I am currently drawing a graph and I was wondering if there is any way to see the number of elements (lines, in this case) that I have selected? I know that this is a feature in other programs, such as freehand and illustrator but I see nothing of the sort in IsoDraw. Does anyone know?

RKS uses emotion as a starting point for new product design. This episode of the Product Design Show looks at the Kor water bottle and how decisions designers made at the concept stage makes buyers feel better about themselves.   (view in My Videos)

Hi All,   I'm working in Arbortext Styler. In a header table, I created a multiline address. Each line in the address is created by a _newline tag. I'd like to adjust the space between lines. Is there a way of doing that? Or is there another way of creating new lines that would allow me to adjust the space? Thanks all!

  Single-Sourcing Solutions has launched a new series called “Arbortext Monster Garage” to energize the Arbortext community. We’ve lined up two sessions a month. All sessions are scheduled to take place in 30 minutes–start to finish. Many of the presenters you’ve seen at our monthly meetings are scheduled to be “shop coaches”. We’re excited to see this because for many of us, the ability to tweak every aspect of the product and the content that comes out was one of the primary advantages that drew us to the Arbortext platform. Here are the details: 30 minutes 2nd and 4th Fridays Shop Coaches are users Calendar for all of 2011 has already been published Beginner, intermediate, and advanced sessions Nearly all the Arbortext products have been included The first session is titled “Pop the Hood – Get Started with Arbortext Editor in 20 Minutes” presented by Lynn Hales. Lynn was one of the first people I met at my first AUGI and he was already an old-hand.   Sign up today!

What do you think about the new Creo suite of tools? Is it just a fancy rebranding, a money grab, a software revolution, or somewhere in between? Are you excited about it, not impressed, or just waiting to see what it can do with real data in the real world?   My two cents:   At the last World Event a PTC developer told me they would be utilizing the ProductView engine in future releases of ProE. Looks like that may be related to the open data kernel that allows all these new 'apps' to communicate smoothly.   The apps themselves appear to take ProductView 9.0, split it into functionally specific applications, and give it the ProductView 9.1 interface and speed. I'm glad they're bringing back a lot of functionality that was lost between PV 9.0 and 9.1, but I haven't seen much that was actually new in those live demos. It does look refined, though, and I'm hoping it's as fast as 9.1.   The two way communication between parametric and direct modeling looks like a great

The last two weeks have been really busy, but I wanted to take this opportunity to stress that it's time for all the Arbortext users out there to submit a proposal for presentation at the annual user conference, PlanetPTC Live, in 2010.Like others who have made this solicitation, it's not only altruism that we ask you to submit a proposal and tell us about what you're doing: it makes the conference better for us as well.Submissions open on 10/15 and are due by 11/22.Hope to see you in Las Vegas.Related posts:PlanetPTC Call for Presentations is out!

To get us rolling, We posted a list of the places we know about to get information and help for Arbortext users.  Add yours!   http://communities.ptc.com/message/150155#150155

Updated: 10 May 2018   Arbortext folks are by nature a chatty and helpful bunch. This list is constantly evolving. When you're talking Arbortext resources, you often get a mixed bag of advice. Arbortext is a product line and the set of Arbortext products cover a multitude of disciplines. In this list, you won't find generic places for Tech Comm information, about becoming a better writer, or developing content.  This is a list about Arbortext.   If you want Arbortext information -- purely information about Arbortext -- there are several trusted places to go for specific information about Arbortext:   Here are our favorites, in no particular order....   Arbortext Monster Garage book series The first books about implementing, configuring, and using Arbortext came out this last summer (2016). Both books were written in DITA using Arbortext Editor and published in Arbortext Styler using an APP-based stylesheet similar to the one used as the demonstration example
