We export our images to a folder once completed so our other programs can see what the image is. Currently we export all of the images to one folder. This has become an issue so i have split the folder into 1000 image folders. How do I modify my macro so that it will place the image in the correct numbered folder Macro export CGM to User Pictures folder#Define variables.Define JPGLocal as stringDefine CGMLocal as stringDefine SVGLocal as stringDefine fileName as stringDefine CMDLocal as stringDefine tempLocal as stringDefine tempCGM as stringDefine tempSVG as string#Define cmd.exe.CMDLocal = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"#Define local temp Local.tempLocal = "C:\temp\"#Turn off possible error/warning prompts during export.app.interaction=false#Save file to current Local.Save#Define variable for file namefileName = stripext(activedoc.name)#Set export Local for jpg.JPGLocal="X:\Photos\" + fileName + ".jpg"#Export jpg.Export JPGLocal "JPEG"#Set temp CGM export path.tempCGM = tempLocal

Instead of using color can you create a hatch pattern for a line.  Bryon

We have a macro that inserts the file name of the file onto the illustration. Is there a way to make the text background white automatically? We currently do it manually after we add the text by the macro. If I try to create a macro the option to modify the text background is greyed out.   Thanks

Hello, all I just came across this tool. Just wondering if anyone is using it. We are currently using Isodraw and I was wondering how similar these programs might be.   Thanks   Bryon

If so, how to create it?

Hello,    Has any one successfully integrated Multimedia files (.mp4) in files that are created using Arbortext editor (starting 7.x) and published it in PDF/HTML versions?   Even though the release notes say this feature as an enhancement from 7.X and further in Styler 8.1 (for publishing) there is really no Article or Help menu sections that are of real help.   Tech Support is also vague on this topic and they give confusing answers to achieve this.   I'm super confused if this is not an OOTB feature, why does PTC boast this as an enhancement in the release notes without giving any proper update or help for customers on this? There are literally no videos in any of the demos nor courses in PTC University that covers this feature.   Appreciate any help on this and Thanks in advance!

We are using Arbortext Editor 7.0 M030. Is it possible to change the font size of menus in Arbortext Editor? Also, I would be interested in learning if it is possible to change the size of buttons in the toolbar?   Any tips would be much appreciated.   Thanks.

I have looked for an answer in the various posts but have not found anything, so here is the question. I am using Arbortext Editor 5.3. We have a couple of script files (init.acl and user.acl) on a network folder, say s:\scripts. To avoid network latency the script files are copied to a local hard drive and loaded from there when Arbortext is executed. Occasionally one or more of these scripts may change. I want to make it easy for users to check for updates by providing an menu option they can use.  The idea is it checks the version of the local script and then checks the version of the network script.   In each script file I put a version that I want to check against later, e.g $initscriptver=1 and $userscriptver=1,  what I want to do in my check_for_updates.acl script is something similar to the following: Open the network script file (e.g. s:\scripts\init.acl) Find the line containing the version number (e.g. $initscriptver=1) Extract the version number from th

Hi there, I am running an XML doctype and when authors try to insert an ordered or unordered list from the menu, the <p> prior to the cursor get swallowed up into the list, rather than the list starting afresh.   Any idea on how to solve this please?

Hello,   I would like to know if Arbortext Isoview is compatible with chromium navigators, like Edge Chromium. Apparently not, is there a way to make it compatible (or is using Internet Explorer the only way to make Isoview work?)?   Thank you.

Hello. Product : Arbortext Isodraw 7.3M100, floating licences.   We have a problem with Isodraw, which freezes for 5 seconds almost every 10 seconds. Isodraw is installed on a physical computer (no virtual machines), and the workers uses it directly from the computer (not through remote connection). We have 2 different geographical locations (LOC1 and LOC2), and the problem occurs only on LOC2. The installation is the same on every computer. The only difference seems to be the licence server, which is physically on LOC1, where the problem doesn't occur. With a ping, reaching the licence server takes 1ms from LOC1, and 10ms from LOC2.   Where can it come from?   Thank you.    

Hello, We are having an issue where users are being denied access to IsoDraw CAD because all of the licenses are in use. We are trying to determine if we need more licenses or if this it is just a case of users opening the application and letting it run in the background. Is there a way to get this type of information in the log file? I can see in the error log when a user is denied due to no available licenses - but I can't see how long users with the licenses taken have been idle, etc. Any thoughts or assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Installed 7.0 as usual. Have done this many times for co-workers. Print Preview runs and says it has completed, but no preview file ever comes up.

Objective is to remove a specific string with special characters from a file programmatically.   The problem experienced is, everything leading up to the forward slash I can remove, as soon as i include a forward slash in the $stringToRemove variable, the program fails to perform a substitution with the value "test". Ultimately i will replace "test" with an empty space. Lack of debugging tools makes this a bit tricky to solve.   # $stringToRemove =  '<!string1 % string2 "string3//string4/string5"> %string6; '   $Double_Quote_Symbol  = chr(34)$Percent_Symbol             = chr(37)$Forward_Slash_Symbol = chr(47)   $stringToRemove = "string1 " . $Percent_Symbol . "string2" . $Double_Quote_Symbol . "string3//string4/string5"  execute("substitute -a -c -noe -ws -noq /" . $stringToRemove . "/test")   Note: this is performed on an XML file opened as a text file using "edit -untagged"   I've attempted: 1)

Currently I am able to execute a basic script to open a file, perform data processing, save then close.   For a batch process though, my thought process is to get the directory path filled with the collection of "*.xml" files, iterate over each file path and perform the functions doc_open, <functions to edit file>, doc_save, doc_close.    However as the script iterates over the files it doesn't appear to be making any modications as anticipated, and in the file explorer there is no updated "Date Modified" timestamp confirming that changes have not been made. I get the correct count of xml files stored in the variable $filepaths. When I perform a "message" or "response" command it appears to be the correct $filepath but not certain as it doesn't seem to get modified. the replace function always returns saying "string not found" even though I am certain of the strings existence in the file.   My question is: Where am I going wrong in the logic for ACL Batch File

Hi there,   In our Styler Style sheet we have a attribute called chgstatus which signifies a change to that area and what stage of approval it's in. This chgstatus attribute can be applied to most tags in the XML. This chgstatus is listed in the LOEP and in the footer of the pages that are generated. The problem we're having is that in the footer, it only displays the chgstatus of the container, and not the individual figures.  As you can see here the figure has a chgstatus of "ORIG APPLE" while it's container has a chgstatus of "ORIG PLUM".  On the generated document, the footer displays "ORIG PLUM" instead of "ORIG APPLE". The Footer pulls from chgstatus, but it pulls from the container's chgstatus instead of the more specific one to that page.    Not sure what what the best way to rectify this issue. My initial idea is to make a separate attribute to distinguish them. But I fear that may interfere with the LOEP.
