Thanks John that worked.

First off I wanted to thank whoever it was that posted the instructions out on Adepters for this problem. They were clear and concise. Unfortunately it doesn't work for 5.4. Unless I am missing a piece of the puzzle, the files will initially disappear but when you relaunch the product the reappear. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had a problem with this? I don't want to start a ticket if someone else already has.Sindy YoungAWACS Tools and Technology Team,(253) 657-6964Kent, WA 98032

Can one get a demo to try this setup out, or is the only way through authorized resellers/consultants?

Hello Adepters,Is there any way to save to disk that output that usually goes to the java console? Arbortext help says "If the Java Console is closed, output will be discarded on Windows and sent to stdout on UNIX." Unfortunately, I'm on Windows.As a practical matter, we use a wrapper function around all of our Java print statements, so I could manually write everything to disk there. But I also want to capture the output from any exceptions that occur, which would require a more general capturing of system.out and system.err, I would think.Thanks,-James

Hello,Does anyone know if the quality of rendition when creating HTML ofmathematical equations can be changed (improved!), and if so, how?Otherwise, does anyone know of a conversion tool from the Arbortextequation editor to MathML. I know the DesignScience MathFlow Editor, butas far as I know, they don't offer a conversion tool.Thanks in advance,HansHans-Joachim Bigalke

Ok, I am using Epic 5.3 with styler on an S1000D document. I am trying to do an internal cross reference from one element to another. Doing it the way the documentation says to do it, sorta kinda gets me what I want.[cid:image003.png@01CADD59.01C5AB80][cid:image001.png@01CADD58.D30AEE90]The problem is I cant get it to pick up the enumeration automatically and if I try to manually to type it in, this is what happens.....[cid:image002.png@01CADD58.D30AEE90] It places the typed text between my generated text, Any IDEAS?Sindy YoungAWACS Tools and Technology Team,(253) 657-6964Kent, WA 98032

From what I have read I should be able to put an Isodraw graphic directly into Arbortext. I try, the graphic symbol shows up but the actual graphic does not show up. When I double click on the graphic symbol it opens up the correct drawing in Isodraw. Why can't the graphic be seen in the Arbortext document? (Yes I have the view graphics option checked, that is not the issue.)

Looking for help on getting change bars to show in a pdf.

PTC wants to know what topics you're interested in discussiong for theupcoming Arbortext Technical Committee meetings in June:

I have mentioned a couple of times in the past that, for a while now, my posts have not been emailed back to me by the adepters list. After several months of this, my keen eye finally noticed that when somebody else replies to one of my postings, the From: line reads "From: -<">mailto:-> [mailto: -<]">mailto:->] On Behalf Of Benton, Ed L.I can't help but think that the appearance of -<">mailto:-> instead of -<">mailto:-> must have something to do with this, but I have no idea how to fix this. Does anyone else know, or know someone to whom I could address this question?

Hello,In AT styler I want to change the language that reads "Forced Page Break" for start of new pages. Any specific way to do this?Karthik

We use a lot of 3d data from IGES files and they create a "Border" line type for internal surfaces. We keep some of these but most of them want deleting and I'm trying to do a macro that allows you to select an area on a drawing and delete the "Border" linetype within that area. The macro is just this: Subselect if Pen is equal to 'Border' Delete selection Select none You would think that when the selection arrow is set to (+) (i.e. selection within groups), it would delete all the border lines within the selected area. But if a grouped item is wholly within the selected area (you can tell this because the selection shows it as 1 item rather than individual lines), then it does not delete the border lines within that group - it only does it for partially selected groups. How do I make it work globally on the selected area regardless of whether a group is wholly or partially selected?

Is it possible to take the value of an attribute and use thatset the initial value of a counter?If so can you point me in the right code direction??!!Thanks in advance for your help.Sarah Copley

Hello again . Sinceit went so good last time, I'm inventing new problems to solve. Joking, the company in the current project is doing that . The problem stats as follows. Within XML Documents we have a dialog that appears on the right click, the contained menu entries are calling the extensions that I am currently working on. As the menu entries can be valid or invalid ( one extension works on a subtree starting with LIST, the other one does not work on lists, for example. ) I have the task to find a way to make the menu entries greyed out my the currently marked content in the document. So far the plan for battle. I know how to get the currently marked selection, or the point where the cursor resides, I have found out how to enable and disable the entries in the EditPopup-menu, and I have an idea how to model the logic for deciding which menu item can be active on which selection. Just one part is missing. In order to process all that, I need an event, and I thoughtabout catching t

Hello,We prefer out users to work with No-tag mode in Edit view and most of the elements are stylized in AT to look more WYSIWIG. There are some processing instruction thatare inserted in our document. At this point we have to switch to the full or partial tag mode to see this processing instructions. Is there a way in Styler to style processing instructions may by a generated text that shows the processing instructions?Karthik

Hello,We have a custom Schema and I added it in the New Dialog window. The root element is called <document> and AT inserts the root element. Then when I try to insert the other child element of the root element AT gives the error message as this "Document as read-only". I cannot insert any more elements after document. So I did a save as and renamed it as different file. Now I could able to insert the rest of the child element.The issue still presets - When I save the document it still says as read-only document:-( 😞I closed the AT window and I get the prompt to save the file with "Yes" and "No" button and I clicked Yes. When I reopened the file again all I could see in <document> element. Here is the interesting thing - Now I could able to modify the document and save it with changes. Is this a typical AT behaviour or am I missing something?ThanksKarthik

I just upgraded to 64-bit Windows 7 (which I really like) and have had very few problems until I tried to configure data merge. When I went to Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC) to setup a System DNS for Excel, all that was available was the SQL Server driver.After much searching I found (on the SQL Server Developer Center of all places) that there is a 32-bit ODBC Administrator with all the drivers I'm familiar with. Instead of going to Control Panel..., run %WINDIR%\SYSWOW64\ odbcad32.exe
