Hi folks—For those of you who may not have stopped to read these messages from PTC/USER, or who may not have caught the implications, here is the summary:PTC/USER is shutting down the server that runs the Adepters email list.Their idea is to migrate all the PTC/USER discussion groups to the PTC-hosted PTC communities system. For those who haven’t used that system before, it’s kind of like Facebook for PTC users. They do have a dedicated area there for discussions of Arbortext related questions and issues, and that area does see a decent amount of traffic.Since PTC/USER are shutting down their system, keeping Adepters running as-is will very soon not be an option. Going forward, some of us have talked about a few alternatives:1) Follow PTC/USER’s suggestion and migrate to the PTC Community Arbortext board for Arbortext related discussions. The upside to this is that we get to integrate our community with the Arbortext user community over there (which has some overlap, but also some othe

In the presentation this morning on the new Arbortext 7.0 version, two questions1. Will Arbortext 7.0 work with Arbortext Content manager or just with Arbortext SIM2. Will 7.0 work with ACM, but some of the new features mentioned as working with SIM will not work if you have ACM.If I want to upgrade to AT 7.0 then will I have to upgrade my ACM to PDMlink/SIM. I will need to know as we start budgets for next year very soon and I would have to include these costs.Ray

Hi all,I have, what feels like it should be, a fairly common use case that I'm having difficulties implementing. An Author working in Arbortext Editor creates content. At various points s/he will save the work in progress content to Windchill (using WC Integration) - leaving the content checked out. Not until Author has completed his/her assignment will they check-in the document. This final act of checking in, should trigger the next stage in the process - the Review. The customer does not want the Author to have to go into WC to trigger the Review step.The problem that I'm having is that the workflow is being started once the document is first uploaded to WC and a dynamic document object created. It appears that the WC Adapter is performing a check-in/out in the background. I could have a "submit" activity assigned to the author but... this involves the user progressing it by going into WC.Has anyone had to implement a similar use case? Is there some OOTB feature(s) I could use? Any

Hey folks,I'm trying to assign the number field to an attribute in Styler, but the number is not coming out on the page in the number field.

We make extensive use of DITAVAL files in the documents for our product family.  I am looking for a way for writers to be able to specify a value from a DITAVAL file on an element in a DITA topic.If I look at the Profiling tab of the Modify Attributes dialog on an element, the otherprops field is a selection field; it is not editable.  Therefore, we seem to have only 2 options:Edit the DITA topic in an ASCII editor to add otherprops="xxxx" to an element, such as a paragraph element. I really do not want writers to edit DITA topics in an ASCII editor; that leads to all kinds of issues. 🙂Modify the ditabase.pcf to add the values specified in the DITAVAL file.  This is an issue, especially if writers are working on multiple products.  Each product has a completely separate set of DITAVAL values and they are not necessarily related.If the otherprops field in the Profiling tab was editable, that would seem to solve the issue because we could add the value (and specify t

Hello,I am working on setting up XML docs to compose SVG graphics through PE (5.4 M100, on Win2008 x64)).  Prior to this, we were using bi-level TIFF images.I can get documents to publish with SVG images if it's just one or two per doc, but any more than that causes the "Java Heap Error".Anyone have experience with this problem?  I tried setting APTJVMARGS to bump the java memory space, but PE started throwing errors about one of the built-in Windchill adapters no being able to create the JVM, so I backed that off.  Doing a set javavmargs or javamemory causes the same problem.I had set graphicapptransform=svg:png; in the init directory, but that doesn't seem to help.Short of upgrading to PE 6 to get an x64 build going (not a quick option for me), does anyone have any other recommendations?
