Bonjour. J'ai besoin d'écrire du texte autour d'un cercle 2D avec Isodraw 7.3.Comment dois-je procéder?Merci

Hi:We are in the process of upgrading to PE 7.0... current environment is 5.1V. The XSL-FO style sheets that are used and work well in 5.1 - providing desired PDF formatting results are now displaying PDF outputs with lots of large spaces. I discovered that the spaces are due to optional elements / scenarios that are accounted for in the DTD and evidently in the style sheet as well. Have anyone observed this issue when transitioned to PE 7.0? Are there any suggestions for solution?Thanks in advance for your help!Eample:  <fo:table-row>      <fo:table-cell border-style="none"/>      <fo:table-cell border-style="none" padding-top="2mm" padding-bottom="2mm">  <fo:block start-indent=".3em" font-weight="bold">      <xsl:apply-templates select="PotenEnvirEff/title"/>   </fo:block><!--"Potential Environmental Effects"-->  </fo:table-cell>  <fo:

We have finally figured out how to connect Arbortext and Windchill together, able to checkout ditamap and dita files, modify them and check back into Windchill.Is there anyway to connect Isodraw and Windchill together to modify isodraw files, the same way Arbortext and Windchill work together.I know within Arbortext, importing the Arbortext files for the first time, you can "save as server object" on the ditamap and dita files, it will upload the linked .iso files.  But again, if you want to modify the .iso files, how to checkout the .iso files, modify them and check back in to Windchill, just like arbortext files?

Hi,how to create a specific tags for tools, consumables and spares in DITA?In DITA if tools table is created in a separate TOPIC, what are the possible ways to give cross references in procedures?if a separate TOPIC for tools is created and referred in procedure. While publishing the bookmap is it possible to have list of tools specific for the procedure?is it possible to create a tool table in bookmap, for the tools which are refferec in topics under the bookmap?

How can we populate the New Document window with new objects that we'd like to support for DITA? We've updated the ditabase.dcf file to include the new values, but when we select File > New, the values fail to display. Our goal is to see the new objects in the list, and upon clicking on it, an XML template opens and allows authors to start creating content.

How to give cross reference to a table in a topic to another topic of the same bookmap? I have used Xref tag and given the href as the table id, format as dita, scope as local, and type as table. But the link was not working. Also is there any way to directly search and link the table using the resource manager?

Pressing Enter displays the tags available at the cursor location. For me, a long "tall" list appears. For certain tag locations, this list extends well beyond the vertical limit of my monitor. Is there a way to show this Quick Tags list as a horizontally cascading group of columns so it goes "across" my screen (as shown below)?  I'm using Arbortext Editor/Styler 6.1. Thanks!

Hello All, new to the board, so any advice would be appreciated.I'm trying to recreate our parent company's approach to our PTC solution, however our communication with them is limited.In doing so, I can begin to revise their approach and procedures for our needs and build our Windchill ditabase. We receive their XML files for our manuals, and I obtained a copy of their custom folders with their stylesheets. I also received their bursting rules. When I try to burst a book from the map level, it comes back with an error saying, "Cannot modify the following attributes: lang, because they are not defined. I'm still a novice, although I have gone through all the AE and WC PTC courses I can go through, but I'm not sure where to fix this issue. The attributes are defined in the bursting rules, I see language under the attribute root in the Type and Attribute Mgr in WC, and it is a valid element attribute in the dcf. Where shouldI look, or should I post this in a better suited forum?ThanksAno

We are in the process of switching our style sheet from fosi to APP. Currently, we use Arbortext Print Composer on each desktop for publishing. In testing the published output, we are finding that while it is publishing you cannot do anything as the system always brings the editor screen to the front. Is there a way around this??ThanksBryon

Hi Folks,I am currently testing out our Arbortext customizations/environment using Arbortext 7.0 M030 (as we are planning on an upgrade from Arbortext 6.1 M020).So far, I have managed to fix the toolbar issues (it seems some button icons were not recreated using the newest style) - this was fairly simple to create some new buttons based on the old design. - so this works. and I also fixed a few other issues with our toolset.However, while PDF composition appears to work well with our current custom stylesheet/schema setup, I have noticed the following error in our event log after the publishing cycle ends:ERROR: File Save Error: The file "{#APPStyler}_compose.$$$" could not be created.ERROR: Cannot access file "{#APPStyler}_compose.3ns"I have been tracing through various acl files, etc trying to determine where Arbortext may be trying to save a file that resembles this - however, as I am sure most of you know, the publishing process is fairly complicated.I did find a file called _compo

Hi Folks,Currently Arbortext support ePub2 as a format.Epub3 has been around for a while - and so far I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe that Arbortext will support anything newer in the near future.So the question is, will Arbortext support ePub3 - or is ePub as an output format just being sustained at its current level with no plans for further development?Thanks,Rob.

Is it possible to output generated content between table rows or, more accurately, as gentext before a row that looks like it occurs between the rows.I have a non-entry element that can occur before the first <entry> in <row>. The element has an attribute that, if present, needs to be output to look like a row (that spans the width of the table) that proceeds the current row. When I run some simple, mark-up only tests, I discover that content that is entered into the XML source between the rows is displayed, but content that is entered into a row, but outside of an entry, does not display. Using Styler, I've tried to output the content in the gentext on the <row> element, but have had no success whatsoever. I've tried looking at the FOSI source code, but I don't see a way of forcing this to appear in this context.I'm using Styler v6.0 M080, and the stylesheet is FOSI-based. I have no authority to change the DTD, so I have to live the mark-up I'm given.Here's some samp

Hello gurus!!So I was wondering, how can I change the content from one element, let's say a Title inside my document opened in Arbortext Editor? I'm not sure at this moment which ACL command can I use for that purpose. Thank you! Paulette

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to customize keyboards shortcuts in IsoDraw 7.0? I know that there is a default set of keyboard shortcuts but I am interested in making my own. I have searched high and low for the answer to this and everything I have read thus far leads me to believe it is not possible. I cannot believe IsoDraw has not implemented this type of functionality into their software at this day and age.
