Is there a way to incorporate Python to open all .xml files in a directory and publish each one? If not with Python, is there a way to batch Publish files? Thank you

Hello. Arbortext Editor provide a set of ACL functions that query CCF Files to create pipeline processes. I have created a function for PDF publishing but nothing is generated (no file and no error). See code below. Can you help me ?   #PDFFileComposer.acl autoload _composerlog::start_job _composerlog;autoload _composerlog::add_record _composerlog;autoload _composerlog::end_job _composerlog; function composeToPDFFromDoc(docId, stylesheet, outputFile) { local installPath = main::aptpath; local ccfParameters[]; local composeStatus; #Get the composer for PDFfile.ccf (present in the composerpath local composer = get_composer(ccfParameters, "pdf", docId); #setup the parameters ccfParameters["stylesheet"] = stylesheet; ccfParameters["stylesheetType"] = "fosi"; ccfParameters["outputFile"] = outputFile; ccfParameters["processingType"] = "smallDoc"; ccfParameters["docID"] = docId; ccfParameters["convertPI"] = "true"; #start logging _composerlog::start_job("PDFFileComposer"); composeStatus

Hello, I want to use _ufe element with universal definition of the colour. The actual colour will be set in the xml document, e.g. in the <productname> element and his "role" attribute. I changed the APP source for _ufe by this way: ...//var color_value = '#0c6979';var color_value = formating.evaluateXPath("//productname/@role");   // Print/PDF propertiesstyle.color = ( color_value )... but it doesnť work. Maybe the formating.evaluateXPath function doesn't return a string value?The attempt with the direct setting of the color (a commented row) works OK.   Thanks for help Jana

Arbortext Editor 6.0 and 6.1 uses lower version of JRE, to support custom plugin we need to upgrade Arbortext JRE to JRE 1.8. Does PTC supports using Arbortext Editor 6.0 and 6.1 with JRE 1.8?

Hello community, our Team uses for image search Adobe bridge CS6 and it is working fine. Every Isodraw file in Adobe bridge CS6 is showing as a thumbnail. Fine. Now, we have new group members and they uses Isodraw also. Same version, same pc. But the image search in Adobe bridge CS6 is not working. Instead the thumbnail is the programm icon shown. In the attachment there are two screenshots. How can we solve the issue? Any ideas? Regards

Hello, I'm using Arbortext Editor in combination with Intelligent graphics (PVZ files created in Creo Illustrate).Both are stored and managed in Windchill.Now I was wondering if it is possible to insert pvz files with a specific lifecycle state of version.For example in topic test.xml I want version A of graphic 123.pvz and not the latest one which is version B.So does someone know if this is possible?

Détails de la requête : 13969240 <noscript> Hello,I try to use the Java Pipeline example (HTMLFileComposer.class in the directory C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\samples\pipeline).I use this ACL code to launch the java method "composeToHtmlFromDoc"function composeHTML() { local doc=current_doc(); local stylesheet="C:/temp/ie/s1000d_2_3.xsl"; local outputFile="C:/temp/test.htm"; local ret = java_static("HTMLFileComposer","composeToHtmlFromDoc",doc,stylesheet,outputFile);}When I execute the ACL function "composeHTML".Arbortext Editor return the following error:[A30135] cannot load class HTMLFileComposer because a dependent class was not found.Why this error?Nothing is displayed in Java console.RegardsDavid

I am trying to find a way to capture the character immediately to the left of the cursor from within one of my ACL functions. For example, let's assume that my | character is the cursor and I have this text "The fox is furry and red" If my cursor is positioned like so: "The fox is| furry and red" then I should get the character 's' which is immediately to the left of my cursor shown above.   There is a command called attribute (or just att) that returns a bunch of information, but how do I get the single character shown in the return of that att command? It seems that it can only be used on the command line, but I need to find a way to do this in my ACL script.   Any help would be greatly appreciated because the ACL reference is not clear on how to use this command. Also, perhaps there's a BETTER way (i.e. another ACL function) to get the character as described above. Either way, please have a look and let me know your thoughts on it. - Giorgio

Hi Everyone, I built a custom toolbar by editing the editwindow.xml file in Arbortext (C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext Editor\lib\dialogs) however, I understand that it is not the correct way to add a custom toolbar. I've read a great part of the customization guide and also the programmers guide, but I just cannot find the information I need, in the form of a code sample,  that will help me do this all correctly.   I have removed the toolbar XML code from the editwindow.xml file and put it into a new file called "my-custom-toolbar.xml". I have also created a new file called "my-custom-toolbar.acl" that hopefully can be used to load the toolbar when a document is opened up in the Arbortext editor. Both of these files are in a following location on my PC:   C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext Editor\custom\editinit   I think I am close to succeeding because when I put a response("HELLO") message within the above ACL file, it showed up as expected. Unfortunately

I have a user whose scroll bar area is as white the text background. There is a grey bar that she can grab and scroll with, and if she clicks over or under that bar, the page will "scroll", so the bar itself is working fine. But the background of the scroll area is not there. It's not a big deal, but the user used to have this feature until getting a new machine. Unfortunately it was months ago so her old machine (and install) is long gone. See the screen shot of my view. She has the dark grey bar, but not the light grey area next to the word "from" It's just as white as the page background..

Good morning all, I'm new to Arbortext and need to know what database platforms are supported for use as a CSDB?CheersJohn

I need to count the front matter and rear matter of each volume in a book to display in each volume's LEP. The counters are incremented in the page sets and saved to a time-independent variable. Then that TIV is saved to another TIV in the rear matter (<vol-rear> below) for the LEP. This is not working as desired, all the LEP front-rear page counts are returning the front-rear page count of the last volume. If I save the TIV to a TDV in <vol-rear> instead, the result is blank. I thought you could save a TIV to a TDV. Is there a way to get these page counts in the FOSI? I'm using Arbortext 6.0. Thanks for any suggestions.   The tagging is: <volume> front matter...(includes LEP)                 </volume> <tim>                 <titlepg> last of front matter</

Hi,We are using Arbortext editor for developing XML content. We have a list of words that should not appear in our XML files. Is there a feature currently available that will highlight these words and inform the user that the words are part of the "Do not use" list. Please let me know if this functionality can be achieved in Arbortext editor. If yes, how?   Thanks,Rafiq

Hello, I have a lot of sgml files in a directory. I would like to convert them with arbortext editor (to keep change tracking PI) without open them one by one... Is there a way ? I found some topics here but nothing really helpfull. Thanks for your help. Benjamin

Has anyone been able to integrate Arbortext and Windchill when single sign on protocol is in place?

Are there any impacts on Arbortext Editor 7.0 with Print Composer when composing xsl-fo to PDF if the environment variables are setup as USER environment variables and the software was installed by administrator? Having issues getting the following to work: <fo:external-graphic src="url({$slash2})" /> The value inside the url() does resolve correctly.

I am trying to find a good way for Reviewers in Windchill  to see the "othermeta" data from Arbortext without needing Arbortext. We want them to not only review the deliverables but also the metadata.Just wondering others may be doing?

If you create schematron files for concept, task, topic, or glossentry, the documentation indicates that you put the doctype.sch in the Arbortext\doctypes folder.  This is extremely vague, as the real location of the file goes in your Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\document_type folder.  At least the former did not work for me, perhaps someone has had a different experience.  Since this works for Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\bookmap\bookmap.sch and Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\map\map.sch, my assumption was that this should also work for concept, task, etc.  Also, all of the xsd files fall under Arbortext\application\com.arbortext.dita\doctypes\oasis\technicalContent\xsd, and placing schematron files there does not work either.   Arbortext only provides instructions for specifying your schematron file by using their Architect tool.  You would have to have consumed the Arbortext_path\doctypes\read
