We are using a template of files that I run a macro to update all the file names to a new project name. Is there any way within Arbortext to update the file name paths quickly (rather than manually)?   InDesign has a built in feature to "update links" that works well... just curious if there i something for Arbortext. We are using Arbortext 7.0    Here is the screenshot: In the example below, all the "xxxx_" needs to be updated to "desired_project_name_"  

Hi I'm triying to reproduce the default behavior for the insertion or edit for the element/attribute <img src="">, get a file_picker control (that Arbortext get automatically), I know that i can modify the operation with acl and js developpements, but i would like to know how Arbortext define the entitys and attributes to display the control file chooser?, it must be a config file somewhere, I would like to profit that behavior for other file document elements ex: <pdf src="">. Thank you

Hello, We are using Arbortext Editor 5.4 for authoring some newsletter in SGML. My editors need to know the number of characters in their title. I know we can count the number of words... but it's not relevant for them. So I'm guessing if it's possible to count the numbers of chars in a tag with a macro or something else... Thanks for your help. Regards.

I give printed manual to another customer(2).This is another User Manual than have customer(1).Then customer(I don't know which - 1 or 2) calls to our tech support and says that he finds the error in our User Manual.   How to identify which User manual does he mean? How to find it in Windchill?If I have 1000+ bookmaps, 10000+topics with 100+ versions, 10000+ customers.My question is about what metadata from Windchill I should use to track my printed documents with their Windchill objects.   I only see this way: Use version attribute of Dynamic Document from Windchill(burst settings) in DITA bookmap&nb

Hi, I am new with APP, better said with how APP works. I am trying to put together a list of effective pages (LEP).   I do understand the concept of traversing the document, extract the page number for each page and put it into a javascript global variable of type array and extract the info from the array into a lep page set or page region. What I am having trouble with is where (in what edit source?) to declare the array global variable and then how to access the array from the page set or from the page region.   Thank you for help in advance!   Florin

My pc at the office has a locked license. When I access my office pc from my home computer apparently I am using a floating license. So basically I am using both locked and floating licenses. Consequently, less licenses available to other users. Why does the license type change when accessing through VPN? I am connecting directly to my office pc where AE is installed. Should it not use the locked license?

Is there any way to add a box around a GentText using APP?

Hello, All!Please help. How convert my graphics file from CGM to JPG?I have used API IsoView (ActiveXcontrol), but don't know any good functions for it.

I'm new to this Arbortext Community, and Arbortext in general, and this isn't a question, merely an observation. I'm discouraged by the number of questions that appear to be unanswered. With all the "users" on this page, why isn't there a larger push to help other users? I and can't provide much insight or help to others, but my question hasn't been answered, either, and I can't believe that everyone else here is a noob like me.Moderators? Experts? Where are you when your peasants need you?

Hello, I am posting this problem for one of our developers.   In an .acl file, we are using the functions ‘oid_modify_attrs’ and ‘oid_delete_attr’.   When running the .acl on an .xml file opened directly from within Epic (File > Open [filename] or opening the xml from a ditamap file, the atttibute function calls work as expected. When working from within Resolved Document View, the functions fail.   What needs to be done differently in order for these functions to work in Resolved Document View?   Thank you, Will
