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!

I have a stylesheet developed for Styler 6.0 when i try to use this stylesheet in 6.1 and to publish pdf output the graphics started overlaping and Showing Event Log Error => <Level>ERROR</Level><Message>Pg 4 All Table Columns too narrow tofit text - exit table [1201] (3:"_s_h_o_w_4_"#350) (2:"stylesheet0:Element:image:image_everywhere_else:onEnter"#2087) (1:"editorDom0"#{0;/RDStyle/ResolvedMap/bookmap/chapter[2]/body/section/fig/image/alt}) It also shows an error => the pre exported FOSI is out of date and should be re exported. Screen shot attached .How to update the 6.0 stylesheet for 6.1.

Hi ADEPTers,I'm in the process of upgrading my Arbortext Editor/PE/CPA system to 6.0 M090. The system is quite customized, but that's beside the point. One of the things that PTC mentions within the Release Notes for CPA 1.6 M030 is that one must re-baseline all your documents. We don't have that luxury.With that said, I'm working on making the new system produce the same output as the 5.3 M060/CPA 1.4 F000 system has been doing. I'm doing well except that I find that every once in a while, a paragraph or table column is breaking slightly different. Instead of "in-struction" at the end of a line, I get "instruc-tion". Though still correct, the difference flows through the paragraph to where the last line may be pulled up. This in turn, causes an extraline available on the page allowing a line from the next page to roll to this page.After some intense digging, I found that the CPA code (_cpa_driver.acl) is testing to see if the current version is5.4 F000 or higher. If it is, the code ch

Hello all,I would like to get a full valid context location path (with NS local-name etc) from the current node/oid/cursor pos in Editor 6.1 and the only obvious option i have seen so far is 'context_string'.As this outputs a kind of psuedo location path not valid in its raw form to re-use, i was wondereding if there might be other quick options i have overlooked that anyone can suggest without going around the block and back!?<doc><a:chap><b:sec><b:other>text</b:other><c:para>text1</c:para><c:para>text2|context_string gives: "doc(a:chap(b:sec(b:other()c:para()c:para("(i can post process with some regEx this but be nice not to!)need to have something valid like "//doc/node()[local-name()='chap']/node()[local-name()='sec']/node()[local-name()='para'][2]"(similar to get-context xpath function in APP)Many thanks!Chris

Is there a setting that puts a border around graphics referenced with an entity file? Production sees the border but when I open the file in Arbortext from my virtual desktop I don't see a border, so I thought it might be a setting in Arbortext 5.4. The border wasn't there in 5.3 (We don't want the border, it displays in the PDF, and not all the graphics have the border.)This is all my graphic code in Styler:<e-i-c gi="graphic" occur="all"><charlist inherit="1"><indent inherit="0"/"><textbrk startln="1" endln="1"/"></charlist><att><specval attname="gentext-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY"/"><specval attname="_styleexportfosi::reset_counters_seen"<br"/>attloc="system-func" attval="1"/><charsubset></charsubset></att></e-i-c>

I am trying to create an alphanumerical (alpha before numeric - but I'll ask about that later!) index of part numbers and figure/index numbers. The structure of the parts data uses nested elements that look something like this:DTD structure index results<pl0> <figno><figindex><partno>... <figno> saved, but <figindex> and <partno> are lost <pl1><figindex><partno>... </pl1> everything saves OK <pl1><figindex><partno>... <figindex> and <partno> are lost <pl2> <figindex><partno>...</pl2> everything saves OK <pl1><figindex><partno>... </pl1> everything saves OK </pl0>The num-index.app savetext is at each <pl0>, <pl1>, etc. element.<savetext textid="num-index.app" conrule="<ixpt">,partno.txt,</ixpt>,<ixsub1>,figindex.txt,</ixsub1>,<ixpgstr>,pagenum,</ixpgstr>" placemnt="after" append="1"&gt

Hi all,I'm faced with an issue concerning our Arbortext Editor extension which is written in Java and uses JavaFX 2 for its UI.My issue is that I need to have jfxrt.jar in the classpath in order for this to work.Since this jar is part of the runtime since at least Java 1.7 I thought I needed to do nothing to work with the classes defined in this jar, but AE is not seeing them. When I manually add the jar to the classpath usingAPTCLASSPATH=D:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\bin\x86\jre\lib\jfxrt.jarThen I can use them.Is this expected behaviour ?If so is there a way to add it programmatically ?I would need to retrieve the Installation path of Arbortext Editor in ACL in order to be able to do this.I tried "set classpath" and "append_java_classpath", but both did not work.Any ideas ?René

Anybody have any sugesstions on how to make the default list_response box bigger/wider?Thanks in advance!

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone.I am attempting to use the metadatarule element, as explained in the topic "Using One-Way Metadata" in the Arbortext Content Management Guide, to put the content of the navtitle element into a Windchill table field. I tried several attributes which, I believe, apply to the Dynamic Document type. For example, my XML might look like this: <metadatarule elementname="map"expr="string(/map/topicmeta/navtitle)"metadata="description" sourcetype="text"/>No matter which attribute I try to use (I've tried using both the name and the internal name of the attribute), I get a burst log error like this:Begin Save As Object for document Document1Cannot modify the following attributes:"description" because they are not definedSave As Object failed, code -199.I would prefer to solve this problem than to use my work-around, which is to append the navtitle content to the data I'm already putting in the Name attribute. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.Mike Moor

I have been working on my PRF files to get IsoDraw environment the way I want. I have noticed that in the PRF file there isn't a portion of the file for setting drawing sizes. Is there a way I can add to the list drawing sizes under EDIT--->Preference--->Drawing--->Format?I am using IsoDraw 7.3 Datecode M031 build 1Thanks,Keith HowardNorthrop Grumman

I have a topic where I would like the image landscaped. We have modified the style sheet to give us this capability by setting outputclass to landscape. I functions and turns the table with the image in it landscape. The issue is that it does not keep it on the same page as the title. Is there an easy way to make this work? See attached files. I can rotate the image in IsoDraw and have the table at the bottom of the image. I think it would look better rotated.ThanksBryon

My team recently moved from Arbortext 5.4 to 6.1 M040. With the previous, version we could double-click an image and the image opened in our image editor. Now, double-clicking throws this error:[A60329] Unable to open document: file:///C:/dita/source/web/task/..\image\image1.pngFor context, our file structure keeps the DITA topic types and images in separate folders: web concept image reference task topicIt's as if Arbortext is trying to resolve the image but is appending an absolute path to the topic folder (i.e., task). We must use relative paths in our content so our build servers can create the documentation.Any suggestions or help are welcome!

Anyone else have this problem and find a solution?
