This will be my first script in ACL and I am having struggle finding examples that can be used to understand the language with respect to accessing the filesystem and performing processes on files.   No matter what I do - the below code I created and execute multiple times appears to perform different behaviors. Sometimes it has performed a replace on the Currently Open Document in arbortext, sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes it presents a message saying "0 new objects scanned and processed." but have gotten to the point where I know how to create ACL code which won't produce errors. Its just not doing what I think it should.    In my example the ultimate goal will be to replace all Unicode characters (en dash, em dash, curly quotes) with ascii characters (hyphen, straight quotes).   $EnDashChr = chr(8211)$EmDashChr = chr(8212)$LeftDoubleCurlyQuote = chr(8220)$RightDoubleCurlyQuote = chr(8221)   $filepath = "C:\\Users\\MyDirectory\\Desktop\\TestXML.xml"$

I urgently need to return an Arbortext Epic 5.3 licence to reallocate it to a different user, however, the site has changed significantly and I cannot find where to return or obtain licences now. I was given instructions by my predecessor but they appear well out of date. I managed to return a licence and obtain a new one about 6 months ago using those instructions but they do not work any more.

  I am hoping this is not too DOD specific for this community and that someone here may be able to assist. I am using DTD 40051C_3_28 (Oct 16) and I inserted a tswp under troublecategory between existing WP 0026 and 0027. I set insertwp=1 and wpseq=0026.1. I inserted figures in WP and they all are showing up in the TOC as 0027-1, -2, ect… not 0026.1-1, 0026.1-2, etc... as I expected. Does any have advice on how to get proper numbering in the TOC with the same WP number as set in wpseq attribute?Steve

Hello,  When I try to use a New StyleSheet or Open Stylesheet with any dita topic file that I was to see the print preview, I am getting a red screen of error.

When using a split Left-Right View, with one view on Document Map and the other in Edit, the behavior of the Document Map side is different depending on whether you have Track Changes on. To replicate, open a document in Arbortext and place your cursor at the top of the file. Go to Window and select Left-Right Split (if your window is not already split). Click inside the left pane. Go to menu View and select Document Map. Go to menu GC View and select Section Level. Click inside the right pane and go to menu GC View and select View All. Go to Tools, Change Tracking, and make sure Track Changes does not have a check next to it. In the right pane, add or delete text. The left pane does not change. Go to Tools, Change Tracking, and make sure Track Changes is checked. In the right pane, add or delete text. In the left pane, the section you are editing will expand the sectin and show the changes you are making. Question: Can we make the behavior consistent - NOT expanding the map - when tra

I am using IsoDraw 7.3 build M080 build 6 currently. I am working on creating a graphic and was using the "Fillet" command and all was well, then all of sudden the program stop trimming the ellipse and the line segments. I have tried exiting the program and coming back in with no luck.   Has anyone had this happen? I don't know if I might have hit a key or something. It is really puzzling that it was working fine then all of sudden stopped working correctly.   Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.   Keith

Hello this is my first question to this forum.

We had a toolbar created for us that is only active in dita topics not in the ditamap. How do I change it to be active for ditamaps? The tool bar always docks and undocks as you close and reopen topics so it never stays in place. What do I need to look for?   Bryon

Is there an easy way to reduce the text size for translations. We currently use 10 for English and was thinking about 8 for translations. Is this common practice?   Thanks   Bryon

I have a 2500 page document that is taking 6 hours to generate. It's a custom bookmap with maprefs to topicrefs.   I have 2 issues: The length of time it takes to generate the PDF:Is there a way to break up this document and still get a full index with correct page numbers?  The styling of the index is messed up halfway through the index.We have been generating individual indexes for each document and the index looks good. Once we compiled the full book/PDF, the styling was all messed up. Our deadline to finalize content is next week. Note we have approx 142 topicrefs, broken down into approx 20 maprefs. Also, note, we used PE 7.0 to generate the PDF. I am currently testing with Styler to see if there's any improvement.   Can anyone help or offer advice on how to handle this large document or why the styling of the index is all messed up. I am attaching a screenshot of the index.     I can live with the 6 hour performance, however, I really need to fix the s

Hi all,   I have a Flex LM license server running and I need to export one of those licenses to an air-gapped PC. I have no idea what I am doing as the license guy was laid off. I can see we have LMTOOLS running on the server and it shows FlexLM server for PTC. I also see a borrowing tab but it does not seem to give me a license file that I can use.   I click Borrowing, I leave Vendor Name: All, I set a return date/time, and hit "set borrow expiration". But where would I get the license key that I need?         Users of ArbortextEditor: (Total of 15 licenses issued; Total of 4 licenses in use) "ArbortextEditor" v8.0, vendor: ptc_d floating license
