SLM (Service)

We have a user who cannot write any .XML file to a network location with Editor 8.0.1.0. He can drag and drop files in Windows Explorer (Windows 10 vers 20H2) and with other apps, but Editor won't let him write to this location which everyone has full read/write permissions to... We're not using any Publishing Engines or any special extensions, macros or anything. Has anyone encountered this before?

The new Arbortext Web Editor and Arbortext Web Reviewer products have released! The Arbortext Web Editor and Reviewer products improve the overall process of creating service and product documentation because technical publication teams are able to readily use information contributed by Subject Matter Experts.The new Arbortext Web Editor and Reviewer products allow reviewers from across your enterprise to contribute content and review comments to Arbortext dynamic documents that are stored in Windchill.  The browser-based Editor has a simple, intuitive user interface that still maintains valid XML content that conforms to the DTD.  The Reviewer streamlines the review process because feedback is directly tied to the source XML.  Further, the document content is more accurate since error-prone manual format conversions are not needed.   For more information, see the Webinar recording here: Webinar: Enabling SME Collaboration for Documentation:  Int

As per the original Post    Hi I was using Isodraw 7.0 from long time. We have updated to Isodraw 7.3 and I have a problem enabling the cursor info in Isodraw 7.3 on windows 10.   "Use buffer drawing" option is not freed up. I tried the below methods but was unsuccessful. I tried to modify the "IsoDraw 7.3 Preferences" file in the local directory, but was unable to do so. I closed all the open files and try to check the options, but still was unable to do so. as per a suggestion, I even tried with a basic theme of windows, unsuccessful. Even tried to reinstall, but 😞 .   Could you please help me to get rid of this problem.   Thanks in advance,    

Is there a way to add an icon (graphic) to a step in a procedure?

Which preference file stores the Publishing engine URL? I'm trying to reset this preference but it won't reset. I've deleted the arbortext.wcf file but it is still there. Thanks in advance.

As per this thread, similar issue:   This is an old question, but I am looking to do the same thing for batch publishing and testing my XSL-FO. If the OP has a way to do this, or anybody else knows a way to convert XSL-FO to PDF from the command line, their advice would be much appreciated.

Hi All! Here is a sample DITA topic for example:     I am looking for ways that I might be able to display the graphic name as generated text below the graphic on the image tag?    Another bit of info is I do not burst the image tag.    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Hi Gang,I maybe missing something so please forgive me if this has been answered. When drawing a Bezier path and coming back to add handles to use to smooth the curve I find that some of the handles are very short and impossible to select to lengthen. Is there a way of controlling the length of the Bezier handles without selecting them, or am I just stuck? Thanks

I am using #XREF for linking document references when publishing to PDF. My setup is working for valid cross references within the data. When #XREF does not find a given ID match within my stringdecl (dead link) and returns an empty string, is there a way for me to display some alternate output? When this happens I would like to fall back on displaying some non-linked text instead.

I need each chapter in my document to start on the right-hand side. In my stylesheet, on the chapter element, on the Breaks tab, I have set "Start new" to "Odd page". This works for every chapter except the very first. I am using this stylesheet with bookmaps which include frontmatter before the first chapter. I experience the same behaviour across different bookmaps.

Hi Gang,Using IsoDraw 7.3 M110, is there a way to extend lines? What I want to do is to be able to select a line and have it extend to the next line/ellipse in the current path. This would be much like the "Extend" command in many different CAD programs. Sort of like taking the F5 & F6 functions in reverse. Keith

IsoDraw seems to have this behavior backed in of pointing and yelling very time it encounters CGM Application Data that isn't intended for it.  Rather than silently skipping that content (as the CGM specification says a consumer of CGM should do), IsoDraw writes a log file for the image.  This makes for an annoying mess of pointless log files. Why is it a file reader/displayer like IsoDraw sees it as default necessary to write files to the file system? Anyway, I'm hoping there might be a command line parameter, or registry hack to get IsoDraw to just shut up. Here is an example of the noise:filename.cgm.LOG### BEGIN: 2/7/2022, 2:47:22 PM ###*** Protocol of: 7.2.2022, 14:47:22 *** Program version: 7.3 M030 ***Import of file:filename.cgmFile format:CGMStart of conversionSkipped element (Class, No., Size, Count):                         7 &n

As some may be aware, Microsoft has removed IE in some of the latest Windows 10 builds. We use that OS IE to connect to Windchill, and removing IE has left us without any viable options to use Isodraw on Windchill. Has anyone found a viable option?

I've noticed that Creo Illustrate does not consistently group parts in the Item List. Is anyone else having this happen? We are on Creo 3.1 M010 build 27.I am adding annotation callouts manually. In one list, Items 1, 2, 5, and 16 are grouped as they should. But when I get down to 30, it should be 19. The Item Tag is the same for both.Here's my ribbon selection:Here's what it's giving me (see that #16 is grouped, but the two highlighted ones are not:
