Hello, I have a large group of version 3 CGM files that need to be converted to version 4 CGM. I have drawing size settings in Isodraw that need to be maintained in the conversion. Does anyone have a batch process or macro that will run in Isodraw to accomplish this? I’m not versed in creating macros or writing code. Thanks in advance for any help!

I am trying to make a connection to Arbortext Content Manager from Arbortext Editor. I have modified the siteprefs.xml and the userprefs.xml to reflect my server url and name and have put them both in the adapters folder in Arbortext Editor. When Editor is started and you go to click on Object to connect a PTC server we get an error that says java.lang.NullPointerException which does not tell me anything. Can someone please give some advice or some help please?

Hello everybody!! 😃Ok, so I've been finding too many discussions talking about XPath and I feel pretty bad because I can not have a clear idea of what XPath is? 😞 I investigated in the Arbortext Command Language Reference but I only found examples and I would like to understand how and where is recommended to use XPath, please if anybody is kind of expert in this area I would really appreciate a lot your help! I'm feel in the necessity to learn about XPath but I don't have any idea from where I can start. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.As always I have not words to thank you all your time and support. Best Regards!Paulette Zorrilla.

Im trying to link my Warnings to a specific section of a DM, (Procedural DM Issue 4.0) But I cant find the target field?? Does anyone know where the "Ref DM Target" attribute field is? Or basically how do you designate a "target" (link to a particular place or ID in a Data Module) in Arbortext Editor (Issue 4.0)??? In previous versions (3 and below) you could hit CTRL D/modify attributes and the Target attribute is available in that window.....But that is no longer the case. I can't find it in Issue 4.0?? I think they may have changed the tag name, (like everything else) but if so it is not obvious and Im not sure where it is...Can anyone help

My Object info ID needs to be IREF_10 for multiple callouts due to a customer requirement, but IsoDraw gives me a message when I try to change the ID's to be the same...Does anyone know how to edit the rules for Object Info ID?Screenshot of message:

I am using IsoDraw 7.2My customer requires the callouts to be the same ID and my IsoDraw gives me a popup warning saying:"The ID is not unique Please change the ID."I have several items such as washers that are the same part number and the ID's are labled 5a, 5b, 5c, 10a, 10b, 10c, etc...If I try to change 5a to 5 and 5b to 5 then I get the popup warning.Is there a way to change several callouts and have the callouts have the same ID?

Hiya,I am attempting to install 6.0 m090 alongside an existing 6.0 m010installation but the installer is only providing me the option to upgradethe m010 installation. How do I force a full installation?I read the install.pdf provided w/m090 (which was apparently updated lastfor m040) but it didn't have anything specific about doing this other thanit mentioned both full and upgrade installation possibilities.What am I missing?-- Paul Nagai

So, my management has been reading about Acrobat XI and how you can create interactive PDFs (embed Flash Player compatible videos, audio, buttons, and forms). Simple question: Is any of that possible with PE (any version)? Sounds like it's easy to add a video (for example) to an existing PDF manually with Acrobat XI, but we'd want it to happen within PE (or some FO processor, for that matter). Anyone done anything like this?Dave HintzSiemens

Some time ago there was some discussion about using 64-bit Arbortext Editor (and Print Composer). Does anyone know if there are any "official" white papers or anything like that from PTC about the supposed advantages of the 64-bit Editor over the 32-bit version? Things such as claims about the ability to handle and/or publish larger files, function more quickly, etc. etc.?I am not really looking for testimonies about anecdotal, subjective, perceived differences, but rather words from PTC or other companies on their website(s) or published elsewhere. Any actual scientifically measured differences by anyone would be good, also.Thanks.

Thank you so much in advance.Paulette Zorrilla

Hello, I am a newbie when it comes to ACL. Im looking to create a script that will grab all tags in a document with an certain attribute set to a certain value and then grab its contents witch will be a string of text, and then copy the text and place it in a tag I create like a list. Also if possible, I need to grab the context of where these tags are. For example: Say I have a document with chapters and sections. And within these chapters and sections i have a "highlight" tags. I would like to grab every "highlight" tag in the doc and put it in a list at the bottom of the document where the text in the tag and the chapter and section of where it is located and place it in the list at the end of the document.

I would like to learn more about creating stylesheets for pdfs, web, and mobile devices.What classes, websites, books, or other resources have helped you learn to create stylesheets that publish content in multiple outputs?

Hello masters!!Here I am again with a new question. I have a java object which constructs a tree(XML) since some elements of an Arbortext's document, starting with one OID and then walking throw next elements of the first OID until my desired XML was constructed, when I back to my acl code what I'm trying to do is to paste this content in other place inside the document, I've been trying to execute it using the 'insert_string -markup' option however it seems that the elements are not recognized, so, for example if I received from java the string: "<note> </note>" Arbortext show me an error telling me the "unexpected argument: /note>" message :'( And I'm pretty sure this is not an "out of context" error, since I've been checking my rules of insertion every moment 😄I don't know why is this happening? I suppose that try to insert some XML tags is not as simple as I thought..... however, if I use the insert_string command assigning directly the string... like this: (insert_
