I think this was a thread some time back, we upgraded to 6.1M080 and CGM graphics are not viewing. We have Isoview and Creoview on all workstations. It worked in 6.0, somehow it is not picking it up in 6.1. Any ideas or solutions.

Apple's iBook app works awesome with EPUB coming out of Arbortext. Looking for something comparable to recommend to customers for Android. Of course, it needs to be free for consumers to use it. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.

I would like to use a group of entities in one file with a schema and xml is that possible?Should it be saved as a .ent or .xml file and how do I point to it

Using PE and print composer to publish pdfs. It is much quicker to use "print preview" but this is no longer an option since switching to DITA. Are there settings that will improve the time to create the DITA pdfs? The other issue we have is that when the pdf finally appears, if we make further changes to the xml, then we need to close the current pdf so that a new pdf can be created with the changes. Annoying and time consuming. Is there a way to keep the pdf window open and refresh with the revised content? Thanks

  Hello, fellow Illustrators, I'm trying to combine few drawing steps into a macro file for generating some hotspoted items.The creation step is triggered by MouseClick and works fine but I cannot figure out how to make it prompt again for mouseclick. A "while" loop somehow...The relevant code approach (without the changing attributes and so ..) would be:Macro calloutdefine me as MouseEventdefine el as elementdefine ppx1 as Pointdefine ppy1 as Pointme = Wait MouseClickppx1 = me.ptMMGrid.x ppy1 = me.ptMMGrid.yCreate Callout "Normal" ppx1 ppy1 ppx1 ppy1select noneEnd Macro  Any hints would be appreciated.Many thanks in advanceSeb

Currently, a DITA Map is basically shown like this, on the left: dita bookmap structure and on the right: the content (but only dita bookmap content and a link for topic).With the resolved view for edition, we can have the content of topics, but we loose the dita bookmap hierarchical structure (and its content):I would like to have in the same view (green blocks in the preceding illustrations), the dita bookmap structure on the left and the dita topic content resolved (for editing) on the right.  Is that possible () ?

user not able to open the CAD files

I work for a company that has recently started using Arbortext and I'm new to XML/DITA myself. The company doesn't have a CMS (Windchill or otherwise) so right now we are working from a standard Windows file system. The company is rolling out SharePoint, which I've used before with Office apps. Although it isn't as powerful as a CMS, using SharePoint would allow us to manage files for re-use more effectively than with the standard Windows file system. I need to be able to open, edit and save ditamaps and topics in SharePoint. I can create ditamaps and topics to SharePoint, and I can re-open them, but when I try to save a modified file I get an error message saying that SharePoint can't create the necessary temporary files. Has anyone run into this, and do you have a solution? Thanks.

NOTE: Much of the text was strangely removed after publishing...Hello all,Thanks in advance for your help.FunctionI would like the user to insert a project Path via the GET STRING prompt. I would like this prompt to be executed once at the beginning of the Batch Process. The next time this macro is executed, alone or in a Batch Process, the old information should not be contained.  ProblemCheck if the GET STRING global variable is empty at the start of the Batch Process.  Execute the GET STRING command once at the beginning of a Bath Process.DISPOSING of the GLOBAL variable at the end of the Batch Process.ProgressI have managed to assign the GET STRING to a GLOBL variable.AlternativeManually change the macro everytime a new path is required - already exists.ThanksAlan

Does anyone know if there is a quick way of changing curves back to thick and thin if they have been converted to single thickness?You can get thick and thin back using F12 but it converts arcs back to ellipses so you have to cut them out again.

Hi everybody,I am trying to receive the "recovered" Document after a checkout has been cancelled. I just tried using the PostCancelCheckout-Event which should be the latest Event fired after a checkout has been cancelled. The received Document, though, is the Document having all the changes that were made to the Document before the checkout was cancelled.Does anyone know a way, respective an Event, that deilvers the original Doc?Any help is appreciated.Thank you in advance

My question is:Can the publishing engine be installed on each licensed computer locally, or does it have to be on a local server? If not a local server, how do I set up a network server for the publishing engine? Who would I have to contact to set up a network server? PTC technical support perhaps?Thank you - Mike

Hi,     I have been playing with this functionality and have a requirement to have Arbortext write the DTD defined default attribute values. Executing the command after opening the application works as expected but is there any way to set this as a default value and not have to re-execute the command every time the application opens?Thanks!
