duplicate an ACM server (for testing) on a new environnement.From my understanding, on the source side, I need to :- export the source data base (with ORACLE pump)- export source LDAP from Windchill Directory Server- backup the Windchill vaultsIs there anything else to export or back up from source ?Then, on the new environnement, I hate to install ACM and then :- import the data base- import the LDAP- copy the Windchill vaultsIs this procedure OK ? Where do I have to pay particular attention ?

Hi,How to position the main book title centered? I use default SMA Dita provided with Arbortext. I tried changing the margins but of no use.--Dhinesh

Bringing this to the experts hope someone can help...We have a library of Warning XML files stored in an Oracle repository that we link to other XML files by creating file entities. The file entity is created by using the URL link to the warning file. (http://<server Name>:0000/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=OSCLSLIMSAP21O1035007&RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased).This works great for doctypes that are validated by a DTD. However we have several doctypes that have Schemas. When trying to insert the file entity into an XML file that is validated by a schema I'm getting a context rules error. I believe this to be because it is looking for the namespace on the file it is inserting (xmlns attribute).Since we are working with several different doctypes with different namespaces adding the xmlns attribute to the warning files is not possible.Any guidance on how to address this issue would be great appreciated.Sarah Price

I am creating a CGM file. In the past when I have created CGM files they always seem to be smaller than the IDR and definitely smaller than an exported TIF file. I am creating a file now by taking a TIF photograph and then putting a call out on the photograph to a particular part. That is the only thing I am doing to the file. When I save as an IDR the file size is 702 KB when I export the file out as a CGM it grows to 1,757KB. When I export the file out as TIF it is 678 KB. Anyone have an idea what might be causing this or something to look for?Keith

Hi,I am working as an technical illustrator. I installed some softwares as following.Autodesk InventorPTC Creo ParametricPTC IsoDraw CADprocessCorelDrawWindchillArbotext EditorI have two working processOpen 3D model in Inventor  > Create 2D drawing as CAD file > Open the drawing in CorelDraw > Modify the drawing and export it to SVGOpen 3D model in IsoDraw > Create 2D drawing as CGM > Open CGM in CorelDraw > Modify the drawing and export it to SVGI upload SVG to Windchill one by one.I think it will be easy to use if there is a link between Isodraw and Windchill.There are two choices for me. IsoDraw and Creo Illustrate. I want to know which one is better.Thanks.br, Lily

Hi Everyone,We have traditionally published our content to PDF and so far we use EPS as the standard image format as this renders the best result. We did toy with SVG at one point, but Arbortext just rastorized it (at least at the time it did when we used V6.0).We are embarking on producing ePUB's, but the resulting PNG files are published at 96 DPI which is too low.Looking at the Arbortext manuals, there is a setting:set defaultprintdpiset defaultprintdpi= valueThis command specifies the resolution value in images resulting from PTC Arbortext Editor converting SVG and PVZ images for print and PDF output. value is a positive integer specifying the resolution in dpi (dots per inch). If defaultprintdpi is not set, PTC Arbortext Editor assumes a value of 300.However by the manual's own admission this only applies to SVG and PVZ images and only when publishing to PDF.Is there another way to configure how Arbortext converts EPS to PNG when publishing to ePUB? Or are we stuck coming up with

Hi Folks,I have one other question related to ePub's. Has anyone else got any ideas of how best to convert tables to Images when publishing to ePub?We find that HTML rendered tables are useless when rendering to ePub as many readers just crunch the column size really narrow. To date we have found the best thing for end users is to have table images which would allow them to scroll sideways. What do others do in this scenario and if you have used image tables, how have you rendered these on-the-fly?Thanks,Rob.

Hi Folks,We are working towards using Arbortext (6.1 in this case) to render our traditionally PDF content into an ePub format. We have a somewhat custom schema and the rendered document looks pretty good - however Arbortext/Calibre seem to split the content into separate pages at seemingly random places.Does anyone know if there is a way to control where the HTML content is split for the ePub format (or even how the point the page is split today is chosen). Otherwise our only option is to do post processing to reconstitute the file, and re-split how we see fit. Thanks in advance,Rob.
