Hello Everybody,A footer page is defined on Generated Contents tab of Arbortext Styler. Footer should contain an attribute conten valuet within the page. By selecting "Insert> Attribute Content" within "Generated Content" window, I can select the value based on the occurrence (1st,2nd,..., last) of the element. That's good but not enough for the customer requirement. The footer should show the greatest value of attributes within the page.So I write the statement: (//lep/@lep_date[not(. < //@lep_date)])[1]The statement selects max value of lep_date attribute of lep elements within an xml document.When I put this statement within ElementContentPage as shown on the image, the text could not be generated, and I don't see any error messages regarding it.When I put this statement within XPathString all footers show the same max value of lep_date within whole document. I want the max value of lep_date only within the page, so every page footer will have different values regarding its pa

Hello gurus and amateurs So I'm creating different plugins for the editor in order to customize the functionality for my users; currently I'm looking a way for lock the menu bar when I create a new window, the option for create my customized window is inside a menu I created in the menu bar of Arbortext Editor, however if the window was created and someone clicks again the option, a new window will be created, so they are duplicated, I don't want to create a complete validation for this case since the window all it does is to load a report inside the document opened in editor, so I though in the option of locking the menu bar. Does anybody can help me with this?Thank you so much in advance for your time and help.Paulette AZ

When trying to insert a key ref in content we are experiencing a ridiculous lag time (2-5 minutes) before the key reference window appears. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar lag time. Note: Once the window appears we can insert the reference quickly. Anyone know of a way to improve the performance of the key ref window?

We would like to ensure that "check completeness" is run on content before AE is closed. Is there a way to do this? Is there anything we should be aware of that could cause issues when implementing this? We would still like the option to turn off this functionality when required.

Hi,We use the command dlgitem_set_list_count to cleanup a listbox after some searching in a custom made dialog.When we create the dialog and populate it we did not fell any time consuming change after upgrade. But when we perform some filtering, the cleanup operation with dlgitem_set_list_count(DLG,listbox,0) takes to much time to complete. In Editor release 5.2 it was not a time consuming event.Just to try to clarify the steps we use:Create dialog - OKCreate List box - OKPopulate list box - OKFilter array - OKCleanup Listbox - Very time consuming compared to release 5.2Populate Listbox with filtered results - OKAnyone facing similiar performance problems? Any tips?Thankyou very much

We upgraded to AE 6.1 last week. Since then, users have noticed that their screens scroll downwards after they paste content into the xml. Does anyone know what causes the screen to scroll down? Any suggestions as to how this can be fixed?

Dear PTC-team.As of now, displaying a CGM-file via IsoView is only possible within the Internet Explorer (without using third-party add-ons). Given that Internet Explorer is not necessarily the first choice for many customers, the question arises whether there are plans to enhance IsoView so it will be able to display CGMs within other browsers, e.g. FireFox, Opera or Chrome?Best regards

Hi all,Someone get the message [A17002]catalog file warning when open Arbortext Editor 6.0, only one machine. “Confirm”, then open AE normally.For the demo.xml, the keywords "1.0" is separated.the demo.xml is the following, when I delete the "1.0" (include " "), we can open AE normally.--------but the demo.xml is wrong, so we can't integrated the AE to CMS.We can't find this problem before.Could you give me any tips please?Your assistance will be highly appreciated in this regard.Thanking you

The DCF file covers many things, which makes it complicated and not always well understood. This is an issue every installation must deal with. A GUI (like Styler) for .dcf files would simplify the task of specifying this vital information and help users get the most from their Arbortext software.

Hi,Has anyone else discovered a problem with attribute tests run against lots of elements that control the Edit Window display after upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1? Specifically, I am encountering intermittent crashes (some "unhandled exception" failures, some segment 11 failures) triggered by screen highlighting of profiled content. For example, I want the following to be highlighted red: <para book="first">blah blah blah.</para>And this to be highlighted blue: <para book="second">waa waa waa.</para>And this to have no highlighting at all: <para>all work and no play.</para>I had a user report an unhandled exception crash opening a particular document. I replicated the issue. I chased the code and could avoid the crash by disabling the FOSI call (via system-func). However, when I tried opening a very small chapter from this same document, while the code was enabled, the chapter opened fine. Then I tried opening the whole document and now I can't make it f

Has anyone seen the errors below when launching AE? How would I go about fixing these?

I'd like to setup Arbortext Editor to list all my key definitions so that a user can browse in Reference Manager and insert a keyef from the key definition map that is stored in Windchill. I found that I can set ditakeybaselist=uri. But I don't know what the Windchill URI would be.

Hi Folks,We typically use EPS files for publishing documents to PDF. However, we also produce RTF versions for some users to work on new versions.The issue is when rendering to RTF, EPS files are only linked to the resulting RTF - user need to manually break the link to embed them in the resulting file.I was hoping to eliminate the need for this manual step by having Arbortext convert the EPS files to PNG or JPG so that they embed automatically.I use the following command prior to rendering to RTF:set graphicrtftransform=epsngHowever, the resulting images are very poor in quality. I have EPS files that are 400-500K resulting in 1-2k PNG files. Are there any settings for the image converter that can be tweaked to produce slightly larger files that are a better resolution?I have noticed the same issue with HTML output too. I see there is a product idea Better conversion of EPS files in Web output‌Any ideas?Thanks,Rob.

When trying to import an Excel table into AE 6.1, a message window appears before the content is pasted into the xml. I'm just wondering if anyone else is seeing this message? The Excel table is inserted into the xml, but I'm just wondering why this message appears. Can this window be disabled?

How are others in the Technical Authoring Community dealing with Illustrated Parts Lists? I realize I'm scratching the surface, but from what I understand "Intelligent Graphics" have a list (Parts List) embedded. When you use the intelligent graphic how are you accessing the list?Creo-Illustrate does not have capability to embed a "Parts List" in a Figure. From what I understand IsoDraw does (please recalibrate me if need be).Ultimately, what I'd like to get to is processing such that Figure is on one page and Parts List (when present) is opposite.Thanks!
