I am using IsoDraw 7.2Is it possible to change the preferences for Object info ID?

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.

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. Any help would be very useful. Thanks!

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_

Hello experts!! 😃I'm creating one document using the "temp_name" and "open" command in ACL, however when I call a java function through a java object which I created in the same function where my file was created, I can not read content from my document. I saw that only when I close my Arbortext is when the document shows it's content. If I open the new document while my function is "active" and Arbortext is Open, there's no content inside. =(Does anybody know why is that? And how can I solve this issue?As always I really appreciate your time and support. Best Regards.Paulette Zorrilla

My oid_fu is weak. I can make oid_name() return "_pi" but I can't read thebreakpenalty attr. Is it a pseudo attr? I only asked that to sound smartbecause I still wouldn't be able to read it if I knew. LOL!Ultimately, I want to highlight all <para> tags green in my screen FOSI ifthey are in a row with a forced pagebreak. I have code that will do this inred for row profiling by just checking on our profiling attrs on row. I'mtrying to write a system-func I'll call from para context entry that willreturn "yes" if the row's first child is the forced table break PI.Happy to pursue another path to indicate a forced break if someone hasfound another way ...-- Paul Nagai

Hi AdeptersIt's been a while since I posted a question or answer but I continue to find this group an invaluable asset.We are finally moving to Arbortext Editor 6.0, but need to leave a few users behind at 5.3 because of 3rd-party software compatibility issues.We'll need to use floating licenses for both versions and the question came up if there are any known problems running the Flex and Elan license servers on the same server.Anyone running both without problems? Any references to Tech Support pages on this questions?Thanks,--JackJack KulasWeb/XML App DeveloperTechnical DataLSI, Inc.6111 Technology CourtJacksonville, FL 32221Jax Office-MWF (904) 317-7339Home Office-TTH (352) 219-4338Fax (904) 777-9275jkulas@lsijax.com<">mailto:jkulas@lsijax.com>www.lsijax.com
