Arbortext

Really basic quesion I'm sure - how do I center text as in the image added?I'm working in a style sheet that has already been created, but if this office can do it, it's in the style sheet. Might not be using the most proper Arbortext lingo, if so sorry............?? Thanks!

Arbortext Editor 6.0 whether connected or disconnected to Windchill 10.1 is very slow to open an xml file. We get the "not responding" message and the cursor just keeps spinning (approx. 30 seconds). Eventually the xml file appears and everything seems to work fine.What could cause this issue? Could the server need a reboot? Could it have something to do with the cache size?Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks

Hello everyone,I want to suppress the warning messages about missing graphics and other warnings when bursting into Windchill. I know I've seen this setting somewhere, but I can't remember where and I can't locate it again. Does anyone know where the warning levels are set?Thanks!

Hi,Can anyone explain how to generate a structurally valid XML BOM file used to generate callouts in IsoDraw 7.3?What is the source of the XML BOM file? where is it exported from?IsoDraw Object List?Windchill Structure?CAD Model?Our IsoDraw files are stored in Windchill. Do the BOM XML files need to be stored in Windchill at the same location as the illustration?Regards,Jon

Hello all.Is it possible to incorporate XSL-FO data which is created in the other stylesheet tool (e.g. AH Formatter ) to ".style" file for Arbortext Styler?My idea is to copy and paste some of stylesheet settings written in XSL-FO into a ".style" file.As some stylesheet settings are difficult to achieve (e.g. bleed tab) by Arbortext Styler UI, I want to reuser the XSL-FO data which I already have in hand.The output will be PDF, just for your record.Many thnaks.Kind regards,Tomomi

Is there a way to allow italics, bold, etc.. to be used in the mainbook title. When I try it says document type is not configured for this formating style.Thanks Bryon

Fairly new to Arbortext and I have a template. I would like to make a simple one page document without chapters or a chapter heading or a TOC. ?? Suggestions? Snip jpeg attached.

Our organization uses both ISODraw V7.2 and Arbortext Editor V6.0. Recently, last Tuesday, all of our ISODraw users reported a failure at execution: A "Caution" error is generated with the text "License request failed for feature ISODRAW." Arbortext Editor V6.0 does not fail to execute.Both ISODraw and Arbortext both use the same license file. There is a key for each of the products in the file. The network card is active. It seems that ISODraw V7.2 requires the network card to be active and Arbortext V6.0 does not.We are currently at a work stoppage do to the inability to use the ISODraw software.We had the software removed and reinstalled. ISODraw persistently fails to start. All recommendations would be appreciated.

Hello all.I created a book map with two chapters whick contain 4 or more topics in each and it is going to be published in PDF format.Then, to save the number of page, I am trying to show two columns in one page and each topic should start from the top of the page. However, Arbortext Styler does not have such function in its UI.I am wondering if this can be achieved with some souce editting.Do you know any source edit that works for this problem? Thank you for your time.Best wishes,Tomomi

Hi All!In the end of some elements, I need to put a blank page depending if it's pair or odd. How can I do it?

Hello all,I am looking for the way to colour the content of <thead> element.Custom table might work but I want to skip it this time as it is not a custom table.Therefore, I tried some source editting with "backgroundColor" attribute of "fTable" which also did not work.I am not familiar with Javascript so it is very difficult to figure out.Does anyone know how to colour it? or is it even possible?Thank you.

Epic is one of the few XML applications that still reports 'ambiguous'content models as an error when parsing a DTD (yes some of us still usethem). I have a DTD that the requirements document is forcing a change to.The change is causing Epic to report the model as ambiguous. It took me awhile to see where the ambiguity lies, but finding a 'fix' has been elusive.My boss and I have both looked at this for a couple of hours (took him a bitlonger to see the ambiguous content). I'm going to continue looking, but here is the model. I'm open tosuggestions if anyone feels like jumping in. 😄(interconnect | testflow | funcdepend | schematic | comp-locator |harness-indx)*), proc)*, (sysdesc?, (interconnect | testflow | funcdepend |schematic | comp-locator | harness-indx)*), (hookup?, tsproc, disconnect?),followon.maintsk?)>The group (sysdesc?, (interconnect | testflow | funcdepend | schematic |comp-locator | harness-indx)*) is declared as a parameter ENTITY in the DTD.Epic reports the element

This is a follow-on to a post from yesterday. My core problem is that I need all my xinlcude file references to be relative paths from the including document to the referneced include file. If I have an xinclude in file 1 that has a relative path to an include file and I copy or cut the xinclude, then paste it into file 2, the Arbortext is transforming the relative path to an absolute path for the pasted reference.I've used the paste callback to intercept the paste, but when I examine the paste buffer the raw markup with the relative path is there. The source of the paste buffer is not available to the paste callback, so I can't construct the proper relative path and do my own insert and cancel the default paste.I already have a custom version of the create_include alias that ensures that my paths are relative when an inclusion is created from a selection, but this alias isn't called by the paste operation of an already existing xinclude.Can anyone point me to the underlying alias or f

When users select an xinclude fragment in one document and then perform a drag and drop to a second document, Arbortext creates an xinclude in the second document, but the file path in this new xinclude is absolute. I need all xincludes to be relative paths. How do I intercept the drop and manipulate the xinclude filename?

Hi everybody!Is there a way to display generated text in TOC?When I select a element with a generated text (Usually the chapter number), the TOC shows only the element's text and not the generated text.

Whacky. But I needed to do this an stumbled on a way how to do it. Maybeit's useful to someone else.# The following may have dependencies on sgmlselection, selectionsvc,pastepreserve,# and/or any other settings related to buffers, copying, pasting, etc.# Create a temporary buffer and make it current.set paste=junk# write to that buffer. You could select and copy something if# wherever you that is easy. Or you can just write a line of# throw-away text to the buffer. Type "help insert_buffer" for# a complete description of the syntax of this command.insert_buffer("any string of text",0,"junk")# Set the default buffer back to current.set paste=defaultI had to tell you now because it's Friday and my weekend will permanentlypurge MY buffer and I won't remember I wanted to tell you come Monday ...-- Paul Nagai

Is there a way to have a float inherit the indent of its ancestor? I thought that setting indent inherit=1 would do it but maybe I don't understand how indent inherit=1 works. I have a repeating table title float that always starts at the left margin, even when the table is indented. I set the float indents manually for one context, but I don't know how many different levels of indents there are since there are a lot of nested lists that could have tables in them.

Hello all, I don't have many issues when working with specific assemblies from pvz files in isodraw. However, if I want to get a simple illustration of an entire assembly that contains assemblies (i.e. a picture of the car itself), I get the memory full crash and burn. Understandable, since it's trying to open all the assemblies. Is there an easier way to get a view of the "car" than cherry picking through the assembly in productview to know which parts to turn off in isodraw? I have to believe there is.ThanksBryon

Hello everyone,I need to make some modifications to scripts found in the%ARBORTEXT-INSTALL%\adapters directory. Typically, you can copy the OOTB scripts into the custom folders without having to modify the original. However, this folder doesn't seem to work the same way. I can certainly modify the originals, but that would mean replicating the modifications on every client.Is it possible to replicate these scripts from adapters in the custom folders?Thanks,-Jeff

Hi.I haven't quite been able to isolate a sequence of events that appears toremove a callback, specifically a paste callback associated with a specificdocument (that is, it's not a global paste callback).I would like to be able to use ACL to test whether a callback is assigned.It appears that I can ask by removing it and depending on the return code Ishould be able to tell, but then I'd have to reassign the callback. Which Iguess isn't that big of a deal, but it seems messy.Is there a simple, direct way to test for a callback?Also ... has anyone run into disappearing callbacks before? What causesthem to disappear? The document is not closing/opening. It does lose"focus" to another document that I create and delete, but it never goesaway.Thanks!-- Paul Nagai

I copied a doctype folder from our 5.3 server to our 5.4 server.The FOSI seems to be working on 5.4 except the graphics aren't visible in the editor. The graphics are hosted on a third server, and the paths are stored in an entity file and referenced by an attribute on graphic. The .ent files are referenced in the XML file.If I link directly to the graphic, it shows up so I know the 5.4 server can "see" the server where the graphics are stored. (The XML files are on the same server as the graphics.) Plus we handle graphics this way for most of our 5.4 projects. Just wondering if anyone has come across this, I didn't find anything in the forum.Thanks!

Hi,Does anyone know how to map the Arbortext Adapter to Documentum/WDK's selfreported version (Help > About in the WDK window) of PINE-1043 back to theArbortext main version/release?I think this should be (hope this is) 6.0 m090 but suspect it may be 6.0m010.-- Paul Nagai
