Hello,I have a problem with resolution of href attribute on a topicref element in Arbortext editor (v6.1 M070). The problem is not present with v6.1 M000.When I have this url "../../../Temp/StructureTopics/pr%C3%A9face.dita" on my topicref it's possible to open the topic from my dita book map.But when I resolve the map (for modify style), AE is not able to retrieve dita file. I have this message " Pseudo rubrique : DITA Topic \"file:/_ATI_Not_Found_/../../../Temp/StructureTopics/pr%C3%A9face.dita\" introuvable"In the href attribute, if I replace "%C3%A9" by a "é" (../../../Temp/StructureTopics/préface.dita) I don't have the problem.Does it exist a parameter in AE to manage specific characters in url ?Thanks.

I try to use the atidmd markup in a FOSI for an SGML document to generate metadata and genenerate PDF bookmarks, but no metadata and no bookmark is generated.Example of code used :<usetextsource='!<atidmd:DocumentMetaData source="atend"><atidmd:DocView mode="bookmarks" fit="fitPage" destination="1"></atidmd:DocView><atidmd:DocInfo><atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Key>Title</atidmd:Key><atidmd:Value>Title value</atidmd:Value></atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Key>Author</atidmd:Key><atidmd:Value>Author value</atidmd:Value></atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Key>Subject</atidmd:Key><atidmd:Value>Subject value</atidmd:Value></atidmd:Entry></atidmd:DocInfo></atidmd:DocumentMetaData>!'placemnt="after"></usetext>Do you know why atidmd markups doesn't work ?I have tried this code with an XML document and It works.

Has PTC formally retired the Arbortext Change Page Application for Defense product? (I looked for general notices but did not find any.) If so, what are some alternative products to generate change pages (and LEOPs) for 38784-type publications?

I want to be able to restrict an attribute's enumerated values presented for user selection without modifying the XML schema - can this be done with ACL?

Hi,currently we are making tests with the newest Arbortext Editor Version 7.0. As you know the toolbar icons in this new release are renewed. The new icons are very nice and we would like to use them. The buttons are defined in the editwindow.xml. In our customization (acl-file) we use following code to show the toolbar button "activated" or "deactivated" (gray style) (we would like activate them only if the cursor is in context to insert the xml-structure):if(in_context("emphasis") == 1)  {       dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Fett")       dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Unterstreichen")       dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Durchstreichen")  }  else  {       dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Fett")       dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Unterstreichen")       dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Durchstrei

My company is replacing Adobe Acrobat with Nuance PowerPDF. Currently we set our default printer to "Adobe PDF" and Arbortext creates a PDF file after composition. I have a few questions:1. We get Acrobat Distiller with our Acrobat installation. When I set my default  printer to "Adobe PDF" is Distiller being used? I can't see how it is connected to Distiller. I uninstalled Distiller and Acrobat and I was still able to compose PDF files from Arbortext Editor. I am trying to ensure that when we lose Acrobat and Distiller we will still be able to compose to PDF; I don't know why I still can compose PDF without Distiller installed. Perhaps "Adobe PDF" is actually a different program? The Printer Properties don't tell me anything.2. Has anybody ever used Nuance with Arbortext Editor? If so, could you tell me how to set it up.We have an ancient system (5.3) that was installed before my time, sp there is a lot I don't know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We are looking into adding hot spots to our images used in our online parts catalog system. Currently we supply a third party with pdfs and they add hotspot info to the images they create from the pdfs. What sort of process is it to create hotspots for an illustration. We looked the PTC tutorial and all the parts are individiaul not grouped together. If you use hotspots can you still have your image linked back to the source? Our process curently is that we use jt files and place them onto the open idr file, explode and make it presentable, add callouts, export to CGM.Any guidance would be appreciated.Bryon

When I try to open an element in Astoria Workbench, Arbortext opens a pathname instead of the actual content. Why would this be? I am working on a virtual desktop that accesses a remote server.

Hi,I have one .iges file (3D Model) and related Bill of material. Every time i have explode the parts manually.Any one known " auto explode using BOM" Please suggest me.

Hi Guys, Anyone know how to explode the parts automatically,  based on the BOM table? Please let me know.

I am setting the "Vertical adjust amount" property to an attribute for which the element is a graphic. The graphic is aligning correctly when publishing to PDF with FOSI engine, however, when publishing with APP engine it is not using the attribute to set the "Vertical adjust amount" and therefore, the graphic is appearing incorrectly. I have searched the documentation but there is no specific mention as in how to set the "vertical adjust amount" in APP. Any help will be appreciated.

Our corp comm group just started using a service like widen to store images.  We are a long ways off from thinking about Arbortext so just collecting information for myself right now.

Hi, I was recently updated from IsoDraw 7.1 to  7.3.  I am no longer able to import IGES files from PTC Creo Parametric into the updated version on IsoDraw. Previously I would "save as" out of PTC with Surfaces selected in the Export IGES Geometry.  I was able to open that into IsoDraw 7.1 fine.  Now when I choose the same selection in IsoDraw 7.3 nothing appears when I open that file in IsoDraw, it is a blank screen.  When I export with Wireframe edges selected I am able to get that file to open in IsoDraw however it is unusable. Has anyone experienced the same issue? I have also noticed that several of the 3D tool options are missing from the tool bar, such as wireframe, HLR, Rendering, 3D select axis, etc. Those were all tools that I used. With 7.3 my tool list now displays with a 3D with a lock on it.  What does that mean?I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks for your time.

Using workspaces in Arbortext Content Manager (or Windchill) can be a bit confusing. How do you keep it clean? When should you create one? How long should you keep a workspace? How do you know which one to us (if you have several)? And, hey, while we're at it, why might you have several? What is a workspace for anyway? What does it mean? In this session we're going to talk about workspaces in Arbortext Content Manager and Windchill: How to use them effectively and what the best practices are for managing them.This session is accessible to Beginners just getting started with Windchill and Arbortext.View the RecordingThe video is now available for viewing: Watch this episode of Arbortext TC Dojo Online on our Vimeo On Demand ChannelTC Dojo Mastermind group members can watch it for free on the forums.About The TC DojoThe TC Dojo is brought to you by Single-Sourcing Solutions.

I know you can highlight it and choose edit, fit elements. This will center it but it will scale it to fit the square. Is there an automatic way to center the object on the page without scaling it?

Hello - The question I have deals with error detection within Arbortext.  Background:  I work in a group of 6 engineers that write service documentation using the SGML verion of Arbortext. This group includes a single book-boss, who is the most expert in SGML editor tools, including Arbortext.I typically work on small books (100 - 200 pages) that are combined into larger books that amount to in excess of 4,000 pages.  When the junior writers submit smaller files (IDE) to the book-boss, one task performed by the book-boss is to remove formatting problems and things that might cause problems with the book to build without error.  I recently submitted a small book (<100 pages) IDE file to the book boss that had a syntax error that was not detectable using the "Completeness Check" or "Green Checkmark" or the publishing tool used to build.It was discovered after three days of debugging at the larger book level (>4,000 pages) that the error I introduced was an extra

Just wondering, have a guy working on some S1000D screen FOSIs, but not being a FOSI guy or having ready access to styler, is there a way to open, for instance, the crewSchema.xsd as a doctype, and allow for opening a test doc to use the FOSI panels?Been goofing with directory structures, URI catalog entries, the closest I can get is doc arch will open the crewSchema without error, but errors when trying to open a test doc.Is this just a limitation of doc arch, or is there another way?thanks,-Jason

I currently have a FOSI that is failing to compile/print most of the times (but not all of the time).In the "formatter messages" window, the warning is "An empty page fault occurred."In the event log, the warning is "Error: Failure post-processing for composer type pdf.  FATAL ERROR: Operation terminated."and"ERROR: Runtime error formatting document: main:: Error='[A12627] Error: A fatal formatting error occurred.  Refer to the formatting faults log file "file name here"."The log file has been of no help.  I am unable to consistently get this FOSI to compile or fail at the same elements or point in processing, nor does it repeat with any other FOSI.Any ideas?
