I'm debugging some of our tools, etc. in our switchover from Arbortext v5.3 for Unix to Arbortext v6.1 M010 for Windows. We have quite a few key mappings that I was hoping would not require any changes. The problem I'm encountering is that and any key combination of ALT plus a lowercase letter, e.g., ALT+c to insert a comment, does not work in the Windows version of Arbortext. If I key ALT+c Arbortext just beeps at me and does nothing. ALT plus a non-alphanumeric key, e.g., ALT+-, works just fine. Any thoughts on what could be causing this problem?Rick

Ed, This was an upgrade so the installer may have gone out and used the'install' information from the previous install. I know when I do a new version (e.g., 6 to 6.1) I can select what toinstall. I did not get that option with the M020 patch. LSo it could easily be that when I installed 6.1 I did not realize I wouldalso be getting Creo so I didn't select not to install it. Lynn

Is it possible to set up a FO stylesheet to accommadate separate pages on a 8 1/2 x 17 sheet with dual columns, single columns and seaparate headers and footers with page numbers?

I just downloaded and installed Epic 6.1 M020. One of the items 'installed'is Creo View Express 3.0. I was not given an choice to NOT install it. Has anyone found a way to keep from installing this POS? Lynn

Hi developers,I want to insert some tags with in other tags by default in Arbortext Editor. Ex: when I insert Table tag , title should insert by default without changing optional to required in DTD. Is it possible with DCF files or FOSI files?Regards,Roopesh Navath

I have attached PDF from my book about using a string variable as a bitmap. It is similar to using a counter as a bitmap, but it works for a different DTD situation (a sequence of three elements, each of which is optional). I came up with this for some quick-and-dirty proof-of-concept code that was never completed. This approach seemed to be the easiest way to handle all the possibilities.Please let me know any comments, questions, corrections, etc.Thanks!Suzanne

Thursday, May 29, 2014 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM PDTOne of the last things that gets localized is your stylesheet. Stylesheets have generated text and that generated text needs to be translated too. (After all it isn't "Table of Contents" in Japanese.) In this session, we'll show you how to set your stylesheet up for localization. We'll do a quick export of the generated text strings and then an import of the 'translated' strings. And we'll publish our translated document! Sound fun? It's super easy to do and 30 minutes is all you need to understand how it works.Register here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/871957858

Hi All,I have created a process where an editor using Arboertext without styler can do an html export from the xml document they are working on.I basically export a xsl - html file from styler. And they click on a button to run that xsl against the xml.If the xml has equations it does not show the equations in the html instead it shows the xml.Attached is a snippet of the equation in the html.If I publish to HTML from Styler the equations show as is in Arbortext.How do I get the Equation to show using the xsl ?ThanksAshona Krithallal

Hi,I need to work on arbortext editor customization( styler file,ACL,FOSI and DCF files).Anybody can send me some softcopy/url-links of arbortext study material.Regards,Roopesh Navath

I have several titles within one tag that need to be floated (Continued). Each title is getting appended to the float which I guess is correct, but I only want the current title floated. Is there a way to reset a float? I can't figure out how to narrow the scope. If I scope to <syshd> the float doesn't work. If I scope to any of the other tags they all get included. I thought Paul may have had something similar but I couldn't find the post.<conditioninsp><syshd>title</syshd><inspection>(these are variable, sometimes only one, sometimes several)<condition></condition><req></req></inspection><inspection><condition></condition><req></req></inspection><syshd>title</syshd><inspection><condition></condition><req></req></inspection><syshd>title</syshd><inspection><condition></condition><req></req></inspecti

Hi all,I have Isodraw 7.3 but the client needs the files as 7.2, so there is a solution to check the files (if they are saved as IsoDraw 7.2) before I send them to the client?

We have a page of decals that need to be resized. Seems that if you place an image and if you scale it it continually degrades the image. Is there a way around this?Bryon

My authors want to be able to modify the repeating table headers within atable. For example, there might be a header that included "System, DateDeployed, Date Support Ends" at the top of the table and at the top of thesubsequent pages if the table continues.Standard table header float stuff so far.Now, there might be a section within the table that talks about those threecolumns of data for County X. And that should be part of the table headerfloat that continues. However, when in the middle of the table, it changesto Country Y (and Country Z and so on), they want the "second" row of thetable header float to update with Country Y and drop Country X.For example:Top of table:System Date Deployed Date Support Ends Country X (spans all three columns)On page two you would get:System Date Deployed Date Support Ends Country X (continued ...)Somewhere on page two of the table, this row occurs and replaces theCountry X row in the float: Country YNow, page three of the table starts:System Date D

Greetings, Due to XP end of support, we're migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 (64 bit). However, while trying to configure our new license server machine, the PTC License Server installer contained in our Isodraw 7.2 M20 package fails to start. We have another machine with a node-locked license, and Isodraw 7.2 runs fine under Windows 7. It's just the License server installer which won't work.Does anyone know if there are any compatibility issues with Windows 7 or whether if a newer release is needed?Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if the XML from DITA OT and Resolved Map from Arbortext Editor -> "Edit Resolved Document" -> "Style" are the same?Do they have the same structure?Thank you for your help in advance. Kind regards,Tomomi P.S. I am sorry if the UI names above are not correct in English. Mine is in Japanese.

I'm testing for presence of any content in a tag and I'm wondering which is the least expensive, or if there is a better way (I'm using #2)1. <specval attname="_styleexportfosi::sysfunc_content_test('','#any','atAnyLevel','includes')"<br"/>attloc="system-func" attval="1"/>2. <specval attname="self::*[normalize-space(.)!="]" attloc="#xpath" attval="1"/">3. <savetext textid="isEmpty.txt" conrule="#CONTENT"/"><specval attname="isEmpty.txt" attloc="#FOSI" attval="#ANY"/>Thanks!

Hiya,We are using Documentum/Webtop. 90%+ of our authors are Webtop-only users.There are a very small number of users who regularly manage assemblies(adding references to articles, moving articles within the assembly, etc.)with Arbortext's Documentum/WDK Adapter.The compatibility nightmare of Arbortext vs. Webtop vs. Internet Exploreris challenging.We do know how to manage assemblies using a text editor (check somethingout without descendants and copy/paste the entities and Documentum objectID references, etc. into a different checked out file), but we have balkedat asking users to do so since it is much more "programmery" than the WDK's"intuitive" GUI point-click-drag-paste.Are there other non-WDK strategies that might be more friendly to lesstechy authors that you all are using?-- Paul Nagai

Hello all,I have an error with Arbortext Editor as follows. My assumption is that it could be sorted out by using Proxy server with GET method. Is it correct? ■ Error The public Schemas/DTDs on Web can not be loaded in the environment with Proxy server■ Environment Software：Arbortext Editor 6.0 Proxy Port used：15080 Others：All correspondances without used Proxy is disconnected from the Internet by FireWall■ Details I checked "http communication" and turned out that HEAD method to confirm the external schemas/DTDs is taken to #15080 port, though the GET method to actually obtain them is taken to #80 port.Thank you very much.Kind regards,Tomomi

(Circles, squares, lines, arrows, shading, etc., NOT violent or "adult"NC17 materials, silly! 😉Has anyone developed (or come across) training materials that graphicallydescribe / depict the interaction between profiling and content reuse?We've got a document that has four chapters that have a different <chapter>for each "version" of the book and four other <chapter>s that arereferenced from both books. New content in chapters 1 - 4 that needs to bein both books must be referenced into each chapter wrapper. New content inchapters 5 - 8 that needs to be in only one book must be referenced intothe chapter and then profiled properly to suppress it from the book thatdoesn't need it.Basic stuff ... toArbortext-profiling-exclusionary-conditional-logic-friendly people. Notbasic to others. We have pretty good documentation for people who canlearn/grok this stuff from words. But wondering if we'd simplify trainingand reduce later support (break/fix troubleshooting) if we were able t

Hello!I hope you can help me out because I'm out of solution.We are currently using Arbortext Editor and we have a problem when we try to publish manuals to our WindChill server. It gives us a C++ Runtime Error.===========================================================Runtime Error!Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext Editor\bin\editor.exeThis application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.Please contact the application's support team for more information.===========================================================We already had this problem and we repaired it by installing an old version of firefox with an old version of Java.Now it's working very good.But we did the same solution to the other guy and he still has the issue. We uninstalled / reinstalled, we repaired C++, we searched for any difference between his PC and the PC of the guy whose it's working. The problem isn't at the server side.The error doesn't appear in the eventvwr...BUT java left u

Is there anyone out there that is using the Arbortext suite for S1000D development? I need some resources on how to setup a project and create the SNS within the environment. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Jamie

I am trying to start a project in our new setup of Arbortext S1000D CSDB. I have the project created and have a starting SNS. I am ready to load my DMRL from my excel spreadsheet but I dont see where I can load one in that way on the CSDB. Does Arbortext S1000D not have a way to load a comma delimited file or excel spreadsheet with a list of template data modules? If so, how is that done and is there other resource material that I can get that would help me with this process. We are trying to get started on this project asap and it seems I am hitting these barriers due to lack of resource material on how to create this.Thank you,Jamie Starling
