We are trying to implement the Abrotext Publishing Engine, and we’d like to if “possible” have changes to parts listed made in the PTC Windchill Product to reflect in technical manuals developed in Arbortext XML editor. By doing these we hope to keep technical manuals as current as possible. Is anyone currently doing this? and does anyone know how we can have changes made in Windchill reflect in the editor in an automated manner ?

Dear Users,I am new to Arbortext , can you share info on setting up Cover Page and Index page using the styler menu. RegardsRSR

In July, I released my first book: Arbortext 101. It's an accumulation of 12 years of hard earned experience and a response to customers coming to us Arbortext environments that were configured more to keep the customer dependent on the consultant than the benefit of the customer saddled with their poor implementation.It's a story we've had repeated time and time again. Customers come to us because they know we want them to succeed like birds learning to fly.It inspired me to finally write the first book that distills 5000+ pages of product documentation. The first book about Arbortext not written by PTC. The first book aimed at empowering new Arbortext customers so they can get up and running in a day.We're offering the first two chapters for free to anyone who subscribes to the TC Dojo mailing list. If you haven't already, sign up here!The book has 5-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and has been recommended by Arbortext community leaders and Arbortext customers.And I did it all w

We have created a few macros in IsoDraw that we have assigned to a toolbar with an icon. What causes this toolbar to stop working? We can still use the menu, macros, then choose our macro and it will run, but if you use the toolbar it does not respond.Bryon

We are using Creo Illustrate 3.0, accessing Windchill through Work Group Manager. When we start a new file we import from Windchill in order to maintain the link to the original PVZ file. However, when the PVZ file is changed based on engineering changing their files, our Creo Illustrate files does not update, nor prompts us that it's changed. This is very frustrating when I know the design intent is for the data to stay linked/related.Can anyone tell me what we may be doing wrong? Could it be something in Work Group Manager isn't set up correctly?Here's our General Loading setting for Creo Illustrate:

We have installed Work Group Manager to integrate IsoDraw with PDMLink. I want to use .asm files, but I don't get that option when selecting from my workspace - only graphic types are listed. I could choose .pvz files, but I cannot guarantee that all the geometry is updated in the .pvz. How are others creating illustrations in IsoDraw from Creo data?

How to add header of the table in each page if table (say spare part list) is continued across multiple pages?

In this session, we’re going to talk about tables. Want to change the table from a simple block of tabulated data into something pretty and easy to scan? Want alternating colored rows? Want a fancy border around the table? With Arbortext Styler, you have access to the APP Engine for publishing, so you can do all of this and more! Whatever you can dream up to change the look and feel of tables, you can do it in Styler. In this session, we will show you how to get startedKey Points:Remember different tables are formatted according to different element rulesJust because it looks like a table doesn’t mean it’s a table -- a table is not a properties element, is not a dl elementSome things are easyUse boxing properties in the samples directorySome things are hard (alternating row colors)Get help from a mentorTake APP trainingSubmit an Enhancement request to PTC to add the capability in Styler for whatever hard thing it is you’re trying to do!Sample codeThis session is accessible to Beginners

Hi,I would like to duplicate an ACM server (for testing) on a new environnement.From my understanding, on the source side, I need to :- export the source data base (with ORACLE pump)- export source LDAP from Windchill Directory Server- backup the Windchill vaultsIs there anything else to export or back up from source ?Then, on the new environnement, I hate to install ACM and then :- import the data base- import the LDAP- copy the Windchill vaultsIs this procedure OK ? Where do I have to pay particular attention ?

Hi,How to position the main book title centered? I use default SMA Dita provided with Arbortext. I tried changing the margins but of no use.--Dhinesh

Bringing this to the experts hope someone can help...We have a library of Warning XML files stored in an Oracle repository that we link to other XML files by creating file entities. The file entity is created by using the URL link to the warning file. (http://<server Name>:0000/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=OSCLSLIMSAP21O1035007&RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased).This works great for doctypes that are validated by a DTD. However we have several doctypes that have Schemas. When trying to insert the file entity into an XML file that is validated by a schema I'm getting a context rules error. I believe this to be because it is looking for the namespace on the file it is inserting (xmlns attribute).Since we are working with several different doctypes with different namespaces adding the xmlns attribute to the warning files is not possible.Any guidance on how to address this issue would be great appreciated.Sarah Price
