Hi,We currently have technical writers using Arbortext editor in-house with node-locked licensing. Most of these writers are still working in Arbortext 5.3 (mostly because the customer was using this version and the style sheets are designed for it).We are looking into the feasibility of hiring some remote workers to handle an increase in workload and using terminal services with remote desktops to support them. Arbortext editor is one of the applications we would need them to work with so we would need to purchase some additional licensing. I've read some threads here regarding locked vs floating licensing for remote use. From what I've read here, I'm still unsure what type of licensing we would need to support off-site users. Can someone help?Thanks,Kim

Hello everyone,Is there a way to configure the burst config to skip over certain graphics by element name or attribute value?Most graphics will burst in as normal, but some will be handled through another source so we don't want these to burst into Windchill. These graphics will use a different element and in some cases a special attribute value.For example...<img type="noburst"/> or <noburstimg/>Is there a way to include an exception so these criteria are skipped by the burst process?Thanks,-Jeff

We currently have SMA implemented with key-based addressing. There is a lot of talk with regards to the SLM solution (SIM and Service Parts) that key-based addressing is unsupported and that TIA is the direction to move toward. We are interested in learning about others faced with having to migrate from SMA to TIA and developing a new strategy that doesn't utilize the key-based addressing approach.

Where can I go to begin learning about the basics of SGML and FOSI? My employer is interested in me being able to create and edit new FOSI files. Can anyone help me by pointing me to a place I can begin learning about writing SGML and FOSI files? I've had minimal luck finding any decent information on FOSI files.

I'm having trouble inserting file entities. I want to insert a whole document and I'm able to create that entity but when I want to insert it there happens to be an error saying, "[A11132] Insertion of entity &filename would make <book> in entity &filename out of context". What does that mean? How do I fix this problem?

Hi FOSI gurus--I have a FOSI issue I'm trying to sort out. In my document I need to have dynamically set footer information. I'm doing this by embedding a processing instruction containing the desired content at publishing time, and my stylesheet can pick up the content of the PI and stick it in the footer. With plain text content, this all works just fine, e.g.:<?footer This is important information that should appear in the footer><document><title>Important document</title>...etc.So far so good. But, I would also like to be able to support markup in that string (escaped for the PI encoding). For example, I'd like to be able to support having a <?Pub _newline> in there, something like this:<?footer This is important information<?Pub _newline>that should appear in the footer><document><title>Important document</title>...etc.so the footer would be rendered like so:This is important informationthat should appear in the f

Hi folks—For those of you who may not have stopped to read these messages from PTC/USER, or who may not have caught the implications, here is the summary:PTC/USER is shutting down the server that runs the Adepters email list.Their idea is to migrate all the PTC/USER discussion groups to the PTC-hosted PTC communities system. For those who haven’t used that system before, it’s kind of like Facebook for PTC users. They do have a dedicated area there for discussions of Arbortext related questions and issues, and that area does see a decent amount of traffic.Since PTC/USER are shutting down their system, keeping Adepters running as-is will very soon not be an option. Going forward, some of us have talked about a few alternatives:1) Follow PTC/USER’s suggestion and migrate to the PTC Community Arbortext board for Arbortext related discussions. The upside to this is that we get to integrate our community with the Arbortext user community over there (which has some overlap, but also some othe

In the presentation this morning on the new Arbortext 7.0 version, two questions1. Will Arbortext 7.0 work with Arbortext Content manager or just with Arbortext SIM2. Will 7.0 work with ACM, but some of the new features mentioned as working with SIM will not work if you have ACM.If I want to upgrade to AT 7.0 then will I have to upgrade my ACM to PDMlink/SIM. I will need to know as we start budgets for next year very soon and I would have to include these costs.Ray

Hi all,I have, what feels like it should be, a fairly common use case that I'm having difficulties implementing. An Author working in Arbortext Editor creates content. At various points s/he will save the work in progress content to Windchill (using WC Integration) - leaving the content checked out. Not until Author has completed his/her assignment will they check-in the document. This final act of checking in, should trigger the next stage in the process - the Review. The customer does not want the Author to have to go into WC to trigger the Review step.The problem that I'm having is that the workflow is being started once the document is first uploaded to WC and a dynamic document object created. It appears that the WC Adapter is performing a check-in/out in the background. I could have a "submit" activity assigned to the author but... this involves the user progressing it by going into WC.Has anyone had to implement a similar use case? Is there some OOTB feature(s) I could use? Any
