I am using Arbortext Editor with Styler V7.0 M070 with DTD 38784STS-BV9a. Somehow, the numbering of the figures in my Appendix got out of whack. In my chapter 8 I have 35 figures and they are numbered 1-35. But in my appendix the first figure shows as A-36. I need it to be A-1. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Folks,We have been using Arbortext as a publishing tool for almost a year now. So far we have not had too many issues we haven't been able to overcome. Typically our documents are between 50 - 200 rendered pages and contain images, lists, cross references, and often many tables.From time to time, I get complaints from users indicating that after rendering documents multiple times, they get segment violations and Arbortext closes. The work around is to restart and keep going. It seems that the more complex the tables get (cell spanning) the more likely we have issues. For fun, I took a document and copied the content many times over to see what would happen when we have a larger document - the result is Arbortext will just crash about 330 pages or so into rendering. From a system perspective, I can see memory usage climb (x32 version here) to just over 1.1 GB before the crash. The error I commonly see is editor.exe: segment violation (signal 11).My question is this, how do others han

We have a menu file that we are trying to call up, using the siteprefs file. It should get the menu file from the unzipped application folder, but I cannot figure out what the path should look like. The file is located in the custom\lib folder. If I enter the entire path I can see the menu. But that does not work for my other users then.    <Variable name="APTMENUFILE" value="..\custom\lib\menu.cf"/></EnvironmentVariables>   Thanks   Bryon

Does anyone use Isodraw (or Creo Illustrate) instead of Adobe Illustrator to do their 2d artwork that goes on the outside of a product? I thought I heard someone say in the past that they do this, but recent conversations seem to indicate that these tools are primarily for the 3d conversion for publications. I'm curious to hear about the Adobe Illustrator replacement capabilities.   Thanks!

Hi, I've found the explanation for a few Diagnostic Information Types within the manuals for Arbortext, such as 5.27, 10.25, 10.26 and 10.27. Through the years, I've come across the setting of 3.27. I've figured out that the last one give a ton of information on the code being processed. However, that's all I know. I have not been able to find a "list," if it exists, nor other options that may be available.   Is there any documentation out there that explains these debug codes? They're used with the "set debug=..." command.   Thank you, Bob

Hi,   Does anyone know how to resolve a "Capacity exceeded: DISPATTR page table entries"? I've hunted everywhere I can think of, including the code. I've found where the message comes from, but now how to set it or resolve it. I'm assuming because it's not set in any configuration that it's using its default value. I apparently have to increase that value, but can't figure out where or how.   On a side note, what is causing it appears to be when I use too many entities within a FOSI stylesheet. Even when I flatten the stylesheet, thereby removing the entities, I still get the error, so I don't think it's the entities themselves, but rather the amount of coding.   Thanks in advance, Bob

We have a table in the front matter which has a title. Since there is no chapter it shows Table .1: What should the condition look like in the title in table element to select a title in table in front matter. I can remove the generated text, but need to figure out how to select the correct instance. We are using the techinfo application. In the ditamap it is techinfomap, coverpage, then two topicrefs before the toc. Any table before the toc would not get a chapter number.   Thanks Bryon

We have a weird issue. We can send a ditamap publish job with profiles to APE and it publishes as expected. If we send a single topic with profiles we get an orange page, and an error message. From what I can tell from the error message, is that it does not know which pageset to use. Everything works as expected with print composer.   Thanks Bryon   <Record date="Thu Sep 24 08:48:33 CDT 2020" millis="1600955313692"severity="warning" suppress="0" thread="main"><Level>WARNING</Level><Message>Cannot find profile attribute correspondingto "Product", profiling may not work correctly.</Message><Contextclass="com.arbortext.epic.saxfilter.profile.ParseLogicalExpression"lineNumber="288" method="parseProfileRef"systemId="ParseLogicalExpression.java"></Context></Record><Record date="Thu Sep 24 08:48:33 CDT 2020"millis="1600955313911" msgid="A50756" severity="warning" suppress="0"thread="main"><Level>WARNING</Level><Mes

Hi, as you know it is normal today to do everything web-based within a browser. Our customers also would like to edit xml-content in a browser, without any need of extra software like Servigistics Arbortext Editor.  You cannot find a performant and user friendly xml-editor within a browser. You can implement an own xml-editor for example with HTML 5, but this is time consuming and at the end not user friendly like Arbortext Editor. Can anyone tell us, if it is planned from PTC in the future to integrate the Servigistics Arbortext Editor in a browser? Ideally without further system requirements, so that a customer can edit with only a browser.   We think, that would be a very important enhancement for the Arbortext Editor.   Greetings from germany

Hello Everyone, I work in IT support and a user came to me with an arbortext issue for me to troubleshoot. Im new to this job and extremely new to arbortext. He needs to open an XML file and a DTD file together. when opening either of the files no matter the order, Arbortext gives an error that it cannot parse the DTD/XML File. The DTD file specifically produces the error "Invalid Schema/DTD File". The error is related to XML compliance and i have no idea how to fix it.    ive searched around quite a bit and found this possible solution -  "Click on Cancel and choose Tools > Compile Document Type to compile your document type and use your existing document type with the parsing rules used in previous versions of ArbortextEditor"   We are using Servgistics arbortext, im not sure if thats something different then that article was referencing but there is no "Compile Document Type" under tools on the top bar.   Sorry

Dear customers, Please take a few minutes to fill out the following ACD survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KBSKMGQ   Your feedback and inputs are greatly appreciated.   Kind Regards,   Gil ShroitmanSenior Product Manager, Arbortext Content Delivery (InService), PTC Inc.c +972.52.8520.855E gshroitman@PTC.com

I am having a problem getting the page numbering to work in my document. The first few pageblocks in my document need to start page numbering at 1. The remaining page blocks have numbering schemes that start at 1000, 3000, 4000, etc. I created conditions to assign the correct page sets at the different page block elements, and set the page number to start according to a pgblknbr attribute (1000, 3000, etc.). However, the page numbering for the entire document uses the attribute number from the last condition, so if the last condition checked returns 3000, all of my pageblocks start with page 3000 instead of the attribute value for that particular page block. I'm not sure if I'm making a mistake in the way that I'm trying to assigning the page number or if I need to use something outside of the basic capabilities of Styler to get the numbering to work.

I am using arbortext styler to create pdfs. I am having a problem with controlling the page numbers. The first fews page sets have normal numbering (1,2,3...ect.), but then the format switches to 1001,1002...ect. When I switch the start at value for the page number to 1001 in this section, the entire document starts at that number, which is not what I want. Does anyone have any advice on how to control the page numbering throughout the document? -Thanks
