Arbortext

Hi All,What is the procedure to migrate from ACM 9.1 to Windchill SIM 11.0 ?Thanks !

Hey folks,I'm trying to work with named paste buffers in a callback to manipulate content before it is output to the current doc.I'm finding that Arbortext is getting confused on which is the current doc depending upon what actions I'm performing. For instance, if I do oid_delete(some_oid), it removes the oid from the buffer. However, if I do a change_tag, it wants to act upon the document currently open in the window. I thought this was perhaps an issue with commands versus functions, but goto_oid() also works in the document window rather than the buffer.Here is a snippet of my code where I am setting things up with the named buffer.buffer_create("_temp_");set paste = "_temp_";local bufstr;buffer_clipboard_contents(bufstr);insert_buffer(bufstr,1,"_temp_");local pdoc = buffer_doc("_temp_");local root = oid_first(pdoc);The oid_first() function works OK. This would lead me to think that Arbortext has picked up on the named buffer as the current doc, but as I described, it gets flakey. I

Hey All,So here is my situation. I have a working export macro which just exports a tiff of my current isodraw drawing. However from time to time I'll export a drawing and forget it, then run a batch export macro on an entire folder and my macro will take that tiff image that i forgot about and overwrite my vector art with the raster tiff. Is there a way for my macro to only recognition .iso files? or not export the .iso if a .tiff of the same name already exists? Or if anyone else has any suggestions, thanks in advance - Justin

I am having an issue with Arbortext Publishing Engine 7.0 M010 using an XSL-FO stylesheet. PE is not reading the fo:external-graphic content height attribute value.CODE: <fo:external-graphic src="cams.png" content-height="0.50in"/>It blows the graphic up more that 10 times the size. The only content height I have been able to get to work is a percentage.Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so what did you do to correct it?Thanks,Sarah Price

If I receive a list of cgms, is there a way to identify what version (1, 2, 3 or 4) the cgms are?

I created pseudo elements in my document with ACL:<?Pub _source_data><?Pub _rqrd_itemattr1="source2" attr2="Required Source Data Item"><?Pub /_rqrd_item><?Pub_src_item attr1="source1" attr2="value1"><?Pub /_src_item><?Pub _src_itemattr1="source3" attr2="value3"><?Pub /_src_item><?Pub /_source_data>I am trying to use the FOSI to format these elements:<e-i-c gi="_source_data"><charlist charsubsetref="standalone"><usetext source="\SOURCE DATA:\" placemnt="after"><subchars charsubsetref="gentext"></subchars></usetext></charlist></e-i-c>I can't seem to get it to work.  Am I missing something.  I am using PTC 5.3.

reviewing our options, want to understand if there are any single contractors who focus on Arbortext/Windchill specifically?

Hi all,I'm pretty lost here and would appreciate any help/hint that comes my way. First of all, I'm working with Arbortext 7 with Styler.I have a TOC element in my XML and also a "list of shortcuts" (holds definitions) and an "index". All 3 of them are auto generated and by rules in the DTD no title elements are allowed. Actually, no child elements are allowed in any of them.I would like to create 2 entries/links in the TOC (published to PDF). 1 for the index and the second for the list of shortcuts. I need only the titles and page numbers in the same format as the rest of the TOC entries.The TOC of the document is configured to read only "title" elements/context so I'm not able to add anything else.Thanks in advance for any ideas thrown this way.Tasos

And I am using a Arbortext trial version for moment,1.I tried to create a sample dita file with "Hello" as title. I am trying to translate Hello to different languages like French , German.2. I exported the XLIF file from the new Style file and imported it back to the styler with out any modification.3. I tried to edit the lanugage = "en" to "fr"/"de" and import the .dita file back to the Arbortext editor.4. Publishing does not show any translation . Pls help me on this topic considering the fact the trail version is used .Regards.Sriram Rammohan

So Tech Writer is trying to compose Arbortext file to PDF and getting this error. The following should be true: (-1 <=vl && lvl < maxlevel - 1) in the file ../src/fchange.cpp:988What does this mean?  I'm not very familiar Arbortext, so not sure if there is a more specific log error to look for?  Other similar files are composing just fine?

Hi,we would like to get all '<simpara>'-Elements within an array (as each entry), if the user marks some <simpara>s.This is for example the marked selection:<simpara role="klein">This is a test text<emphasis role="underlined">with emphasis elements</emphasis> inside simpara</simpara><simpara>Lorem ipsum</simpara><simpara>Test test test <emphasis role="italic_on">asdfasdf</emphasis>lol omg</simpara><simpara>Test text with footnote inside<footnote><simpara>footnote text</simpara></footnote>lorem lorem</simpara><simpara>Pun<emphasis role="bold_on">asdfasdf</emphasis>kt 6</simpara>As you can see, in this example there are 5 <simpara>'s which we would like to get in an array like this:$arr[0] = <simpara role="klein">This is a test text<emphasis role="underlined">with emphasis elements</emphasis> inside simpara</simpara>$arr[1] = &l

Okay I am having a little issue with a small script I am trying to create.Here it is in a nutshell.  I need to flatten the current document, send it to a service and then open the original file again.  The first two are no problem. I am having a heck of a time opening the original book back up from PDMLink.Here is my code thus far: package processInteract function createInteract(){     local res1;     local doc;     local newname;     local doc1     doc = current_doc();     doc1 = doc_name(current_doc());     res1 = response("Have you saved? Running this command you will loose any non-saved changes!", "&Yes", "&No", "&Cancel");     if(res1 == "1" ){         doc_flatten;         newname = "c:\\temp\\" . time();         #message_box(newname,0

Our company is upgrading to Windows 10 for all platforms.  Does anyone know of any problems operating Arbortext Editor 6.1, M020 in that operating system?  If there are please let me and everyone else know what they are and any work-arounds that have been identified.

Composing with xsl-fo gives Assertion failed: size < TXF_MARK, file ..\src\stortxt.cpp, line 89 followed by FATAL ERROR: Operation terminate.Using Arbortext Editor 6.0 M070 on WIndows 7. I have a lot of inschlvl attributes. Composes when I remove them. Narrowed it to one file. That file composes by itself. Looks like this may be some sort of Arbortext limitation. Is there any variable I can set to up this limitation, if that is what it is.Has anyone anyone seen this?Thanks,LB

I have been able to follow the online help to make this feature work, but don't understand completely how to use it. It seems based on creating an xref in source, but doesn't this xref need to navigate to another spot in topic or another topic? Confused on this feature.

We are running Arbortext v6.1 M010. We currently don't have either the Publishing Engine or the full version of Styler. To make a manuscript print out (very lightly formatted; suitable for proofreading), we are currently using a third party, Unix-based typesetting system. We would like to move our printing to Windows since we are now using the Windows version of Arbortext. I was wondering is anyone printing or creating a PS or PDF file from Arbortext and not using the Publishing Engine? Is this even possible? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.Regards,Rick

Greetings,Does anyone know if Isodraw 7.2 is compatible with Windows 10? Or Isodraw 7.0 to 7.3 in general?Thanks in advance

Has anyone else encountered this error before?editor.exe: [A30535] capacity exceeded: Pagedef page table entriesWe've been working on a stylesheet for a while, and a recent version started getting this error and refused to open. However, when we went back to earlier versions of it (which previously had opened fine) they also get the same error and refuse to open. We've lost almost a month of work on this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.This is an APP stylesheet, and it is built on another stylesheet which has been getting updated over time as well. We are working in AE Styler 6.0. We've encountered this error before but previously were able to go in and delete some of the page defs and then it allowed us to open it, but when we delete the page defs, now it still won't allow us to open it.

We have Arbortext Publishing Engine, and are looking to retrieve a complete, flattened XML document for a given Object ID by way of a straight HTTP request (not SOAP).Where can we find sample code / documentation?  We'll be using PHP, but examples in any language would do -- or, if there was documentation about how to construct the URL, that would be great too.Much Appreciated!

Hi we have 2 style sheets judicial.artifact.style and and as per PTC suggestion we have placed that in custom.zip under doctypes/judicial.artifact but arbortext is not picking judicial.artifact.limited.style. Could you please help us in resolving this??

Hi all,we are currently authoring in Arbortext 7.0 with Styler and we are using APP to publish our documents in PDF. Everything is working perfectly, except something which I would like to know if it can improved.The setup as it is, requires 3 passes to output PDF, meaning that it goes through all pages 3 times before the PDF is generated. This is ok for small documents, but usually we publish large documents of around 600-700 pages.Is there a way to improve that so that we speed up the publishing process?For example, is there a way to configure how many passes will be run before the PDF is generated?Thank you very much in advance for any hints/tips/assistance.Tasos

We are working with DITA xml. AE 6.1 M080. Whenever I try to insert content within a tag the tags attribute window opens automatically. Can this be disabled? I would like to have the attribute window open manually (CTRL+D). Could this have something to do with our style sheet? Anyone else experience this and if so, do you have a solution?
