Need an API that allows selecting over tag borders without turning balanced selections off

We require an API that allows us to select over tag borders without turning balanced selections off. We have to do that be cause we want to be able to select text in tags partially.   Here is an example: <x>a <b>c d</b>e</x> We like to be able to select "a" and "c", or "d" and "e" without automatically selecting "c" and "d" together. Currently our code looks like this: set balancedselections=offscroll_to_oid(oid);goto_oid(oid, offset);CharRightExtend; repeat selLen; Maybe it's feasible to introduce some kind of function that allows to extend right without balancing the tag selection. scroll_to_oid(oid);goto_oid(oid, offset);CharRightExtendUnBalanced; repeat selLen; Is this something that you could consider for an upcoming release?

XML (DITA Topics) database in Arbortext CMS

Hi,   I am using Arbortext CMS to store our DITA topics. I wanted to know how those XML files store in the CMS database. The reason I am asking this is for XML parse and reporting.   For example, a DITA topic may look like this: <topic id="topic" xml:lang="en"><title>Authoring DITA Topics</title><body><p>When you first open a DITA topic, the default <phid="ArbortextEditor-0CDFC876">Arbortext Editor</ph> configurationfor editing DITA topics appears. </p></body></topic>   What I want to do is a XML search and the result would be the content in an element with an specific attribute. In this case, I want to get the content "Arbortext Editor" when I do a search for a tag <ph> with "id=ArbortextEditor-0CDFC876".   Thanks, Kangxw

Save all files used as references

Hello everyone,   I have a manual made in DocBook 4.0 which consists in a root file with 10 files references (the chapters) each of which has 10 references (the sections). Total = 100 xml files.   The files have the characters saved as numeric references, and I need them as characters, which I can do by opening file by file and saving them with the right setting ("save as characters") in preferences, but...   Is there a way to save ALL 100 files in one go, without having to open them one by one?   Thanks in advance!   GABRIEL

Arbortext Editor 6.1 in Windows 10

Hi,   Is anyone here in the community using Arbortext editor 6.1 M070 with Windows 10?   Though it is not supported by PTC we had been running Arbortext in Windows 10 which was working fine without issues till the last Microsoft Windows 10 update. Since then, we face crashing issue without warning whenever we attempt to insert any element that requires opening an additional window without any error log. The Windows event viewer points to ucrtbase.dll which is related the Visual C++ component but we couldn't identify the exact cause of the issue. If we just uninstall the latest Visual C++ that got installed with this OS update, the issue still exists and the event viewer keeps pointing to ntdll.dll which is again a Windows core kernel.   Since the OS and version is not supported, we couldn't get much of TS help. If any one has run into such issues, please let me know if there is any fix.   Thanks in advance!!   Regards, Amar Karthi Arasan

How do you batch convert UTF-16 to UTF-8?

Hi, I have a lot of files that I have exported from the AAD CSDB and I want to convert them in bulk from UTF-16 to UTF-8. I am familiar with the following ACL: save_as -encoding utf-8 myfilename.xml This works but is too laborious to repeat for every file. So, I have attempted to create a Windows Command Line batch file to open Arbortext Editor and execute the command on the files in a local directory using the -c switch. At the moment I get nothing out of it. The script does not open a dialog and ask to save the file. I would prefer to merely replace the current file. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how the script might be improved in order to process multiple files? :REM convert all files in directory from UTF-16 to UTF-8 ECHO ********************* ECHO CONVERT UTF16 TO UTF8 ECHO ********************* for %%f in (*.xml) do ( "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext Editor\bin\x86\editor.exe" -c "save_as -encoding utf-8" %%f ) ECHO ********************* ECHO D O N E ECHO ************

svg export in IsoDraw faulty

Hello! Most recently, I used Isodraw 7.3 in the M040 build 6. An svgz export has worked flawlessly in this version. Now my system was changed to Windows 10 and with this came an Isodraw update to M080 build 6. Since this svgz export does not work correctly anymore. Hotspots created in Isodraw are displayed twice in the svgz, which means that the online spare parts catalog can no longer display the correct item numbers!   I attached screenshots to this problem in a Word document. About help and solution suggestions, I would be very grateful!: smileyvery-happy:   Best regards Mirko

How to change the 'Highlights' position ?

Hi All,   I'm working on the customization of a stylesheet. When I try to publish my CMM, I find that the highlights position is after the title page. Which attribute in the FOSI I must modify to make sure that the highlights appear before the title page?   For your information, SGML tag concerned is transltr, the first element in mfmatr.   If you can show some FOSI examples, it will help a lot !   Thank you in advance.

xml and dita files open differently

Hi,   I have Arbortext Editor 7.1 without Styler.   When I try to open an *.xml document that uses the 40051-2C XML architecture, it opens with no problems.   When I try to open a *.dita document that uses the DITA XML architecture, it tries to open Arbortext with Styler and I get a message about no license.  If Arbortext is already open, the *.dita document opens with no problems.   I've looked through Windows file associations, environment variables, and the C:\flexlm directory, but have had no luck.  The documents use different DOCTYPE declarations (DITA versus USA-DOD) but I can't change that.   Do you know how I can fix this issue?   Thanks, Bob

Strange behavior with latest 40051-2C config files

Hi,   I've been using Arbortext 7.1 to author documents that use the 40051-2C XML architecture.    The latest version of the configuration files are acting strangely.  Apparently, you can insert any tag anywhere.  That is, when I click Insert > Markup for any tag, I get a big list of tags that starts with a.statement and ends with zip.   In some ways, this looks like a good thing, but it will probably cause problems somewhere.  I'm wondering if this was intentional, accidental, or maybe a problem at my end.  I've done a WinMerge comparison of the last two versions of the config files and can't find any clue to what's going on.   I access the config files from https://pubsweb.redstone.army.mil/DTD-FOSI/Webpages-60/ALLDTDs-AMCOM.html.  It's the 40051C 6.0 link at the top that's dated 11/11/18.   Thanks, Bob

Getting big errors when scaling, moving or rotating in Isodraw 7.3 in Windows 10

We've just upgraded to Windows 10 from XP and also finally upgraded to Isodraw 7.3 (M060).We're having major issues with scaling. moving and rotating.Lines are being lost or added. See the example attached, left hand view is original, right hand view has just been copied and moved - same thing happens when scaling or rotating.It's not consistent, sometimes it's the ellipses that go wrong, sometimes it's lines.Another glitch we've come across so far, but not as serious:Using F5 (to split lines with ref points), the ref points are often either difficult to see or missing altogether.Does anyone else have these problems and if so, what can be done to correct them?

Debugging ACL scripts

I know that one can use the message command at every line but I would like to step through code (especially if looking through code someone else has written.   Has anyone discovered an efficient and productive way to debug ACL scripts? Are there plans for a PTC IDE to be able to help with debugging?
