Hi folks,I'm trying to enforce a spellcheck on topic content before allowing a check-in to the CCMS.  The behavior is identical to xml validation.I can't do anything on the CCMS end- are there any configurable behaviors in the editor to prevent writers from performing check in on a topic with flagged spelling errors?Thanks,J

Hi everyone,We are struggling with an error during spellcheck.  If the editor spellchecks a map containing a large number of topics we get crashes.Is this a known issue, and are there workarounds?We are running 5.4Thanks,J

I am using JavaScript to customize certain type of documents and I did notice a fairly long delay in loading a document that is subject of the customization when is open for the first time in Editor.If a document that is subject of the customization is or has been already open, the following documents of the same type do not experience the loading delay.I am assuming that the delay has to do with loading up the JavaScript file first, which has a pretty large size (1025KB), and then the document. How can the delay be reduced?Thank you for help!Have a blessed day!Florin

Hello all, we are placing jt files on our templates. We resize and contour fill until it looks correct. We then export to a cgm. We have been having some issue with excessive file size due to all the information outside the vdc extent also converts. We have set editor to not to display anything outside this vdc extext, but the cgm are being quite large slowing down publishing. What we have been doing to alleviate this, is create a box filled with a color then place it over the excess illustration outside the template. Select element, optimize, remove covered elements. Then it removes anything that is covered. We do have a frame around our template. Is there away to automate this procedure?Bryon

  Good morning all,A quick questions. Is PTC --> Arbortext IsoView 7.3 --> Isoengine73.exe  Compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2 ? (With IE11)  The application came bundled with an IETP Software. The IETP Software works fine, and I am able to see the thumbnail of the illustration alright. Yet, when I click on the Thumbnail, the illustration does not open up and the Isoview Buttons do not work.so:Is the bundled Isoview app compatible with Server 2K12 R2?Are there any tricks to make it work? For example, I have already disabled pop-up blocker in IE11, Added the relevant web page to Compatibility Mode and  to the Security Tab --> Trusted Sites (with "enable protected mode" disabled)I tried "compatibility mode" on the Isoengine73.exe  using XP SP3 and othersAll of the above to no avail  Any tips or ideas ?Many Thanks  Mariano

I am trying to select same elements with different parents that have the same class using getElementsByClassName, but i get the following error message:org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot find function getElementsByClassName in object com.arbortext.epic.internal.aom.DocumentImpl@156d16c0.

What does the code need to look like?

I am using IsoDraw 7.3 to create TIF and CGM files for use in our manuals. I receive many different starting graphics to build on in IsoDraw adding leader lines, notes and everything else. What do you all think is the best file format for the incoming graphic? I am trying to maintain the best resolution I can with a final file size for TIF files under one MB. Typically the final file goes into Arbortext for manual creation.ThanksKeith

We've just upgraded from Isodraw 7.0 to 7.3 and are finding it very difficult to cope with the way it now saves files.Previously, when you opened a file and clicked "Save As" it would default to the directory the file was originally in which to us is logical.Now, when you click "Save As" it defaults to the directory you last saved a file in.We are a very busy drawing office and are constantly loading up drawings for modifications in different contracts (and therefore different directories). We usually want them saving down in the same directory with a modified number.Now we have to be really careful as we can't assume that an illustration will save in the same place it was loaded.We understand that this modification was requested by some users, but it came in without any warning and with no way round it (wouldn't it have been simple to have a setting to allow saving either way?). We did complain about this change a few years ago when it was first introduced but we've finally had to upg

We have converted from SMA to TIA. If I open a file in 6.1 m090 it works fine. If the users open it in 7.0 m050 I get a parser error. There is no such element as 'title'. It also lists techinfoDomain.xsd as the file it cannot find a bunch of stuff in. Why would it work in 6.1 and not 7.0. From looking at the help session it looks like they are using the same file locations.ThanksBryon

Hi,I have two users that are seeing this error message as shown below:Unable to obtain a license for optional component PTC Arbortext Print ComposerHas anyone seen this error before? I believe they need to point to a server.This is for Arbortext Editor 7.0Thank you,Morais

Hi,The XML has table entries with "...Shading='gray4'" as shown below. Those entries cause tables in Word/RTF output to have cells with gray background. The gray table cells are required in PDF file but not in Word/RTF and both file types are created from the same XML. How can we get the table cells to display with white background rather than gray when Shading='gray4' is used in table entries in the Word/RTF output?We are using Styler in E3 v7.0.Thanks in advance for your help!Regards,Morais Burge********XML SNIPPET******<row><entry><?Pub _cellfont Shading="gray4"?><para> </para></entry><entry><?Pub _cellfont Shading="gray4"?><para> </para></entry><entry><?Pub _cellfont Shading="gray4"?><para> </para></entry></row>

Hi,In Styler, we are attempting to add text "Table" pulled from fixedterm element (<term id="table" text="Table"/>) in the XML and apply to table with titles in Word/RTF output. The intent is to pull the information from "text" attribute and add it to each table with a title except for the very first table (Annual Review) in the document. The text "Table" will be added and numbered starting from "1" and continued on countering to last table with a title. For example the first table with a title in the document should be "Table 1. Quality Control Material" and second table "Table 2. Reference intervals" and third table with a title "Table 3. Compatible Anticoagulants" and so on until all tables with title are accounted for.Currently I am able to pull the text "Table" from the XML and apply to the table title; however, the enumeration/numbering is not counting as expected. All tables are with title are displaying as "Table 1." even the "Annual Review" table - the very first table i

Hi,    In Arbortext 5.4, there is no problem using hyphen character '\' in .acl file, but when using arbortext 6, there will be error when starting the editor and the error locating the issue with hyphen character '\' in .acl file.    The error can be fixed by removing the '\', but since there are many '\' characters in .acl files, is there a way to support the hyphen character '\' in arbortext 6 but not removing it ?ThanksRay

I want to create a link(xref) to a publication section in a publication structure that's in Windchill not a section in the topic self.When searching in Windchill with the Resource Manager for Link/xref I can't find a publication section only topics no matter which type is selected.In Arbortext Editor I can only link to a topic or image.Does anyone know if this is possible to create a link to a publication section?

Hello All,We are using Windchill 11 and Arbortext 7.0 M030. I wonder if there is any configuration available for storing published pdfs in hard disk from arbortext worker. Basically users want to read these stored pdfs instead of downloading it from windchill. Please let me know if there is solution fot it.ThanksSenthil

Good morning to all of you.I would like to know if some of you meet the same problem than me.In some tags (item tag for example in my case), when I want to delete a letter with the delete key (not the backspace key), the following whole tag is deleted !If I want to delete the wanted letter I must highlight the letter with shift key and arrow and then, use the delete key.I can use backspace key, even sometimes the problem occurs.It's a strange behaviour that occurs with some tags and not all the tags and it's very dangerous because I cross checked a colleague work that deleted a whole item tag without realizing it.I wondered if it was related to the schema or FOSI but I don't see what could be the relation between them ?Thank you by advance for your replies.Best regards.

Hello the community.I wonder if it' is possible to free my files after editing in arbortext editor and closing.Once my edited file and closed (I close the file but not the instance of arbortext editor), this one is locked by arbortext editor and I can't move it in another directory or delete it, for example.It's very annoying because I must close arbortext editor every and the starting of the application is very long.Perhaps some of you have a solution (I tried to install an soft such unlocker but it doesn't work because of the administration rights).Best regards.

Hi everyone,Upgrading to 7.0 m040. We seem to have lost the Bookmarks buttons from the menu icon button ribbon. They are still documented as part of the Edit Toolbar (set toolbar1=on/off). The pop-up Bookmarks dialog is still available from the Insert menu. But I can't find (haven't yet, anyhow) the buttons.Thanks.P.S. Happy New Year!

Our publishing engine outputs huge file sizes, even when the low resolution job option is selected. Because of this, we end up using Acrobat to reduce the pdf file size. This led us to question whether the publishing engine is compressing graphics when outputting to pdf files using the low resolution job settings (which are set correctly to compress). Does anyone have some insight or recommendations on other avenues to investigate?  We are using Arbortext 6.0 M140 with eps graphic format.

Every time I copy and paste any text using ctrl+c and ctrl+v, it pastes the information twice. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so have you found a solution?

Hello-I can't get Find/Replace attributes to find attributes that are null (empty).  Is there a trick to that?  Or a way to do it from the command line?  Thank you.
