SLM (Service)

We have recently changed from DTD to a schema. Since doing so we have lost our entities/symbols from the drop-down list. From what I have read on this forum site, it appears that PTC has not made an atempt to resolve this issue. I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution. I would appreciate if anyone could provide a few suggestions. Thanks

Is information service manager required for creating translation package?

Hello,We get errors when entries inside the the original xml files of:   Maintlvl = "field" and, wpinfo = "new" are not accepted by Arbortext.  How can we fix this?This is not an issue on 2 of our PCs.  The other 4 PCs use a reinstalled ArborText application.  All PCs are set to use DTD 3.27 for this project, it's mandated by the customer for this phase of the project.Any help is greatly appreciated.  My direct e-mail is Delores.Annajee@ubtus.com

Hi:For some reason, PTC Arbortext 6.1 M060 does not construct relative paths properly in DITA. We've set the file locations in Arbortext for the root of the DITA project. If we do not set the root, we get absolute file references. Setting the root gives us links of the form:<xref format="dita" href="SubDirectoryUnderRoot/someFile.dita" scope="local" type="concept"></xref>  This will not resolve in the build given a source file in an adjacent subdirectory.The links, in this particular case, should be:<xref format="dita" href="../../SubDirectoryUnderRoot/someFile.dita" scope="local" type="concept"></xref> This will resolve properly in the build for a given file in an adjacent subdirectory.If we set the file locations for each and every subdirectory, we still get incomplete URLs without relative paths.Information Developers are adding the relative path ../../ info manually until we figure out a fix, which is tedious and error-prone.It's as if Arbortext does no

Hi! We're using Arbortext Editor 6.0 m080. It looks like there is a limitation on how many characters will display in the tags. Some of our attributes are very long. This wasn't an issue in the previous version (5.1) that we used. Does anybody know how to remove the limits on tag display?

Hello,I am trying to invoke PE from my CMS for publishing. I am using this URL form CMS:http://localhost:28080/e3/servlet/e3?f=acl&p0=sch_e3s:ublish&p1=D:\cms_export\1654640360.xml&p2=PDF&p3=D:\output&p4=myemail@mycompany.com sch_e3.acl has following function as described in the PE Programmer's guide:local inFile = "D:\cms_export\1654640360.xml";local outFile = "D:\output";local parameters[];local resultArray[];parameters[ "type" ] = "pdf";parameters[ "stylesheet" ] = "d:\stylesheets\stylesheet.fos";local resultString = e3::convert2( inFile, outFile, parameters );e3::stringToArray( resultString, resultArray );if ( resultArray[ "result" ] == "ok" ) {# conversion succeeded: continue processing}else {# conversion failed: error page is in resultArray[ "page" ]}This does not work, how can I invoke publishing?I tried compose_for_pdf() method as well, that simply failed to compose.Can anyone suggest with code please.Thank you,Shivaram

I'm currently working with Arbortext 7.0 M010 and am having an issue with one of my ACL scripts. I'm receiving an "Unexpected argument:\" error on the readvar line. I've read back through the documentation and all looks correct. This same script works fine in Arbortext 6.0.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.SNIPPET:function translateImm(){ require comp_usingxsl; require compose; $dir = doc_type_dir(current_doc()); readvar -title 'IMM Translation'\  -prompt 'Select the Section to Translate:'\  -choice 'Maintenance'\   maint\  -choice 'Illustrated Parts Breakdown'\   ipb\  -choice 'Wiring Diagrams'\   wire\....}

Hi All,Could you please help me on the following issue?When I connect to Windchill server from Arbortext Editor, the "Eval output Window" appears.Is there any way to disable it?Thanks a lot in advance for your help,Jérôme

I think this was a thread some time back, we upgraded to 6.1M080 and CGM graphics are not viewing. We have Isoview and Creoview on all workstations. It worked in 6.0, somehow it is not picking it up in 6.1. Any ideas or solutions.

Apple's iBook app works awesome with EPUB coming out of Arbortext. Looking for something comparable to recommend to customers for Android. Of course, it needs to be free for consumers to use it. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.

I would like to use a group of entities in one file with a schema and xml is that possible?Should it be saved as a .ent or .xml file and how do I point to it

Using PE and print composer to publish pdfs. It is much quicker to use "print preview" but this is no longer an option since switching to DITA. Are there settings that will improve the time to create the DITA pdfs? The other issue we have is that when the pdf finally appears, if we make further changes to the xml, then we need to close the current pdf so that a new pdf can be created with the changes. Annoying and time consuming. Is there a way to keep the pdf window open and refresh with the revised content? Thanks

  Hello, fellow Illustrators, I'm trying to combine few drawing steps into a macro file for generating some hotspoted items.The creation step is triggered by MouseClick and works fine but I cannot figure out how to make it prompt again for mouseclick. A "while" loop somehow...The relevant code approach (without the changing attributes and so ..) would be:Macro calloutdefine me as MouseEventdefine el as elementdefine ppx1 as Pointdefine ppy1 as Pointme = Wait MouseClickppx1 = me.ptMMGrid.x ppy1 = me.ptMMGrid.yCreate Callout "Normal" ppx1 ppy1 ppx1 ppy1select noneEnd Macro  Any hints would be appreciated.Many thanks in advanceSeb

Currently, a DITA Map is basically shown like this, on the left: dita bookmap structure and on the right: the content (but only dita bookmap content and a link for topic).With the resolved view for edition, we can have the content of topics, but we loose the dita bookmap hierarchical structure (and its content):I would like to have in the same view (green blocks in the preceding illustrations), the dita bookmap structure on the left and the dita topic content resolved (for editing) on the right.  Is that possible () ?

user not able to open the CAD files

I work for a company that has recently started using Arbortext and I'm new to XML/DITA myself. The company doesn't have a CMS (Windchill or otherwise) so right now we are working from a standard Windows file system. The company is rolling out SharePoint, which I've used before with Office apps. Although it isn't as powerful as a CMS, using SharePoint would allow us to manage files for re-use more effectively than with the standard Windows file system. I need to be able to open, edit and save ditamaps and topics in SharePoint. I can create ditamaps and topics to SharePoint, and I can re-open them, but when I try to save a modified file I get an error message saying that SharePoint can't create the necessary temporary files. Has anyone run into this, and do you have a solution? Thanks.

My company is preparing to install the Publishing Engine that came with our installation disk for Arbortext Editor 7.0.What type of hardware (i.e. Internal Network) and software to interface with the hardware is required to support the Publishing Engine?Even though PTC provided me documentation for the Publishing Engine, it did not detail what my company requires to support the Publishing Engine.Thank you,Mike

NOTE: Much of the text was strangely removed after publishing...Hello all,Thanks in advance for your help.FunctionI would like the user to insert a project Path via the GET STRING prompt. I would like this prompt to be executed once at the beginning of the Batch Process. The next time this macro is executed, alone or in a Batch Process, the old information should not be contained.  ProblemCheck if the GET STRING global variable is empty at the start of the Batch Process.  Execute the GET STRING command once at the beginning of a Bath Process.DISPOSING of the GLOBAL variable at the end of the Batch Process.ProgressI have managed to assign the GET STRING to a GLOBL variable.AlternativeManually change the macro everytime a new path is required - already exists.ThanksAlan
