  This works in AE 6.0, but not 6.1. AE can't find the graphic file. From what I've read in the help I don't know what else is required:putgraph graphname="logo" placemnt="before" hscale="65" vscale="65"></putgraph>  Declared in the fosi:<!ENTITY logo PUBLIC "-//WOODWARD//ENTITIES CMM Logo//EN" NDATA cgm><!NOTATION cgm PUBLIC "-//ISBN 0-7923-9432-1::Graphic Notation//NOTATION ANSI/ISO Computer Graphics Metafile//EN">  catalog:PUBLIC "-//WOODWARD//ENTITIES CMM Logo//EN" "entities/xxxxxxx.cgm" (the file is there as well as in the doctype folder. I've also tried a fully qualified URL (C:/Program Files/PTC/Arbortext PE/custom/doctypes/.../xxxxxxx.cgm)

Hi,our users often copy and paste text from a pdf file into a xml file in Arbortext Editor 6.1.If they do this, they get the carriage return into xml, which is displayed like an arrow:Now we would like to search this carriage returns, which has the entity-code: 
Unfortunately we cannot search this returns. This is also not possible with the "find" command. The only way to find them, is the method with "find selection". But we also would like to replace them.Anybody an idea?Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,we work with the Arbortext Editor 6.1 and want to copy e.g. lists from a Winword document into the xml file. With a dcf file we can control how the Editor inserts this fragments into xml.Everything works like bold, italic and paragraphs. But in numbered lists we would like to insert the number as an attributeValue.Example:This is a list in Word:If we copy this list and insert into our xml file in Arbortext Editor, we get following structure:As you can see there is always "1." as attribute value inside the <item>-tag. This is because we have following entry in our dcf-file:Do you have an idea, if it is possible to insert the number which is countered in word into a xml attribute with an dcf-file? We hope you can help us. Thank you in advance for your help.

We are in the process of updating to TIA from SMA. Currently with SMA we have two stylesheets one for Editor and one for print. Is this common? What are the disadvantages if we only have one? Benefits of having two?ThanksBryon

Hello,Here's a brief overview of the situation;We have 4 licences in total at the moment, two for IsoDraw 7.1 with CADProcess and the other two for IsoDraw 7.1 Foundation, running from a licence server, the problem currently being experienced is that we cannot open IsoDraw 7.1 in foundation only mode because it defaults to opening with CADProcess thus not allowing computers to run the foundation licences.Could the problem be caused by the command line used to launch the software (missing command, etc.)?Command Line: C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1\Program\IsoDraw71.exe==Edit 05/02/2016==Stated in the screen capture below, newer versions of IsoDraw (7.3) allow you to choose which one is activated from inside a UI, while in older versions (such as ours) the command line was apparently the only way to set the licence options.This is why I think a modification to the command line above could fix the problem we face, does anybody know what that modification would be?Regards

I know, we are dinosaurs. But I have been told that Print Preview is not available on 5.4. We use it on 5.3, but for users with 5.4 Print Preview is grayed out. We are moving a group to 5.4 and would really like to have Print Preview.

Our editors rely on a handful of toolbar buttons that were removed in Arbortext 7.  I have most of them replaced, but I still need to tweak one of them.I've been digging through the Arbortext 7 Customizing Guide trying to figure out how to create a new toolbar toggle button that restores the Document Map button that toggles between Document Map view and Normal view.  I haven't found a solution yet and thought someone here might have done this already.  I currently have a button that shows the Document Map view, but in order to duplicate the functionality of the button as it existed in Arbortext 5, it needs to toggle between Document Map and Normal views.  Has anyone done that yet or know how to create such a button? Here's one of the custom toolbars I assembled with the Document Map button first in the set:<toolbar id="toolbar_Randy_Views" name="GC Views" x="50" y="25"><?Pub Dtl?><button command="ViewDocmap" id="Toolbar_Views_Randy"image="imageDocumen

Still rather new at this SGML stuff.  I'm assuming this is a stylesheet issue, but don't know what to look for.  Here's the problem:First, what works right:  When I create an xref to a step1, the xref generated text shows, for example, "4.3 a".What doesn't work right:  When I create an xref to a step2, the xref generated text *should* show, for example, "4.3 a (1)", but instead shows "4.3 (1)" (leaving out any reference to the intervening step1); if I xref step 4.3 b (1), it shows the exact same thing ("4.3 (1)"), which is clearly not helpful.A similar problem exists when xref'ing step3's and step4's:  Instead of "4.3 a (1)(c)" I get "4.3 (c)" (leaving out any reference to the intervening step1 *and* step2); etc.We're currently at Arbortext 6.1 M30, but we had the same problem with Arbortext 5.3 (identical stylesheet).As I said, I assume this can be fixed in the stylesheet, but I need someone to point me in the right direction.  Any guidance would be appre

Hi I am trying to create a glossary. I have created all the glossentries. (Which have (indexlist) in brackets in their names.) They will not attach onto the Glossary list. A No Entry sign comes up.What do I need to do?Thanks

Conrefs and hrefs (content references and links) that worked in a previously published representation do not work in the current representation published from WIndchill, the links are right in Arbortext - this seems to have popped up since the Publishing Engine was updated to 6.1 M070 from M030.  The JPG file attached shows errors in red that is appearing where hrefs were used to point users to other related content. These links appeared as expected before the Publishing Engine was updated, and afterwards these errors are the result.Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas? I have escalated to PTC support as well, but thought I would mine the greater mind of the community as well.

We have a model name that has an Italicized letter in it. How do I get the keydef to support italics?ThanksBryon

Hi, all. Sometimes I want to comment out my DITA code with XML comments (Insert > Comment.)  But when it's time to uncomment it out without going to the untagged view, I'm stumped. What's the easy way to do this?ThxSteve

I'm adding an options file for our flexnet license server. In the options file I want to specify a TIMEOUT option for our print composer license. The line I added is "TIMEOUT 284 300." 284 is the print composer module and 300 is the number of seconds after which the license is reclaimed. When I restart the license server and check the log file it tells me that the print composer has had a TIMEOUT set for 1200 seconds. Any value less than 1200 results in the same outcome. Any value greater than 1200 results in the actual value being used. Is 1200 the minimum amount of time for a TIMEOUT? Is there anyway to override this minimum?Thanks,Rick

I was wondering if there are other ways to configure PE to publish multiple jobs from PDMlink other than setting up another PE server.  I was wondering if there would be a way to do that with sub processes?Any help would be greatly appreciated!  - Brian

There is a request to add c-size drawings to our manuals. I would like to know how to add it to my style sheet.This is what I have done so farIn styler:1. Make a copy of the existing stylesheet.2.  I go to Page Type, I locate the the foldout (11 X 17) that we currently have defined and I copy all the types and rename them to foldout2.3. I then go to page set, locate the foldout page set, copy it and rename it foldout2 page set. In the page size I change the page size to C size. Under page types I change the page types to reference the new foldout2 page types.4. Keep the page region the same5. Click on the element foldout, copy and paste rename to foldout2. It states that this new element is not in my document type. I cannot figure out where this is. Is this my servicemanual.dtd? I have searched the file for the word foldout but it is not in there. I read through the adding new elements to your stylesheet article in the help, but it does not cover the error message a20377.ThanksBry

I have opened a document from ACM that includes several bursted objects or fragments. Selecting Edit > Edit Selection as XML Source results in:<cards><xi:include href="x-wc://file=0000119577.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"><xi:fallback><!--Fallback markup for "x-wc://file=0000119577.xml"--></xi:fallback></xi:include><xi:include href="x-wc://file=0000119576.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"><xi:fallback><!--Fallback markup for "x-wc://file=0000119576.xml"--></xi:fallback></xi:include><xi:include href="x-wc://file=0000119575.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"><xi:fallback><!--Fallback markup for "x-wc://file=0000119575.xml"--></xi:fallback></xi:include></cards>Typing "edit -current -untagged" in the Command line presents similar results. Is there a way to edit those fragments as XML?Thank you,Lisa

Hello Guys!So I'm working on the creation of an XUI dialog in Arbortext Editor, what I would like to know is if there's a way to avoid to create the dialog twice. The way how I create the dialog is creating a new option in the menus bar and from there I call the script to create the window. I have another window and I'm using a global variable to store its ID so I can validate if the window is active or don't, however I think I can improve that method.Any ideas? In advance I appreciate so much your time!Paulette
