Hello!I am a developer, I use Java for writing my plugin. I know that Arbortext Editor 5.1 goes with Java 1.4 and Arbortext Editor 5.2 goes with Java 1.5.The developer guide tells the developers about debugging with a javadebugport.But what about profiling? How acl file should be modified for at least Arbortext Editor 5.2?I can't add profiling agent. If my post looks strange then where it the forum for the Arbortext Editor extension developers? Here is acl in init folder:set javadebugport=3500;set javavmargs = -javaagent:agent.jar MainPluginClassjava_console();

Hi All,Two Qs:1) Is there a place/functionality within these forums to provide 'pinned' or FAQ items that get repeatedly searched for? Like searching the software changes by build, with a list showing the areas affected with the new build? Or even a little topic organization?2) In Arbortext Editor 6.0 Build 040, we've got some peculiarities with our Print Composer PDF Table of Contents and Alpha Index Outputs that we do not have in Build 010. I know there are stylesheets involved, but the DoD provided DTD and stylesheet files we are using have not changed. Specifically, - a. The autogenerated Table of Contents have a couple of places where they run off the page bottom, overwriting the page number, and not displaying the rest of the TOC entries for that section (called a 'Work Package' in military tech manual parlance.) Not all TOC sections are affected, but it's a very obvious and noticeable problem to anyone doing DoD MIL-STD 40051-2 military tech manuals with standalone Arbortext Edi

Our editors are copying from Word and pasting into AE regularly. The Word documents they are working with are produced by a variety of external sources anduse the full spectrum of quotes. Does anyone have a snippet of ACL that can be run on save (XML)to convert all quotes to simple straight quotes?Thanks for your help all!Ashley

Hello,the remove_file function does not work anymore in my APE server. I've acl functions which clean files and they fail to remove files.It was working on another environment. But since I reinstalled APE on a new server, it fails.I checked access rights in DCOM and for the Tomcat service : the local system user has got full access to files.I also make a test by setting a very short time to live to Epic threads in order to force them to restart often and so to release their resources.Nothing work. Have you got an idea ?

Hi Gang,I am new to IsoDraw, my background has been in Autodesk products and Pro/E up to this point. So I am trying to master IsoDraw and have been asked to create a couple of macros to help expedite our process. The task I am trying to accomplish is taking many graphics we have created and scale them down to fit in a specific size and then export out to a CGM file. Where I am having some trouble is getting the size of the group of elements width X height. I want to take this data and determine the orientation of the group of elements portrait vs. landscape. Then I will scale the group using a specific size for either portrait or landscape. So if someone knows of a reference book for IsoDraw and macros within IsoDraw that would be incredibly helpful. I have the Macro language reference guide but I think I need a bit more help and information.Thanks for any and all help.Keith Howard

I'm looking to get event notifications when a double-click is performed on a row in a tablecontrol. I've tried several ways and get no errors or exceptions (I'm creating and manipulating the xui in java), but I haven't been able to find any that work. Anyone done something like this before?Thanks,-- Brian Jensenbjensen@bluelid.com

Can Arbortext 5.4 and Arbortext 6.0 be installed and run on the same PC without technical or performance issues?

I'm working on a large scale project trying to repair and use our entire PTC project. I'm working on learning and maintaining aspects as far up as Windchill System Administration to as far down as stylesheet control. My company is using information from our mother plant in Japan, who sent us a version of their custom folder since ours wasn't tailored to their products. However, their acl files didn't translate over properly, so their comment lines are in gibberish and sometimes their command lines are off, too. I've put in support to PTC, requested translated files from Japan, contacted my own IT and scoured the internet for a way to correct this translation issue. This is critical for us, since many aspects of our project our stuck until we can understand what they did and how they did it. I think that this is something programmers run into often, and would know how to fix, but that's a guess and I don't know any programmers. Any help would be much appreciated. ThanksI attached an exa

When producing a PDF from EPIC 5.2 the PDF shows lines around the graphics. Sometimes a full box sometimes just one or two sides. When the PDF is printed the lines do not show (which is good) but these PDFs are also used on the web (which is bad). I cannot recreate this same scenario when inserting the same graphic in Word, or FrameMaker, or when using XSL stylesheets and Antenna House to produce the PDF. Which narrows the issue to EPIC. Any Ideas to help would be very much appreciated.

Has anyone come across parser problems when it comes to Arbortext singleton tags not being properly closed?All of our singleton tags such as <tableref> are closed only by a > sign, instead of using />. The parsers we use are constantly complaining about this.Is this Arbortext XML Editor specific? Can it be changed?Ashley

Has anyone noticed differences in how text wraps to the next line in version 6 versus older versions? I'm seeing many differences between outputs from 5.3 and 6.0. I can't account for anything in the markup causing the difference. Has anyone else noticed this?

When viewing CGMs in IsoView, at the default size, which sizes the graphic to the viewport, the raster portions of the image is all shuffled. Horizontal portions of the image is "shuffled". If you zoom out to about 50% of the viewport size the graphic looks correct, but none of the text is legible because the graphic is zoomed out too far.   here is how the image is displayed:       Here is a similar portion of the image, how it is supposed to look: (the drawing of the plane is a raster image imported into the CGM, while the black arrows are vector elements in the CGM.)   All the vector elements are positioned correctly, but the raster portions get shuffled depending on the zoom level. This is using the 7.2 evaluation copy of IsoView and being used in IE7. The problem also occurs in IE8.   This problem only to select computers, but all running the same OS (Windows XP). The graphic will look correct on some computers, whereas on others it will be incorrec

hi, I use arbortext editor 5.4, there is a "rotate" attribute for table cells. Does this work? What must I put in there so that the cell contents actually rotates? (-90, yes, 1 ?) for example, the whole word must be rotated 90 degrees back, but not like this...elpmaxemany thanks,edward

Hi all,Having just updated one of our standalone workstations to Arbortext Editor 6.0 Build 040, we've noticed that the Completeness Checker now gives us errors for empty tags - which is a problem. (We've still got other stations running 6.0 Build r60m010 without this problem).Background - We're a small shop doing DoD Military XML Tech Manuals using US Army LOGSA DTDs and Stylesheet filesets. During tech manual development, many of our tags (particularly parts data) have empty tags (immature parts data during TM development cycle), but the tags themselves (and some attributes) are required by the DTD.We try to have everyone here diligently use the completeness checker, to ensure that our content is tagged as error free as possible. This is particularly helpful with newer, inexperienced TM developers. Everything runs cleaner that way, from our end and gov't receipt - almost singing Kum-bah-ya.Problem: With Arbortext Editor 6.0 Build 040, the Completeness checker is now flagging hundreds

Hello,I need to upgrade my 5.1 editor with the 5.2 version, but it seems no more avalaible on PTC download product session.Do you know how can I get it?PS I don't want to install greater version cause they use local language installation and I need the English version

We have an image that shows up on a ufe that prints a cover sheet in the pdf. Is there a way to suppress it so I can print two versions of the pdf one with the ufe present and one with out. That way we can send it to the printer and have them print it on pre printed covers.Thanks Bryon

Hi Experts, I learned that Arbortext editor 6.0 supports Documentum 6.5. I am wondering if it supports Documentum 6.7. Arbortext's Documentum support components are packaged in Documentum DocApp format which needs to be installed via Documentum Application Installer (DAI). The D6.7 stopped supporting DAI. D6.7 only supports DAR format of DocApp which can be installed using the new installer DARInstaller, a part of Documentum Composer. Does Arbortext Editor have DAR format of DocApp packages? Thanks Brian

Hello,I have some publishing profiles set up in the servicemanual.pcf file in our custom directory on our Publishing Engine server. We just added another user to the system (for the first time), and her Arbortext editor does not "see" the .pcf file. She does have read access to the custom directory. She is using a floating license. Any ideas on what is preventing her access to theprofiles?Arbortext 6.0, Windchill 10.0Thanks,Lisa AntellTempe AZ

Our publishing people still use Epic CD-ROM Composer 4.2 and have a usage question that I cannot find in the documentation or PTC's knowledgebase.When creating a new project or defining the consumer customizations, the wizards have various default values for folders, names/title/descriptions and other settings. We find that we need to change nearly all of them to meet our requirements.Can we change the default values so that our people do not need to type so much?Is there an editable configuration file with the default values?Of should we just create a template project and copy it for each new project?P.S, We do intend to move to Digital Media Publisher (DMP) or PTC's latest equivalent.Our publishing guys are simply comfortable with CD-ROM Composer at this time (with ArborText Editor 5.3)Gerry ChampouxWilliams InternationalWalled Lake, MI

I am trying to add profiling to text in a table, we are creating a parts catalog and have a requirement to add part numbers to the catalog that some of our clients do not need to see. So I thought that this may be an easy way to show and hide content. When I created the table, in order to see the text centered aligned, I removed any elements from the text. When trying to apply this profiling it seems that you need to have a element. Can I show or hide Columns instead.ThanksBryon

hi We are using ISOViewer for viewing cgm images in our e-commerce application. We are planning to build Android app. Android by default does not support viewing of cgm image. Can ISOViewer be used for viewing cgm images? If yes, can someone explain how to integrate ISOViewer with our app?ThanksRavi Kanth

We keep getting an error for a specific attribute. Invalid value "" for attribute "monographstatus" Even though I have set a default value to "none" in the DTD, the editor does not actually insert the attribute in context until you manuall go into the Modify Attribute box and set the value to none. Only then will it actually show up in the editor.I was wondering how can you can automatically set the value (acl) of the attribute if it's blankI don't know how do to acl but it would be something like this:IF attribute "monographstatus="" then value=noneIF attribute "monographstatus="anything else" then don't do anything.Make sense?OR - is there a way for the Editor to set the default values in the editor.Hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.Thanks, Darquise.
