I was looking for a list of built-in syntax commands like #CONTENT, but I could not find anything, probably because I don't know what they're called. I remember reading a post where Clay mentioned some of these useful tags which I hadn't heard before and I can't find that either.Such as:#CONTENT#LT##GT##EQ##LE##GE##NE##ANY#NONE#XPATHCONTENT#XPATHSTRING@ to reference attributes

Hello there,I was wondering if any of you who is familiar to Arbortext Content Manager could help me out.I am trying to translate a manual made with DITA into multi-languages by using ACM.However, I am not certain how to manage the translation efficiently by ACM.For example, if you have a part of topic that has been changed or renewed, what kind of steps would you take to reflect it efficiently to the translations in other languages by using ACM?Thank you very much in advance.Tomomi

I need some help from the experts. I have a List of Figures and I need to be able to auto generate each figure title with the sheet numbers. It needs to look something like this:Figure 1 Engineering (Sheet 1 of 2)Figure 1 Engineering (Sheet 2 of 2)Everything is working correctly except for the total sheet count. It is counting the maximum number of sheets and putting that as the total sheet count for each figure. Example:Figure 1 Engineering (Sheet 1 of 3)Figure 1 Engineering (Sheet 2 of 3)Figure2 Engineering Symbols (Sheet 1 of 3)Figure2 Engineering Symbols (Sheet 2 of 3)Figure2 Engineering Symbols (Sheet3 of 3)I have the following FOSI code:<counter initial="1" style="arabic" enumid="totalsheet.ctr"><stringdecl textid="totalsht.txt" status="1"><e-i-c gi="figure"><reset resetlist="totalsheet.ctr"></e-i-c><e-i-c gi="sheet" occur="first"><charlist inherit="0"><enumerat enumid="totalsheet.ctr"></charlist></e-i-c><e-i-c gi="sh

Hello,Does anyone know of a way to have all of the bookmarks Arbortex produces in a PDF to be collapsed by default? It would be nice to control this, but I don't see anything in the PDFCF configuration. Using 6.0 M080 PE.Thanks,-Brett

I have to replace hundreds of graphic links in a document and am exploring the best method for performing this task.Experimenting, I found an unusual result in my first case.Example:Old graphic link<graphic align="center" fileref="mydirectory\myfilename.jpg" scale=""/>New graphic link<graphic align="center" fileref="mydirectory\myNEWfilename.jpg" scale=""/>After making the above change, my graphic being displayed is very large (travels off of page). I understand I can scale this image using the scale value, however, I prefer to not have to individually scale each image. My first instinct as to this difference of size is the resolution of the images. This is the unusual part ... the original image is 3300x2463 and the replacement image is 768x733. The original image is significantly larger in size, but displays correctly whereas the smaller replacement image travels off of the page. Is there an attribute (like autofit or something) that I am missing? How does the original im

I am using Arbortext Tyler 5.4 M70. I am using S1000D 4.0.1 and I am trying to auto number procedural steps down to level 5. Levels one through three work as expected, however, level 4 repeats level five numbering unless I manually add a label, and level 5 steps revert back to level 1 numbering. Does anybody have any suggestions on this?As you can see levels 1 through 3 work fine, levels 4 and five are hosed. I have tried every combination of things I can think of to no avail. Any suggestions?

Hi Folks,I am not able to create a line of length 4.8 mm in isodraw 7.0 and 7.1.Once I create a Line with 4.8 mm length and then check the properties (ctrl+I) That would result in 4.799 mm only.I wanted to create a specific length of 4.8 mm!! Please suggest????I would like to add upon the same point:I am not able to draw a line of length 1.8, 2.8, 3.8, 4.8 etc...When I check the properties they are displayed as 1.799, 2.799, 3.799, 4.799 etc.

Hi,I have a set of informaltables. In those tables I have some <indexterm>elements.I have a link tag that refers to those informal tables. I want the<indexterm>s to process from within the link tag.Specifically, if I have:<h1><title>section 1</title><para>Blah blah blah <link id="qwerty">.</para>...<h1><title>section 2</title><para>Blah blah blah <link id="qwerty">.</para>...<h1><title>section 4</title><para>Blah blah blah <link id="qwerty">.</para>...<informaltable id="qwerty">....<indexterm><primary>MyTerm</primary></indexterm>I want "MyTerm" in the index three times (four if you count the actuallocation, but honestly, I'm going to suppress that), once each in section1, 2, and 4. I have looked at the FOSI source for <indexterm> and can seethat it is not added to Main_Index__index.tiv if context = "* _sfe:Gentext"but even if I edit

Hello everybody!!Ok, so I've been working with some stuff related with tags and wrapping but I'm in a biiig trouble! When I try to create a new tag, Arbortext tells me that is out of context, I understand this is because this new tag is not in my DTD, is that correct? However, I would like to know if there's an option to create or modify my configuration in order to declare my new tag. Please, i f anybody have more information about this topic, I would really really appreciate your help. I'm sad because I haven't found any detailed information. I really appreciate your time and support.Regards,Paulette Zorrilla

Is there a parameter that will suppress graphics processing? My XSLstylesheet is suppressing the graphic element but PE/Editor are stillcreating the graphics folder and populating it even thought it's notreferenced by the resulting XML.-- Paul Nagai

I've got a Vendor who has source files i need in software called Mentor Board Station (old CAD system). He's telling me that from that software he can export to the following file types, GenCad, Neutral, and ASCII Geoms. I am running isodraw 7.1. Will I be able to open any of these filetypes?

When I submit the job non interactively. If I choose File > Publish > UsingXSL it works fine.The compose::compose_for_type() works if peservices=off.What am I forgetting?Here's the actual code:# $myparams["stylesheet"]="C:/custom/doctypes/mytype/createlinkbase.xsl";$myparams["stylesheet"]="E:/Program Files/PTC/ArbortextPE/custom/doctypes/mytype/createlinkbase.xsl";$myparams["outputFile"]= "C:/linkbases/linkbase.xml";;type = "XSL";interactive = 0;linkbase_success = compose::compose_for_type(current_doc(),$type, $interactive, $myparams)The commented stylesheet line works when peservices=off.

When I run a command like:local $value = `fake_program_name`I get nothing back in $value, $main::sh_status is set to 0. $sh_status is empty. $main::ERROR is empty. Is there any way to actually check to see an error?(fake_program_name doesn't exist, which seems like a way to generate a pretty obvious error)

Hello experts!!I would like to know if any of you know any development environment which recognizes ACL commands and allows me to identify key words like functions, conditionals etc in colors. This would be pretty useful!Thanks in advance.Paulette Zorrilla

Hi everybody!I have been consulting some tutorials in the communities ptc website and I found something that I think it could be pretty useful for me, however some steps they suggest to take are impossible for me to execute since I don't have a "Tag Templates" option in my Tools menu :'( I don't know why is that? They said they're using Arbortext 5.4 M080, where I could find this information in my Arbortext? or Does anybody knows why I didn't have this option visible?As always, I really appreciate your time and support, and your availability to share your experience with the people in this forum.Best Regards.Paulette Zorrilla

Currently we are running on XP, where Documentum Desktop 5.3 can be installed. We are looking at upgrading to Windows 7 where desktop is not compatible. We've found that we have to upgrade to the WDK adapter, but cannot find any information on how to do so. Can anyone point me in the right direction? We need to get the WDK installed and running. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Fellow Forum Members,The PTC suite of apps listed below has just been installed on my computer by my employer:CSDB for S1000D (Control Station)CSDB for S1000D (Task Station)Publisher for S1000DProvisioning ManagerParts Catalog ManagerLSA InterfaceMy goal now is to figure out if the following is possible. Let's say for example sake I have created the following two projects using the CSDB (Control Station) application:PROJECT A contains data modules 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 5APROJECT B contains data modules 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B (which has as a baseline PROJECT A, but all data modules 1B thru 5B contain addtional unique data that has been added).I want to be able to dynmically link data module "1B" to data module "1A" (which resides in an entirely different project) so that when I make a change to data module 1A it automatically updates data module 1B as far as the basline data goes but the additional newly added data in 1B stays untouched. .Not sure which of the following options is the corre

I've got two floatlocs for repeating Titles and Columnheads and I've been having trouble with them disappearing in one section only of my document, the last set of tags for that section. (Styler 5.4)Tags are:xxxx<codedesc><codetitle>xxxx</codetitle><description>Blah blah blah blah<note><para>Blah blah blah blah</para></note><brk>Text</description></codedesc>I was trying to keep <codetitle> and <description> on the same page. When I added a keeps, they stayed together but then floats disappeared on the last page. If I hardcoded in the repeating titles, both titles and floatlocs showed up so I had sets of two repeating titles. If I took out the keeps, the description moved to the last page but the floats came back. Now I added extra spacing so they're on the same last page without the keeps, but the floats disappeared again anyway...Thanks for any advice!Regards,Caroline
