Hello, I have developped a custom application (with ACL language). But I would like to have a multilingual application (French / English). What is the best way to translate the dialogs and the menus ? Kind regards David

Is there anyone out there familiar with the MIL-STD-38784 (38784STD-BV9) and any information on the OmniMark information the files mention from the AF? Has anyone had success using Arbortext to output a PDF without a FOSI file provided with current DTD information?

Good Morning,   We are using Isodraw 7.3 M version. When we export the illustrations with hotspots  to svg format a reference to this spacenames are included: xlmns:itedo=http://www.itedo.com/svgfilter/1.0 xlms:extra="http://www.itedo.com/svgfilter/1.0/extra" xlmns:_DEFAULT_DTD=http://www.itedo.com/svgfilter/1.0/DTD/_DEFAULT_DTD_   The problem is that those urls don't exist and we are getting schema errors in the svg.   Another question, ¿        

  Hey all, I am stumped. Some users are unable to load graphics in their S1000D data modules, yet when they open IE and look at them, it works. I already did a complete uninstall (removing programdata, appdata, etc) and reinstall, and that fixed it.. for a day. Again, it fails to load in Arbortext.  Any ideas for me to check to see why its not working in Arbortext?   Is there a license or anything I need to look at? I compared a working machine to his, and I did notice a few missing files: c:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\PTC Arbortext IsoView 7.3\IsoViewX73_x64.ocx …\isod-info.pdf IsoEngine73.exe was smaller in size.     Products installed: PTC Arbortext IsoView 7.3.50 PTC Arbortext 7.0 M040 (64-bit) PTC Creo View Express 3.0      

New version of Editor was released.   Just wanted to say thank you to the Arbortext team, for fixing this option in the latest release. We are excited to be able to create pdfs that are small and compact using Adobe distiller and the new postscript files from PE.   Bryon

Hello, I would like create custom error messages for an ACL application. I must code the Xliff file but I'm having trouble coding this file. Could someone provide me a fragment of code as example ? Kind regards David

Is there a way to create a frequently used symbols tool to insert them from the toolbar instead of going to the insert symbols menu all the time?   Bryon 

As you know the World Health Organization (WHO) has upgraded COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus) to a global pandemic.  In light of this news, we have decided to change the 2nd Annual Arbortext Symposium that was scheduled to take place May 6-7 in Bloomington, Minnesota at the Toro Headquarters office to a VIRTUAL event.  We have also slightly modified the dates:  Tuesday, May 5th through Thursday, May 7th to 3 hours per day from 9:00am-12:00pm EDT for each of the 3 days.  An agenda and more details will be announced soon.  We are taking the necessary actions to help protect the health and safety of all our customers, partners, and PTC staff during these challenging times.    A special thanks to Toro for their generosity in supporting this event that was supposed to take place at their headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota.    More details and the webpages will be updated soon.  Please stay tuned.

Using the FOSI in ArborText v6.1 I am trying to convert XML content to upper case for PDF bookmark. I using the following in the FOSI. <att> <fillval attname="pdfbookmark::changeCase" attloc="SYSTEM-FUNC" fillcat="savetext" fillchar="conrule"> <charsubset><savetext textid="subject.pdf" append="1"></charsubset> </att> With the ACL  package pdfbookmark;function changeCase(window,oid){return toupper(oid_content(oid))} When I publish the using the FOSI the savetext content is not shown.  When I use the same ACL for usetext in fillval it works. Not sure why this is not working.

We are planning to deprecate the Arbortext Compact Installer support.  This is the ability to create an Arbortext install package that is smaller than the default installation and that includes a custom folder.   Instead, users will need to install the full featured Arbortext Editor, and the custom folder will need to be distributed separately from Arbortext Editor.   This will not affect the zipped customization capability, where the custom folder is deployed in a zip file.

Is there a way to add the tag templates menu to the toolbar a  drop down menu to insert the tag templates into your document?   Bryon

Hi guys, sometimes we must search and replace text with the arbortext editor. This works fine, but in some xml-files/productions it is important that these replacements are not made in some special tags.  We cannot find any option in the search & replace window. Unfortunately also with ACL we could not find a solution, as the "gsub" method would replace in the whole document. Do you have an idea to find a way to search and replace in the arbortext editor except some tags? Thank you in advance. Greetings from Germany

Currently we use predefined template sizes in Isodraw, once the image is complete we export to cgm, insert in editor and publish to pdf. Everything looks good. If I use the same process, but export to SVG  The image size changes and the extents of the image borders is not obeyed. What are the settings that we should be using in Isodraw so our template sizes are obeyed?    Once we get that issue solved is there a way to use the same image sizes for web output or do we have to go in and modify the SVG image settings? If we want the images  to scale for mobile devices are we going to have to set the scaletofit to yes?   Thanks   Bryon

Is anyone using SVG images in Web or HTML output from Arbortext?   A few Preferences can be changed and it will work, but only in IE (not Chrome) from what I can see. Also, it is placing the SVG image in an intelligent graphic viewer so you can zoom in/out, pan, reset. etc.  Interesting, but since it is not cross browser it is a fail.    Maybe someone has solved this?   Thanks Andy B.

Hi all,Been awhile since I did SGML, (been XML last few years), but new USAF project is SGML TOs in AF DTD 38784STD-BV9.I have the dtd and fosi stuff (provided GFE/GFI, but no demo.sgm file was in the batch of files... was hoping someone had a simple/shell/demo sgml file for starters. Anyone?Else, it's completely starting from scratch (and the old digging for basic start point / end point tags and attributes to simply 'get going.')Would like to avoid this - gotta build out the whole set of TOs anyway... trade for a beer at a date and location to be named later?Hopefully someone's got a simple SGML demo file I can start with.Thanks for all reads/replies.Regards, Bob W.(With beer but no .sgm file.... in Bristol, RI, US)

Hello,   Is it possible to fill the content of a title element, for example from a topic, with the name of the textual content holder from windchill.   So when you name the textual content holder in Windchill 'Test Topic', the title element contains the text 'Test Topic' when opening the topic in Arbortext Editor.  

Good afternoon, one of our users is trying to insert an appendix into a ditamap that is using TIA. When they press enter to access the markup allowed window, appendix is not listed there. It was there in SMA. Is there an easy solution to this issue? Currently we are inserting a Division and giving it a navtitle of appendix, but this way it is being given a chapter number which is not desirable.   Thanks, Bryon

Just started to get this error when checking out of Windchill via Arbortext:   Pagedesc counter variable "taskcdct" is modified in the styledesc.   This is pmrim, periodic maintenance.  How do I find styledesc to fix?
