Has anyone received this message? If so, how do I resolve it? We are using AE 6.0 with Windchill 10.1 M040. A user opened her AE this morning and received the message above. The error message says to clear the cache in order to connect to Windchill. She has done this but is still unable to work. She cleaned her workspace as well. Do I need to go into the actual cache folder and remove the files? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

While attempting to start ISODraw, an error is generated, "License request failed for feature ISODraw". This error occurs when the PC is not connected to any network. Once connected to a network, ISODraw successfully starts. The license that is used is a node lock license. Is there any method to have ISODraw start when not connected to a network? Connectivity is an issue when at sea for the Navy. Any help would be appreciated.

When i save my document as XML, the application fails with an assertion failed:key .... type message. Any ideas why. It's just on this document.

Well I have decided (barring unforeseen circumstances) to retire the end ofJune from full time work. I think 46 years is sufficient. 😄I'll put this out now though, if anyone needs some support in Epic or theArmy's use of MIL-STD-40051 or 3031, I would be open to some part time work.I've worked with Adept/Epic since 1991 and with Army TMSS since 2000(primary editor on 40051 for seven of those years). I wrote the DTD useduntil 2012 (when the ASRL shut down, still not reopened though last rumor[from yesterday] says end of this month, but no idea WHAT will be on it). Iknow the problems LOGSA has now built into their TMSS documents that makecontracting really difficult. I'll miss some of the challenges, but I'm really ready to settle back andplay with my hobby, photography. Lynn

Hello all,I have been looking for how to create and use macros with ACL fuctions in Arbortext Help centre but it seems it doesn't have much information about it.I have found the description of each ACL function in "Arbortext Command Language Reference", however, it didin't really say where and how to create .mcf files and where to use it.Can you please suggest me where to find the information? or give me instruction for how to create and use macros with ACL?Kind regards,Tomomi

Long story short - no one here has used Arbortext for a while. Our server was moved. We reinstalled on two compters. When someone opens a previously created file (6.0 M090) we get: [A15014] Unable to resolve the document type referenced by the public identifier "-//USA-DOD//DTD38784STD-BV7//EN" in the catalog path.We have two computers that did not need to be reinstalled. All is well on them. That tells me there is something on those two computers that the newly reinstalled computers are not seeing. How do I find what it is, where it is and where to find it? I copied all the doctypes from the working computers to the non-working (I think I got them all - at least all the ones listed on the error message).Did I mention I am very (very) new to Arbortext? But not totally computer illiterate. Please help me get out of this deadlock.Thank you,D

We have a user that is trying to generate a print preview using APE (and AE 6.0M060) but is getting no preview window.She receives the message below the command line that it is publishing and eventually gets the 'Preview processing complete' message, yet no print preview window pops up.All her environment variables are good, preferences are good, everything appears normal.Is there a Windows setting that could be blocking it from appearing? Ideas?Thanks all.Ashley

I recently submitted my Arbortext Editor file to our stylesheet guru (as I don't have the software to run the stylesheet.) He's made some changes, but now when I open the file, I am getting several error messages stating "unknown element in start tag". This is for over 30 elements that should be standard (docwp, wpno, alist ...etc.) How do I resolve? Sorry if this is a basic question - very new to this software. Thanks!

Hello Experts!!

Hi,I am trying to modify a fosi to support an acronym tag reference.I have one element <acronym> with two child elements <acroterm> and <acrodef>. <acrodef> takes an id attribute. <acroterm> takes an attribute refid of type IDREF. This tagging is used where the acronym is first defined.Subsequently, if <acroterm> is used alone in any other element, such as <para> element, it is supposed to generate the original <acroterm>'s (content) and create a link reference back to its definition sibling where its refid equals the definition element's id. Is there a way to accomplish this using FOSI?Any suggestions?

We're using Arbortext Editor v6.1 M010.I've had several users report this behavior to me, but I have not been able to duplicate it myself.If they are editing a file for which they need to track changes and use the Arbortext keymapping Control+Shift+E to toggle TrackChanges on and off, every other time they key Control+Shift+E the Preferences dialog window opens. I have searched in vain for any mention of a keymapping which opens the Preferences window and can find none.Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Any suggestions on how to fix it?Regards,Rick

6.0 m090.Hi. I have a CALS/OASIS table consisting of three almost-page-length rows(two columns wide). In each of my two Styler environments, the tabledoesn't break. It overruns the page. In at least one of my FOSIenvironments, it breaks as expected, producing a three-page, continuedtable.I have Edited Source on all of the table components of the Stylerstylesheets (not to change them, just to SEE the FOSI coding) but I can'tsee anything that suggests a difference in breaking rows. Keeps, forexample, are all Derive/Derive/No/No/No on tgroup, tbody, row.Any thoughts about how Styler might think about tables differently?deepcontentsplitting is off for us, but turning it on doesn't change thisbehavior.If I insert an empty 0.01mm high row between each of the real rows, thenthe table appears to break as expected which is to say it looks right inthe PDF (viewed onscreen). I don't know if the blank rows are ending orleading the pages.-- Paul Nagai

Dear all,We konw that the dpi basically is used to calculate the print size of a given image. When we change the image resolution ratio, for example, from 96dpi to 200dpi, when I pubish the PDF document, the size of the image are different. The 200dpi's is larger.Then I have some questions: 1. When I publish the PDF, did the the image resolution ratio change? If changed, how much has changed? I'm not sure if some problem in my understanding of basic concepts.But I print the PDF and office word document for the image, I think the image in word document is clearer.2.When I change the image attribute width or scale, the size of the image will change also. Did the the image resolution ratio change? Can I control the dpi by these attribute, how?3.The custom want the image resolution ratio in PDF is 200dpi, and also want a width 70mm, is this possible? How can I achieve it? I don't h4. By the way, this is for PDF, how about for RTF, Web, or html? Could you give me any tips please? Your assis

Dear all,I meet a confusing problem. When I using the Arbortext default DTD, such as topic, concept, we can paste table in office word to the xml, and it can generate the <table> automatically.But I customized some DTD, and create the topic, when I paste table in office word, not only table, also text, the Arbortext Editor will promet "agettext: Msgid not found in message file: CopyPaste failed to convert clipboard". Every time paste...After I changed the pastesource preference to mif;rtf;txt (delete the htm), it didn't promet "agettext: Msgid not found in message file: CopyPaste failed to convert clipboard" again, but still I can't paste table in office word to xml. it will generate the <p>.Did I lost some setting, or steps, or some check for the DTD? Could you give me any tips please? Thanks!
