I found another problem, new day new problem right... 😉 I noticed that in the AAD S1000D PDF output (Editor 5.3, CSDB 4.3 M060)the dmRef outputs a data module code and there is a missing spacebetween the end of the DMC and the <techname> and also between the<techname> and infoName, so you get something like"STUF-A-34-52-01-00A-300A-DWidget Part No. 007Examination tests andchecks" when it should be "STUF-A-34-52-01-00A-300A-D Widget Part No.007 Examination tests and checks ".

In a drawing sheet, I have different views from different Reps for the same assembly. Also I have a BOM Table for the Master Rep. How can I put same BOM Baloon number for the same part in different views in a same sheet?I can do crating BOM table for each view and corresponding Baloon for that part. So in different views, same parts have different BOM number for that Reps BOM table. Which is not proper way to do... so please suggest... in the image above you can see different views with different Reps for the same assembly....

How do you load a font for styler to use?Bryon

I found another problem, there was no xsl:template match for<superscript> or <subscript> so I wasn't getting the correct formattingin my PDF output. So I added some statements at the very end offoPara.xsl right before the last </xsl:stylesheet> to fix this:

Ok, I'm using v5.3 of the editor with CSDB and I've created some S1000DPDF output using the "Publisher" and I've noticed that the tables asoutput completely ignore the column settings. Instead of getting columnsof variable width I get columns of equal width. In the output thecolumns are equally divided between 38 pi, which is total chaos. I havecontent running across cell borders etc.I have clearly set the columns as follows:<table colsep="1" frame="all" rowsep="1"><title>Something</title><tgroup cols="7" tgstyle="1"><colspec<br/>colwidth="2.00pi"/><colspec colwidth="7.50pi"/"><colspec colwidth="3.00pi"/"><colspec<br/>colwidth="2.00pi"/><colspec colwidth="10.00pi"/"><colspec colwidth="7.00pi"/"><colspec<br/>colwidth="3.00pi"/>I suspect this is a problem with the Publisher; it doesn't create Issue4 compliant covers either. Does anyone know if there is an attributewhich can be set in the XML to force the

We are about to transition our Editor/PE Server combo from version 5.4 to 6.1. Obviously nobody else will have our exact customizations, but has anyone who has done this version transition had any big issues or known problems with stylesheets or acl files not working any more? For starters, it appears there is no upgrade file to run, I just need to uninstall 5.4 and do a fresh install of 6.1, is that correct? Thanks for any help or opinions that people might share!

Hi,I am having a weird problem, as described below, while issuing some data module.1) I was able to issue some data module and not be able to issue on a majority of the DMs within a publication module2) No error message or error log is displayed after I selected Set Verification to ISSUE. The Issue number didn't roll up and the status didn't update to ISSUED. There was no indication of failure after I performed the operation. I'm drawing blank right now and really need help to get my work going. I'm really appreciated if you could guide me to a direction where I can troubleshoot this problem.Thanks

Refer to CASE 11850699.We have a software security vulnerability with JAVA. We are running 6.0 M080. Since we cannot use the environment variable JAVA_HOME to redirect Arbortext to use the current version of JAVA, we will have to upgrade.Is there a way to update the HELP feature to use the current version of JAVA? Can the software be modified in the future to use the JAVA_HOME to use the latest version of JAVA?

Hi everybody!I've one more doubt... I put in my document a 'change bar', but I can't change it's height. Actually, I've to decrease the height of the change bar, because there's a little space above the modified text. Someone can help me?

I am a new user of 38784. How do I get more than an 8.5X11 area of a schematic (foldout pages) to appear correctly?

Hi everybody!Anyone knows how to modify the font size of the element using any its attribute?Example:In my DTD, I've this element:<!ELEMENT para EMPTY> <!ATTLIST para font-size NUMBER #IMPLIED >How to use this attribute 'font-size' to set the font size?This appear a easy case, but I haven't seen this function in Arbortext.

Liz, I think Kathleen has a point. Is there another place to sign up other thanFacebook? Lynn

Dear Arbortext users,I constructed a form in the arbortext editor and I need to do a validation in a field. The only one caractere the user may type is "X" or leave empty. How can I do this validation?

Ok, I'm using 5.3 and I've created some S1000D PDF output and I've noticed that the tables ignore the column settings. Instead of getting columns of variable width I get columns of equal width. I have clearly set the columns as follows<table colsep="1" frame="all" rowsep="1"><title>Something</title><tgroup cols="7" tgstyle="1"><colspeccolwidth="2.00pi"/><colspec colwidth="7.50pi"/><colspec colwidth="3.00pi"/><colspeccolwidth="2.00pi"/><colspec colwidth="10.00pi"/><colspec colwidth="7.00pi"/><colspeccolwidth="3.00pi"/>However in the output the columns are equally divided between 38 pi, which is chaos. I have content running across cell borders etc.How can I force the output to use the column widths I've entered?

Do you need to export this file for every iteration of stylesheet? We have four stylesheets that are basically identical except for the cover page. That the stylesheet publishes.ThanksBryon

Hi there,lately I've seen a tag in round brackets "pi MENTORPATH" for the first time. Does anyone know what it means?Thanks a lot for any help and enjoy the rest of the day!

I dreamed up some fancy FOSI footwork awhile back that seemed like it might be useful, but I have never had occasion to use it in a production FOSI. I am wondering if it is worth including in my book. It is detailed below. Whaddya think?Thanks!Suzanne Napoleonwww.FOSIexpert.com"WYSIWYG is last-century technology!"In the example below,the fancy FOSI footwork is not required --plain vanilla FOSI coding works fine, and the fancy footwork code is half again as long as the vanilla code. However, maybe the fancy FOSI footwork could be useful in certain complex situations that would be easier with a "case" approach.The fancy footwork code uses different increment values with the enumerat category to create unique bitmap index numbers that represent the presence of required and optional elements. The example is in SGML so the ampersand (&) connector can be utilized. The ampersand connector means all of the elements in the content model must occur, but they may occur in any order.In this pa

User has checked out a document from Windchill and opened it in Arbortext Editor 6. The user has made revisions and now wants to "save" the file. The user gets the following message:Cannot find path specifiedError: [A11972]She is also unable to check the file back into Windchill as the system doesn't recognize her changes.Could this have something to do with the user's cache folders or temp folders? If not, what are the other possibilities?

We are currently running Arbortext 5.4 and I am wondering if it is possible to stay there without to many problems when running PDMLink 10.2?Thanks in advance!Brian

Just received an email via LinkedIn from Tom Kenslea of PTC . The LinkedIn post contained a link to this PTC video about Arbortext. It's mostly propaganda, as you could guess. It seems to focus on Arbortext as one link in a chain of PTC-provided products to produce a myriad of products containing PTC goodness. I'm not sure if it says anything valuable to me about Arbortext as stand-alone authoring/publishing software, which is how we use it. Maybe some of you might find this interesting.

Ed, Unless the Air Force has changed the 38784 DTD since the hid it behind afirewall, what I see for the attribute 'pgwide' is it is used only on theelements <figtable> (not used in the Army) and <table>. In the Army DTD,this attribute has been removed. Caroline, If you have a new attribute added to your DTD this is the format you'llneed. pgwide (0 | 1) #IMPLIED This is the attribute name, a choice of '0' or '1' where the zero is notpage wide and the '1' is page wide. You will also need to add functionality to the stylesheet to read theattribute and make the appropriate formatting change(s) to the output. Lynn

Hi all,I'm working on a 5.4 stylesheet that has default two-column figures but some are page wide. The captions on the page wides are still using two-columns. Is there a way to detect if the figure is page wide without having to check for an attribute, which at this time isn't being used? I wanted to see if I could do this solely in the style sheet without having to ask production to add an attribute indicating a page wide graphic.Thanks!
