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>

Greetings;This is my first time here in the community, we working in academic publishing,I just want to know who could help us to decide if APP will help in the current workflow of our company or not ?Thanks in advance.

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?

Greeting Adepters,This post is asking for a little more detailed information about Editor's inner workings than we usually see here, but like the saying goes, "If you don't ask, you don't get."We have created an application which uses PTC Arbortext Editor for editing of XML documents. It initiates a document editing session and is notified of any save action by means of DocumentSaving event. We have Editor customizations that perform a set of data extraction and persistence operations that are executed as part of any document save request. The main application listens for the DocumentSaving event to refresh itself according to the current document state and the extracted data.We have run into a sequencing issue related to the invocation of DocumentSaving event and the execution of our Editor save customization. When a save request is made by the user, Arbortext Editor will immediately raise the DocumentSaving event. Our save customizations do not get executed until after the event hand

Hello everyone,I have been trying to figure out the existence of any cell merge/split feature in Epic. However, I do not see any such option available in the tool or in any of its supporting documentation. Can someone please guide on Epic's support for such feature (which I am guessing there should be, as Epic is believed to have all the MS Word abilities mapped into its environment).I have come across another forum thread which states the below navigation for spanning/unspanning table cells:TABLE--> SPAN CELLS (ALT + F11)TABLE--> UNSPAN CELLS (ALT + SHIFT+ F11)However, none of the above seem to be enabled on my editor. I do not see them appear in my table menu bar options either.Please guide whether it's possible to perform these operations on a table and if yes, how?Thanks in advance,Pooja
