Hi,   When I use a cross-reference to refer to a figure, a table, or a chapter, it is displayed in PDF as below:   see Figure 1.1 XXXXXXX, page x   Now I want to remove the page number, and I have edited the xref attribute in Styler to <_gte:CrossReference refAttr="href" xrefStyle="Text"/>. But in PDF, the page number still exits.   Could someone provide a solution to remove the page number?   Thanks.

I have this macro to get rid of all these duplicate callout styles from our .iso files. Not sure but would like to know why these new callouts come in when pasting elements that are not callouts. Regardless, I have this macro below and am simply trying to figure out how to shorten it with a “For/While If/Then” string function of some sort. Also below is a version of my many failed attempts. Can anyone help? Working code but long winded: SubMacro Clean Out Callouts WHILE (exists(activedoc.callouts["YBAEcallout"]) = true) DELETE CALLOUT_STYLE "YBAEcallout" END while WHILE (exists(activedoc.callouts["Normal-1"]) = true) DELETE CALLOUT_STYLE "Normal-1" END while WHILE (exists(activedoc.callouts["Normal-1-1"]) = true) DELETE CALLOUT_STYLE "Normal-1-1" END while WHILE (exists(activedoc.callouts["Normal-1-1-1"]) = true) DELETE CALLOUT_STYLE "Normal-1-1-1" END while WHILE (exists(activedoc.callouts["Normal-1-1-1-1"]) = true) DELETE CALLOUT_STYLE "Normal-1-1-1-1" E

Error occurs when user opens a specific file and also when user tries to insert a tag. User presses Enter and the list of available tags appears for less than a second, disappears and then the error appears. Work-around for user is to use the command line or “Insert Markup” from the menu.   Is there a way to increase the area within the element?

Key Functional Highlights Enhancements to APP Debugger A new title bar shows the name of the APP file being debugged. A new toolbar groups existing buttons into a single location. Keyboard shortcuts provide access to many of the commonly used functions. Display Inspector:  The Inspector window on the right of the debugger includes a Display area, which shows the current state of the fDisplay object. It is more simple to inspect the formatted page in this area. Control Stream Object View:  An object view for control streams facilitates the navigation and edit of lengthy control streams.  The view is available when a control stream is opened for edit in the debugger. Viewing Stream References:  When viewing objects, it is common to see references to different content streams, for example an fFrame object’s text property pointing to an fStream object.  If a property refers to an editable tag, the debugger shows a red magnifying glass icon. Click the icon t

Bonjour, Je désire installer une version d'évaluation d' Isodraw 7.3. Je n'ai pas de compte client pour l'instant. Comment puis-je faire pour télécharger ce logiciel ? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.

Here's the line of code that creates a txt file on my C: drive. $var1 is just text. eval $var1 output=C:\reports\report_1.txt;   I have multiple documents open and want to create a report of each document, but when I run the script, the output text file gets overwritten for every document I want a report of. I would like it so that each time I run the script on a different document, I get a new text file (i.e., report_1.txt, report_2.txt, report_3.txt).   I've tried using a variable in the output filename like below, but unless I source my acl file every time before running my script, it won't create multiple unique files. The eval command doesn't recognize the $n variable and just creates the filename without the variable. eval $var1 output=C:\reports\report_$n.txt;   I've also tried putting the path of the filename into a variable, but that doesn't work either. $path_var = C:\reports\report_$n.txt; eval $var1 output=$path_var;   Anybody have an idea of how to

Hi Everyone, ok I am wanting to copy and paste the elements from an old Illustration to a new one. It's pretty straight Forward and is almost complete, except for one problem. I have to copy and paste each element set seperately, as each element set has it's own layer:   Callouts Identification Number Raster Images Vector elements Border and so on...   I am using 'copy and paste into place' ensuring all element positions remain in relation to eachother.   Question How do I move the new elements from there pasted Position into the Center of an existing rectangle (Border). Note this rechtangle can different sizes and locations.   Many thanks in advance! Alan

Hi,I'm using AAD. Does anyone know how to use Publisher to enter the content seen in the Fig 1 Layout - Title Page of the S1000D spec? I see no obvious way of editing all these values in the Publisher in a way that relates to the code in the spec, such as <pmTitle>. I couldn't find a reference to this in the help files.I"m also stumped by the Publishing Issue\Preferences\Publishing Project - Introduction tab. What XML is valid to load here? Also, in the Company Information Tab you can load a 24 pixel high graphic, but in my output the result is stretched. What are the correct image dimensions? Even if you do enter the company information it does not appear on the first page of the PDF publication so I can't see how entering this information relates to the cover of PDF output.Greg

Hello.   Is it possible to customize the built-in Object Browser that is used by Editor to view objects in Windchill? My gut tells me no. However, I am not an expert. If this is possible, what documents/links would help? Thank you 

Is there any macro to do spell check in ISODRAW?

Hello Arbortext Iso Draw User! I have a little problem with my macro toolbar. After recording a macro, I want to add it to my toolbar. Unfortunately the macro, like the one I selected, is not included in the toolbar. Instead, an already existing macro is added to the bar again! Can someone help, please? Thanks a lot

Hi, can someone share a sample XML file that uses the descript.xsd schema? I need something to start building a style sheet and I don't have any XML files. I haven't been able to find it myself.   If you want to xxx out your data, at the command line type replace(".","x",0x2004)   Thanks!

I am trying to make our tables more WYSIWYG in Arbortext editor. We have custom attributes that define cell shading, font color and border color. We are looking to create the processing instruction on the table (for border color) and on the entries (for the shading). Note, the font color is set by FOSI, and is working correctly. We have tried to create the PI from FOSI, but it looks like shading doesn't work that way. See https://community.ptc.com/t5/Arbortext/alternate-row-shading/m-p/547179/highlight/true#M31463 Does anyone know why?   If FOSI doesn't work, I will create an ACL function that will traverse the entire doc and create (or update) the PI entries in all the tables in the document. I can't, however, find how do I trigger the ACL script on document load.  Does anyone know how I trigger the function?   Thanks, Yakir    

Dear Adepters, We are using tables, based on Oasis models (in a DTD). Is there a way to alternate row shading in tables display ? Maybe using 'tabstyle' attribute of <table>, Fosi (we have one) or Processing Instructions ? Thanks for your answers, Sébastien

Hi,   I can't produce PDF links in PDFs generated by File > Publish > PDF File in Arbortext 7.1.  I dug through the config files and found this in C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\doctypes\pdfconfig\pdfconfig.dtd:   The Annotations section allows you to turn off PDF features that aren't relevant for printing, such as bookmarks and links. This could speed up processing, and is required for PDF/X. ..... <!ELEMENT Annotations EMPTY ><!ATTLIST Annotations          enabled         %yesno; #IMPLIED          nameddestToPage %yesno; #IMPLIED >   Is this where I can configure AT to generate PDF links?   Thanks, Bob

Greetings.   Currently using ArborText Editor with Styler 7.0. I looking to use Editor at a Windows CLI to publish documents into various formats. Right now, I am attempting to publish to PDF. The following is part of what I could put together (referenced from  - http://support.ptc.com/help/arbortext_hc/ae70_hc/en/#page/admin%2Fadmin%2Fhelp5717_help5717_1.html%23). I would like to know if my options are correct as I am not seeing a file generated.   editor -c -C1 stylesheet_select(<path to stylesheet>, <use>, <doc>)  <output file>   path to stylesheet  = windows path to stylesheet use = 1 (which should be Publish to PDF) doc = ??? output file = location of *.pdf   What options correspond to the input document (originating document that should be converted)? What options should be specified for the output?

Hi,   How can I get the length of a string in points? (not the number of letters)   Florin

I'm working in Styler 7.0 with an APP-based stylesheet and I have two instances where the DivisionReference is pulling in the wrong data when used in Generated Content. I'm using DivisionReference in a ufe to pull in the title of a chapter within a book object. If a formalpara tag is used in a chapter, the DivisionReference pulls in the content of the formalpara's title tag, even though the Division reference is only supposed to be looking at the chapter division (and formalpara isn't even listed under the possible divisions to select from). The other instance is I'm using DivisionReference in another ufe to pull in the number of a chapter within a book object. The counter for the chapter number is getting set incorrectly under a specific condition (a prior chapter within the part has a table with a specific attribute applied). The stylesheet thinks all chapters after the chapter with a table in it have the same chapter number, and I can't figure out how to adjust the counter so it's w

I'm having trouble editing graphics that that are referenced in a DITA topic: If I'm editing a topic that is saved locally, double-clicking a graphic opens it in my laptop's default program as expected. However, if I view (or check out and edit) a topic that is in Windchill, I get the following warning:   Is there something I need to set up on the server side, in my DTD, or in a local environment variable?
