We use WordML documents extensively here in our office and our running into some issues copy-pasting into the new AT 6.1 version.When copy-pasting bold/italic text (WordML), we get this error window complaining that it goes against our schema and its an "Invalid Paste Structure":This wasn't an issue when we were on the older 5.3 a week earlier. Is there a preference I can change to where this window won't pop up?

Hi developers,When I am coding <xrerf> for a different topic title, by default topic name is adding instead of target element content in arbortext editor. How I can replace that with target element content?Thanks & regardsRoopesh Navath

I am bumping up against an error from Arbortext 5.4 M100 "[A12177] Out of virtual memory space", recommending I increase my paging file size, and abruptly closing when I try to open a particularly large document (this is a document made of chapter file entities, which are themselves a chapter tag and several file entities). The doc is about 10Mb (flattened), and my PC has 4Gb RAMIf I reduce the number of chapter file entities by half in the main document, and then add them back in manually, this works, but then throws the same error when trying to compose.I have my windows 7 paging file settings at initially 4Gb, max of 8GB. I have an APTJAVAVMARGS=1024Mb and set javavmmemory=1024.I am running out of ideas of how to even troubleshoot this, and I really need to try and compose the whole document for hyperlink preservations.Thanks!Jason A.

I suppose it's some sort of privacy thing, but the Adepters posts used to always include the individual email address of the sender. Now they don't. I didn't notice when this stopped, so it may have happened quite some time ago.It any case, it would be useful if the Adepters posts would go back to displaying this data. I understand that if lawyers have gotten involved in this, that any change of this nature would most likely be prohibited, if not take thousands of years.On the off chance that maybe it's a setting I could change, does anyone know anything about this?

I'm just doing a little macro to create a layer, add items to it, then move it down below the standard layer so that standard layer items appear on top of the new layer items.I know I can select the layer manually in the layer window and move it up and down, but I can't see a way to do the same thing within a macro, so my new layer stays at the top - have I missed something or is this another thing you can't do with macros?

Another problem we're encountering is an error message in regards to our dates. Whenever we open our document or change attributes with it, we see the following error message: I've entered our dates in several different ways (05202014, 20140520, etc.) but it keeps generating this message. Additionally, if I enter the date with slashes or hyphens (05/20/2014, 05-20-2014) it says that it is an invalid format and will not fill in the required attribute field at all. If anyone has seen or solved this problem please let me know. Thanks!

I'm currently running into issues installing a floating-license for Styler 6.1Our goal is to put this floating-license on a server. I'm having difficulty following the instructions here though to request one: https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS34725&source=portalrecommended.On the request license page, which values do I need to put in for PTC Host Id and Host Name? Do I need to put the server address or Host ID for the field "PTC HOST ID"? Then what do I need for Host Name?Also, is there any software I need to install on the VM to get the licensing to work? I know the older 5.4 had Arbortext Licensing Administrator.

Hi all,Someone knows how can I change the default language in Arbortext Editor?I know how to change it using the styler, but without styler, I mean, using only the Editor I haven't found where.

We are using Arbortext V5.3 M130 under Windows 7. For some of our users, arbortext freezes when attempting to Modify Attributes. We have attempted the same action on other users PC with the same file and have been successful in Modifying Attributes.Can anyone offer advice.

I can export a reference topic as HTML that contains an embedded video from a video hosting site called Brightcove. The player shows up when I open the HTM file in Internet Explorer but does not open in Google Chrome.Has anyone else had an embedded object only display in Internet Explorer and not Google Chrome? Would love to figure out how to get the player to display in Google Chrome.Thanks,

I need to install Windows 8.1 for some other tasks. Will Arbortext 5.4 M030 work on Windows 8.1.Thanks,Shaylesh

Hi,We currently use Editor and Print Composer to produce print and PDF manuals. I'm being asked about change page capability for an upcoming RFQ and what we might need to support that. Would that be DTD and style sheet dependent only or do we need another product completely?I've looked at the PTC product pages and have to admit I'm not sure what the differences are between PE and APP. I can see that APP comes in desktop and enterprise flavors. But I also don't see anything about change page capability on either product.I was hoping maybe someone on the forum could point me to a good comparison chart or perhaps share a little insight on the differences if you have experience with them.Thanks,KM

Hello,I am in the process of refactoring an AE 5.3 Arbortext application to work in AE 6.0.One issue I am getting is the window_load_dialog function saying it is now unsupported in 6.0.Does anyone know which function has replaced this - if at all ?ThanksAndy

Apologies for my laziness (slogging through endless PTC marketing pages really tiresome and less than fruitful result).. but does anyone (or a PTC Arbortext sales channel person - or link to the same - monitoring this forum), know what the current cost per seat is forArbortext Editor Standalone (6.0 / 6.1?) with and without Print Composer?We are small shop, two seats currently, needing to add 1-3 more (depending on cost). We do military TMs (almost exclusively) with gov't provided DTDs and stylesheet sets, requiring PDFs as part of the deliverable file set with each project).The PTC Arbortext server/content manager/print server cost is stratospheric for us - hence we work standalone.We are also exploring alternatives like Oxygen-Antenna House, JEdit, and XMLSpy for lower cost ancillary editing stations. I'm also really interested in what small shop hi-low cost mix workstations folks here have come up with.Thanks in advance for all reads and replies.RegardsBristol RI, US

We are transitioning to Java 7 but are sticking with Arbortext 5.4 for a while which uses Java 6 internally. I can get our Java 7 compiled classes to work with Arbortext OK if I stick the following lineset javavmpath="C:\jdk1.7.0_55\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"as the first line in my acl scripts. I would like to not be stuck with a specific Java version and would like to use the user's JAVA_HOME environment variable as the first half of that line but I cannot get Arbortext to accept any variable in the set javavmpath line whatsoever. The only way it works is by sticking the full and complete path in that line. Does anyone know of a way to use variables in the pathname with this statement or is it impossible?

Hi all.We wrote plugin for Arbortext 6.1. The issue 1: We want to add our custom menu items to View (that is in menubar) our plugin looks for .View menu item like that: _window.MenuBar.Find(".View")when we work for example under French locale we cannot find this menu. We want to add our menu independably on what locale currently is used. Is it possible ? The issue 2: We don't want to add our menu to windows like "Parser Messages".Right now we just compare text of window with this string: ((IComponent) window).Text != "Parser Messages";so if window title equals to "Parser Messages" we do nothingbut for other locales it won't work due to different textHow can we solve it?

Folks, Some of you might be interested in our Illustration products, so Ithought I would make you aware of our recent announcement on the latestrelease of Creo Illustrate 2.0. We've posted a lot of great information about the release on a blog at

Hi AllWe are currently using Arbortext Editor 5.3 and Arbortext Print Composer 5.3for our PDF creation. I have been reluctant to upgrade to V6.1 M020 basedon some of the things that I have read on this forum. I am getting ready toupgrade to V6.1 M020. My question is "Will Arbortext Print Composer workwith V6.1 Mo2o or do I need to purchase the Advanced Print Publisher?"Any comments/guidance/help that you can provide would be greatlyappreciated.

Hi, I need to export a CGM in IsoDraw 7.1, but when I export and open the CGM, all the layers are visible. Is there anyway to export a CGM and still have some of the layers visibility still off??

I'm facing another issue with having text line-up properly within list items. I've included a copy of what I'm seeing below:As you can see, my Warnings, Notes, and List 1 Items (numbered items in parentheses) line-up properly. However, I have not been able to get my (a), (b), and (c) items to do the same. I have included an example of my FOSI as well (I've attached it as a Word document). If you have any solutions please let me know.

I do a lot of macros that speed up drawing things. Several of them require the illustrator to select points on screen one after the other for the macro to use.A typical example is where a macro draws an item at a selected point on the screen, then loops for the next point to draw to and so on until the user exits.It usually works OK for the first 2 or 3 times, but after this, every time the user clicks a point on screen, it insists on refreshing the screen. This is annoying, but even more annoying is when the screen goes white because it hasn't refreshed properly - the illustrator cannot then see the next point he/she wants to pick and has to exit the macro. This happens nearly every time these macros are run.There is nothing in any of our macros that triggers a screen refresh, and it does it in our 7.00 and in 7.2. It's a bug that we wish was fixed. Does anyone (PTC????) have a workaround? Is there a command to switch off screen refresh?

My table tab in my tool bar is clear. My tables in my document are shown in attribute format. I need to view in table format to do mass editing of tables with hundreds of rows. Do anyone know of a solution.Daryl Taylor
