Is it possible to create a batch file in Arbortext 6.0 that would open each sgml file in a directory and save as an xml file?

With the feature in Isodraw 7.3 of being able to link a hotspot with data in an XML file I have been asked a question. The user wants to know "Is there a specific schema the XML must adhere to?" .Since I work on the graphics and not the SGML I do not know the answer so I am hoping someone here can answer this so I can pass it on.Thanks for your help,Keith

So... Anyone have an idea what happened to the Find menu in 6.1? The option that used to be in the menu "Find Tag/Attribute... " seems to have disappeared from the available options. Clearly one of the most useful tools in Epic 4.3.Greg

I'm using Arbortext 6.0 M020.When I cut and paste from an external document (MS-word), which I do often, a window pops up telling me: "agettext:Msgid not found in message file: CopyPaste failed to convert clipboard"It then allows me to clear or close the window. I'm not really expecting (or caring) that it is not bringing the word formatting over so this window popping up is getting really irritating. Is there a way to turn this message off?Never had this problem using version 5.3.

Dell - Internal Use - ConfidentialHi,I am working in DITA +ARBORTEXT in client/server environment. When I connect arbortext with server all doctypes,DCF,ACL,FOSI files are downloading to local folder.My question is when I update a DTD, is it necessary to update DCF,ACL,FOSI file to effect the changes in Arbortext Editor? Or it will update automatically?Thanks,Roopesh NavathSoftware Dev Assoc EngineerDell | PG - Information Development, India (BDC)

Hi!I've searched for hours now, but I don't find a way to format the display of page numbers after each chapter in the tabe of contents. I'm pretty sure this is possible, but if I try to add user defined formats in the table of contents, I only can change the number of the chapter and the text title. Can anybody give me a hint?Thanks and regards!

Hi all,The ACL menu_delete command works well when the menu name's just one word, like "Find". But when it has more than one word ("Find Expressions, for example"), it doesn't work.I've tried these:menu_delete .Edit."Find Expressions"menu_delete .Edit."Find &Expressions"menu_delete .Edit. "Find &Expressions"menu_delete .Edit. "FindExpressions"

When in 3D all components are separate, when you convert to 2d it becomes one image? I can ungroup untill they are free, but I loose the conection to the cad model. Can I convert to 2D and still have the components as individual components?Bryon

Ok gang I could have sworn I had these two (2) macros working before, but I am having no joy now.The macros intention is to determine the size of a graphic and then display that information. This is used so I can get "CGM" graphic sizes to pass on to our "SGML" programmers.Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to use this as a starting point to develop a macro to scale a graphic up or down to fit to a particular page size.I am using IsoDraw 7.3 F000Keith

Does anyone know how to change the tag display size in Arbortext Editor? A teammate has somehow made her tag display size very large and is not sure how to set it back to normal size?Thanks for your help!

Is it possible for a macro written in 7.2 to work in 7.1? I have written macros in 7.2 but I am now working on a system with 7.1(don't ask long story). some of the simple macros will run but on some of the more involved macros I get errors and the macro stops. Here is one of the errors I am receiving;Any help would be appreciated. I think this is a compatibility issue and I am going have to work to get back to at least 7.2 if not 7.3.Thanks,Keith

Arbortext APP V11 M060 released is now available to Customers. See these release notes and others @ http://www.tformat.com/app-v11-m060-release-notes/

I have a simple question for the group before I report a possible bug in6.1.I was 'publishing' a large file using the print composer in Epic Editor('Publish>PDF File'). The file has fifty or so graphics that are EPS files,NONE of them are displaying. When I do the same thing with Epic 6.0 the EPSfiles are now processed and display properly in the PDF output. I also have had an issue with GIF display and processing with 6.1. I onlyhave one GIF but it goes on the cover page so its absence is noticed. InEpic Editor, the GIF does not display BUT there is space allocated for thegraphic (unlike when Epic cannot find a graphic and we just see an iconsaying file not allowed or not found). Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so what was the remedy. Ifno one has seen this, then I'll report it as a bug to PTC.Many thanks.Lynn

I'm sure this should be easy, but I don't know how to do it. I have a global string variable that's always a 2 digit number. I used it previously to build up a string filename. Now though, I use the same variables in a macro that has to do a calculation with it. Of course as a string it won't calculate.I don't want to change my old macros that use the variable as a string, so is there a function to change it to a float temporarily for the calculation?In my old ME10 macro language you could just do this:calc_var = ((val date_var) + 1)date_var is a string variable, but the "val" command read it as an number for the pruposes of the calculation whilst leaving the variable as a string.Anyone know?

Ed, I have tried Print Preview and the graphics are not displayed there either. I'll do some more troubleshooting, but right now I am running things with6.0 and things are working fine. Thanks compadre. Lynn

I am just wondering what experience others have had with respect to the default Arbortext file associations.Background: In our environment we have 1 styler license and many editor licenses.For some reason, when you install Arbortext with Styler, and then double-click to open a .xml file, Arbortext defaults to opening with styler enabled.This means that we have to either:Train users to open Arbortext first then open the fileInstall Arbortext without styler for most users - but that has caused some issues with RTF production and some MathFlow integration as the menus are differentOr some type of registry hack to force the association to open editor without styler. (obvuiously this is not popular in an environment where there are over 70 clients in use.What do others do to cope with this? or Is there something simple I am missing when installing Arbortext where we can configure the mode in which it launches?Thanks,Rob.

I have what is probably a simple question that has me stumped. I am working on a macro that resizes my drawing size and then resizes the elements to fit in the new drawing. I then want to export the file out to a CGM file. I do not want to add the filename manually, I want to be able to put the ActiveDoc.name in the command "EXPORT". What I need help with is how do I have the "Path" portion of the EXPORT command use the ActiveDoc.name in the path?Thanks for any help,Keith

Arbortext Community,I am having an issue with isoview on a specific computer. The aircraft maintenance manuals we use use arbortext isoview to display the wiring diagrams. on this one computer, the wiring diagrams on the print outs are fuzz/illegible. It's only on this one computer, and it doesn't matter to which printer I print to. I've uninstalled and reinstalled our copy of isoview as well, but to no avail. Is there anything else that might help?Thanks,Travis

When opening Arbortext Editor 5.3 M020, this message appears:Dialog title: Invalid Schema/DTD file. Dialog text: [A15001] Unable to load document type due to errors parsing XML schema: + file path of the schema file (xliff.xsd). Choose: 1) Browse for Schema/DTD; 2) Open in free-form mode without Schema/DTD; 3) Open as text If option 1 is chosen, the same message is shown again and again even after having browsed for the xliff.xsd file.If option 2 is chosen, Arbortext Editor opens, but some functionalities don’t work: preferences window doesn’t show, it’s impossible to insert tables or notes, and so on. Oddly, documents are normally validated.In arbortext.wcf file the Entities and Doctypes repositories are well addressed. It seems Arbortext Editor sees DTDs, so I don’t understand why the error message appears and why some functions don’t work. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the program, without any results. Any idea?Sonia
