Ok, I am too lazy to find it my email mess. I want to do a perl (or bat)script firing off Arbortext from a command line with Arbortext opening afile, running a set command, validate, save it out and the perl scriptcontinues doing more magic.#--- Sets the length of the file width before a line break set outputrecordlength=10000I went looking thru 10 years of emails and cannot find it. But, I know Clayor Liz (plus dozen others could answer it in their sleep).d

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. The uncommentedstylesheet line fails when peservices=on. The error:ERROR Error: composer 'XSL' not installed on PE server-- Paul Nagai

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

<tag1><tag2></tag2></tag1>If I'm in tag2, how do I access tag1? I tried ../tag1[1] and parent[1]And also, how would I access the first element from an att with XPATH? For example, this didn't work:<e-i-c gi="code" occur="all">...<att><specval attname="code[1]" attloc="#xpath" attval="1"/"><charsubset>...</charsubset></att></e-i-c>

I'm tasked to create a new book using the latest version of MIL-STD-2361D and the latest dstyle xsl-fo stylesheets. So far, most of the formatting I've tested looks pretty good, but I'm seeing a couple issues with the Chapter Title pages. For some reason, the Chapter Title pages are putting a double TM No in the header and are not producing the Chapter # in the title. I'm hoping someone who is familiar with the STD and Stylesheet might be able to help me figure out if this is my tagging error or a stylesheet issue. I am assuming that the stylesheet is supposed to auto-generate the chapter number since I see no attribute that I could populate with a chapter label in the chapter module elements (gim, mim, etc). I also can't figure out why it is doubling up the TM no in the header on these title pages.Anyone using this combination or familiar with this stylesheet that could offer me some advice?Thanks,KM

I'm using Styler 5.4 and I need to have theads repeat with a continuation text. Theads already repeat if the table spans to a new page, but I need to add the text Continued to the entries within the row in the thead. I tried putting a heading element in the entry to get at the repeat title or continuation text category on the gentext tab, but that only works if the heading element is in the context of a division element and entry isn't a division. How can I get this generated continuation text to render?thanks,Steve

I’m using Arbortext 6.0 and using Windchill 10.0 to automatically create translations with the translations process, which comes with the Service Information Manager component. I have a topic (Topic 1) that contains multiple conrefs to a source topic (Topic 2). Topic 2 is translated into multiple languages. I will not need to send Topic 1 with content references for translation, since all of the text in the Topic 2 has been translated. How do I get the content references to automatically reference the translated topic instead of the English, when I get the rest of the translated files back from the translation vendor?It seems that the only way to have the translated text is to manually update all of the content references to reference the translated file in Windchill instead of the English. See examples below.Conref examples in Topic 1 that reference text from the English and French source topic (Topic 2)English Example: x-wc://file=0000005419.xml#Warnings-13549F07/TheFollowingWarnings

Hello everyone!! 😃Ok, so now I'm dealing with a new problem, I'm trying to insert some new tags in a document, however because of my doctypes this hasn't been an easy task, so I was thinking that maybe there's a way to create this tags or modify my context checking preferences in order to create my new customized tags. Do you now if this is possible? Also I would appreciate if any of you have any suggestion in order to reach my goal, my idea is try to extract some content from a document and differentiate it from the rest of the content, also this "extract" would be kind of categorized, that's the reason because I need to modify my current document.As always I have no words to thank you guys for your time, help and support.Best Regards.Paulette Zorrilla

[CROSS POST - Put this up through Tech Writer - Should be here maybe ]I know that there are some real experts out there that read this list that are SGML & XML and Arbortext gurus… with this I beseech you… (burning chicken bones over a bat wing fire here)-1. New TMs for new USAF equipment calling for SGML vice XML…. what’s up with that? (i.e. where are they going with this, big USAF I mean?) Too much $$$ in SGML infrastructure? Thought they’d be moving forward to XML on all fronts, no? The end product appears to be ‘indexed’ PDFs with SGML file deliverables.a. Deliveries are both SGML and ‘indexed’ PDFs (meaning ‘linked’? More on this below)b. SOW says we can use any SGML editor with their DTD (true), but they also state their FOSIs were built for Datalogic only (which I’ve never used.)c. Now I need to buy freakin’ ‘Datalogics’?@!? I know nothing of ‘Datalogics.’ (and I’m already old enough to remember using Interleaf)a. No screen FOSI (have worked without one a lot – so not too co
