Hello all, I am a first time poster on this community forum and I was hoping to get community feedback on if the following would be worth an enhancement request. As I have engaged on customization projects, a few similar requirements have required repeated custom code to achieve.1) oid_find_child_attrs() and oid_find_parent_attrs() are unable to locate schema defaulted attributes. I feel this is an issue because Styler and oid_xpath functions are able to detect these defaulted values, whereas these two functions are unable to.2) oid_find_children() and similarly named functions. On the face of it, one would assume that I would be finding children within a target oid, but this function infact returns all descendants. Would be a nice feature to possibly have a flag to find just direct children of the target oid. Also on this note, would be nice to have an oid_find_ancestor() that worked up the tree instead of being required to loop using oid_parent()3) ACL oid_xpath functions supporting

Using Arbortext 5.4, S1000D 4.0.1, would like to color code the text that is displayed between element tags (using applicRefId="ap001") that are tied back to an applicability statement like <applic id="ap001"> for a given data module. Having used this in other editors like XMetaL that allow for this when authoring in DITA, was wondering if anyone could point me to how this might be done with Arbortext Editor 5.4 for S1000D 4.0.1?!? So for every time an element within a data module uses applicRefId="ap001" the text between the element is color coded even highlighted. Would like to setup profiles for the users, so ap001 is one color, ap002 is a different color, etc.

I am exporting cgm files from ISO, and inserting a "fig-tittle-image" in Arbortext. I have tried different "move/fit/border" size BUT my figure tittle and image are always on 2 different pages when I publish to pdf. My page setting (preference) on my template is 8.5 X 11 and my bounding box is 7 X 9. Everything is withing the bounding box and I don't have a newpage inserted. There should be lots of room for the image, why does it publish my tittle on one page and the image on the second page. From Arbortext I have clicked on the image and open it and measured the bounding box border and indeed it does measure the 7 x 9. I don't understand why it is doing this.

I had to move arbortext ISO draw to a new computer. I then reveiced the laicense failure message. I subsequentlyu went to the license management page and moved my license from the old computer to the new computer. I have received my new licenses. How do I install the new licenses?

we currently have Arbortext Editor, Styler and Arbortext Publishing engine along with Documentum. We need to upgrade Documentum Environment to Content server 7.1 or 7.2 as well as upgrading to WebTop 6.8. Does PTC support those Environments?What are the latest Documentum environments you support?What are the latest versions of Arbortext Editor, Styler and Publishing Engine?

Just curious. Authors are asking if there is anything Arbortext can do tohelp. Before I start thinking too hard, I thought I'd check with you all.-- Paul Nagai

RIP, DMP. ☹

Here's a new one...I have an install of PE 6.1 M030 I have stood up and started testing. I have checked and tested, license is good, everything works fine for XML doctypes. So I recompiled my SGML doctypes, and tested a document, and get a failure back from PE when using an Editor client. I tried an f=convert to see what was going on, and I am getting this error returned:<log4j:event logger="com.arbortext.e3.applicationLog" timestamp="1422287992636" level="ERROR" thread="main"><log4j:message>Exception error = '[A11851] Unable to open file \\txcapppaw907\techpubs\cessna\custom\doctypes\mm_generic\mm_generic.decelbPerhaps doctype is not compiled?'.main::ERROR = '[A11851] Unable to open file \\txcapppaw907\techpubs\cessna\custom\doctypes\mm_generic\mm_generic.decelbPerhaps doctype is not compiled?'.main::ERRORS[ 0 ]: '[A11851] Unable to open file \\txcapppaw907\techpubs\cessna\custom\doctypes\mm_generic\mm_generic.decelbPerhaps doctype is not compiled?'main::ERRORS[ 1 ]: '[A11

I would like to configure Oracle clients for Arbortext CSDB S1000D with Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 11g v11.2.0.2. Has someone this type of configuration. Are there problems with this kind of Oracle version? Thank You

Hi All,Wondered if anyone knows an easy way to detect if 'any' dialogue is open, not just the main menu ones.For example below, this works fine to prevent a message pop-up from coming when using 'message' in a timer loop and you open 'save as' dialogue. However open Ctrl-D / Modify Attributes, and you still get a pop-up with this message looping over the top.Or if it is easier to show the status of something without using 'message' at all? dbActive = windows_disabled(); if (dbActive != 1){ message "Timer widget is active $nticks" }Many thanksChris

Hi!I am converting SGML doctypes to XML but I get the following error when running the stylesheet validation:Expected an element nameThe error points to a parameter entity in the DTD:<!ELEMENT entry %tblcon;>I have removed this and tried validation but the errors always point to parameter entities.Any help would be appreciated!Thanks,Ali

Does anyone know if locked licenses of Arbortext Editor can be used globally or are they tied to contracts like concurrent licenses? Thanks,

Dear all,I am trying to figure out how the system administrator can configure the same setting among multiple Arbortext Editors.For example, In Arbortext Editor, Tools > Preferences > Preferences dialog box > Advanced > Acvanced Preferences dialog box, there is a preference named "newlist. How would you share the setting values of this "newlist" among multiple users? And how the system administrator configures it?FYI, I have already tried on the environmental variable "APTWCF" but it was not suitable for this purpose, because it also shared unnecessary values in Tools > Preferences. I look forward to your reply.Kind regards,Tomomi

In Arbortext Editor you can select how to write non-ascii characters - either character entity references, numeric character references or characters.If you are comparing a document that was saved using a different method for non-ascii characters the compare tool lights up like a christmas tree.It would be nice to be able to configure the tolerance of the compare tool to ignore the difference of non-ascii characters that were written in different formats.

just got a new computer, 64-bit 12gig ram. All other apps seem to work fine but IsoDraw 7.0 is very slow. Sometimes sits 1-2 minutes between dialog boxes. Seems weird to only affect one program like this. Anyone else experience any slowness with IsoDraw on 64-bit machines?

Hi,The setting of change bars in text is OK, but I do not know how to set change numbers (levels) in page footers.The change number is given in <change> element or 'level' attribute in various elements.We use Editor/Styler 6.1.Thank you very muchRichK

Hello,Some of our users are experiencing problems when profiling tags.Attached are the error messages.Some of the documents used in our company contain a large number of profiles. Moreover, our xml file containing all the profiles that we use is also quite large.Is there any character limit that we might be exceeding? Or maybe something else is causing this?Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I have figures that are labeled Fig 1-1, FIg 1-2 etc. The first numeral is the section number. The counter increments by 1 every time a new figure is encountered. However sometimes we have occurrences of graphic 'sheets', that is called sheet 1 of 3, sheet 2 of 3, sheet 3 of 3. Then the figures are labeled: Fig 1-3 (sheet 1 of 3) Fig 1-4 (sheet 2 of 3) Fig 1-5 (sheet 3 of 3) I would like to stop figure incrementing by means of Styler when are sheets:Fig 1-2 Fig 1-3 (sheet 1 of 3)Fig 1-3 (sheet 2 of 3)Fig 1-3 (sheet 3 of 3)Fig 1-4 We use Arbortext Styler 6.1, FOSI engine. Thanks Rich

Hello adepters! I am looking for any insight into Pub Caret positioning please.Q1 Did/can Editor (6.1 M010) save the PI within a line of text, or has it always saved it at the end of the element with an offset? (I thought i had seen this happening in the past)Want:para 1 para 1 para 1 para | 1 para 1 para 1<h:p>Para one text text text text text text text text text text text texttext text text text text text text text text text text text</h:p><h:p> | text text text text text text text text text text text texttext text text text text text text text text text text text text texttext </h:p><h:p>text text text text text text text text text text text text text text</a:corpo></a:comma></a:corpo></a:comma> count as 1 each = 2Green offset from OID of second =8total 145But this maybe completely wrong!? Any ideas much appreciated.Thanks & RegardsChris

Is there a reasonable way to switch a previously-integrated PE installation from one version of Tomcat to another?I am trying to switch a PE install from Tomcat6 to a Tomcat7 service. I cannot find what file needs to be updated.Even uninstalling PE, only running the tomcat 7 service, and reinstalling will prompt me to integrate with Tomcat, but still points the PE install at the tomcat6 service.Thanks,Jason A.

One of my colleagues has a problem where she is seeing table markup whether View > Tables > Table Markup is selected or not. She's tried restarting Arbortext Editor 6.0 and checking the topic in and checking it out again, but there's no change. Have you seen this before? Any idea how to fix it?

I’m afraid it can’t be done but:- two versions of the XML file are output using the write command, accept-all (write -ct changesapplied file.xml) and reject-all (write -ct original file_rejectall.xml)- COM command opens the transformed file.doc in Word and if an auto-open macro sees a “file_rejectall.doc” version the files are comparedMy problem is that very occasionally “write -ct original ...” fails silently and produces a -ct changesapplied file. This happens with deeply “nested” change tracking add/delete inside add/delete inside add/delete etc. (There’s drugs for that kind of thing.)Has anyone ever found a programmatic equivalent of Reject All besides write command?ceb.com

Hi,Are there any obvious advantages/disadvantages when using Arbortext instead of Adobe Framemaker? I have not worked with Framemaker, and any advice as to what Editor+Styler does better/worse than Framemaker would be greatly appreciated (pricing, functionality, ease of use etc).Thanks!
