Anyone out there using c-size paper for their printed schematics. We currently use B size for foldouts. There is a possibility of needing to switch to C size. Any other options out there for larger schematics on a printed output?Bryon

I'm trying to write a macro that rounds numbers. The code asks users for a number, and the macro rounds to 2 after the decimal place. First of all, I'd like to know if Isodraw has a built in round function. That would save me some time. I searched the 7.2 IML Reference (even though I'm using 7.3 because I can't seem to get access to 7.3 IML) and there didn't seem to be a built in round function. Nonetheless I proceeded to write a rounding submacro which takes a user input for a number and rounds the 2nd digit after the decimal. However I noticed that my numbers were often altered after I input them. And so I used this text macro to test it:macro numtest define number as float define numasstring as string number = get float "Number" numasstring = number message numasstringend macroWhen I input 8.591, I get 8.59.Similarly,8.592 --> 8.5928.593 --> 8.5938.594 --> 8.5938.595 --> 8.5958.596 --> 8.5968.597 --> 8.5968.598 --> 8.5988.599 --> 8.5998.600 --> 8.599It see

HI,I want to add BOM table in Arbortext for a service manual. I am adding BOM table manually in the Editor. I would like to know if there is any other way to add BOM table automatically in the Editor.

Our office recently made the switch from Arbortext 5.3 to 6.1.We have node-locked licenses for all our new 6.1 machines and today have just come to realize that in this new version, users cannot work remotely via a remote terminal connection. After contacting PTC support, the only way a user can remtoely use Arbortext is with a floating (more expensive) license type.In 5.3, node-locked or individual licenses worked fine over a remote connection and now we might get burned by this licensing change. Is there no other alternative than to just buy the more expensive floating license?? I'm just posting here to maybe see how others dealt with this change as we can't have been the only ones burned by this.

Running IsoDraw 7.3 on Win7 pc.Using Batch to convert CGM files to SVG.Would like to remap all Fonts (most are Arial), changing them to Helvetica.How to batch change the Fonts, whether in the file while it's open, or during the batch export process?We certainly could write code and run it against the SVG files afterward, but will IsoDraw do it?Thanks,Dave

After converting from 5.3 to 7.0 I found, when editing a table, I am getting an odd error when I attempt to use the editmenu.cf item Table->Modify Borders... . The message states: "[A30355] IDispatch error #8960 evaluating script: ??" where the first word is IDispatch (leading I) and the ?? is generally a short string of Unicode characters that looks like random memory data.After selecting OK on the error dialog a variation of the previous Modify Cell Borders (now named Modify Borders) dialog does come up however, the preview portion of the dialog does not have a preview displayed and I cannot change border settings for my table.

In windows 7, if I open AE 7.0 by double-clicking the editor.exe file directly from it's directory (I am using the x64 version) I can then open the Help->About PTC Arbortext Editor menu item without issue.If, instead, I open a command window (cmd.exe) and then open the AE 7.0 application (editor.exe) from that window the Help->About PTC Arbortext Editor menu item will show an error. It is due to the use of an ActiveX component to fill the text space on the panel.Is there any way to open AE from a command window so ActiveX error will not occur? I need this method of activation when setting up my customer.

Creo illustrate without print preview and page format setting function, without the print preview function, users can't output check the position of the graph and text right before..No page format setting function, users can't according to the need to adjust the size of the print specification instruction content.Hope PTC company can improve and increase the function.3 DIVA Composer has the function of these two aspects, this is human nature, the user can preview inspection before final print content layout..

Hi,In Footer . I am Not able to Reduce the Table Height. Is there any way reduce the default row height.Regards,K.K

A user reported an issue when trying to insert a graphic using a FIG tag. The exact scenario is shown here. The user has inserted a graphic using FIG and TITLE. Our Fig element logic looks for: if fig in procinfo, else if fig in li, else fig everywhere else.I also included what I believe is the result of that logic, the specific XPATH language in use for this situation, "Fig Everywhere Else". The error does not seem to actually affect anything since the user can still create the topic, use in publication structures, etc, but we are worried that it may be a bigger issue down the road. I am relatively new to Styler, and I am not sure what to even check for to start debugging this issue. Help!The actual error reads:Cannot evaluate XPath expression in stylesheet [A30282] Invalid XPath expression: The prefix 'child' is not declared. Element: fig: Xpath expression: (not(Child:title/text()))

Regardless of the settings in the SVG export preferences the file for the svg export keeps the artboard. Putting the XML content through a transform causes the graphics to occupy an entire page. I have even attempted to make the artboard the size of the graphic. I still see an artboard in the export that far exceeds the borders of the graphic.

HiI keep encountering a problem with CGM exports from Isodraw.I need to keep the positive cross hatchings when exporting to CGM, but sometimes it shows up black (See bottom picture)Figure 1: View in Isodraw. (Original IDR file)Figure 2: View in CATIA after CGM export.Why does the left figure show up hatched but the right shape comes out all black?After reopening the cgm in IsoDraw, it looks like the hatching had been corverted to a bunch of lines on the left, but the right (black shape) was not.Figure 3: View in Isodraw after cgm export.How do I make them both like the left side?Nothing I've tried to the right figure changes the outcome so far: (Coverting to polyline, converting to elements, adding handles, etc)Any guidance is appreciated!Teddy

We've just gone from 5.3 to 6.1 M030.  I was not allowed to access the release notes on ptcusercommunity.com ("Account not authorized").  Does such a "differences" list exist in an accessible place?Thanks,Mic
