Is it possible to ask Editor to move the cursor to a specific line numberof the underlying file?-- Paul Nagai

I have a document that is opened as read only. I want to change a character entity to display something differently than what is declared. I set rochange=true to be able to change the document, and then try the modify_text_entity command but it comes back with an error sayinig that the document is read only even though I am able to edit the document. This used to work in 4.3, but seems to be broken in 5.3. Anyone have any suggestions on getting around this limitation. Thanks.

Has anyone encountered this error message? We are running Arbortext Editor 6.0. which is integrated with Windchill 10.1. User is trying to check in an xml document.

Hi all,We have set an application to edit and publish online educational contents. The editors create the content in XML with Arbortext 6.0 and then through some XSL and XSL-FO it gets online.It happens that some of the online students use tablets to read the contents, so we have to be very careful as to which characters are used in the documents, since some tablets don't have the fonts to display them. Notwithstandig, some fonts are needed even though they are not presents in all tablets, so we have created some webfonts for, let's say, some mathematical characters like the R for real numbers, or the square root. The editors write the UTF-8 character in the XML document, and then, through the XSL we apply to them a webfont.The problem is that we cannot create the total arrary of UTF-8 in webfonts. We use just around 40. So whenever an editor uses a new character not part of the 40, it doesn't display in some tablets.So far if we set the XML to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, it has no im

Hello,In version 5.3, I could set the stylesheet via the "set stylesheet="C:\fosi1.fos" command and then run "preview allpasses force" to print preview which provided me with a print preview using the chosen stylesheet with no interruption. This worked fine.In 6.0, (M060), however, running the same commands, it now interrupts requesting I manually select the stylesheet via the Preview dialogue after running "preview". (even though I had set it)Has this been resolved in a later patch ?ThanksAndy

There are days I just hate working in markup. The past couple of them are tobe included. First testing some changes (migrating a DTD to schema) and spent hoursgetting little things fixed. Now all my graphics have stopped displaying. Just BOOM there one day, gonethe next. I've gone through and verified the ENTITES are still there, tested the filewith the DTD rather than the schema and still no graphics.Other things I've checked are to ensure the 'promptgraphicsbrowser' is seton (a common problem in the past and the default is set to 'on' so itdoesn't even appear in the Epic config file), verified paths, opened thegraphics in an external viewer. Made sure the graphics toggle is set to viewgraphics (but when they don't even show up in print preview that isn't theissue). I have tested this on three different machines using Epic 5.4 and/or Epic6.0. This is the only DOCTYPE that is giving me this problem. So it has tobe something in the way this is called. I DO NOT use the Epic 'custom' fold

Clay, Thanks. I'd never had the PDF open before. With everything else happeningwith this file, I figured it was my 'inverse Midas touch' working full bore.😄Lynn

I have Epic open and also the help center as I try to figure out the why ofmy missing graphics. Like I said last week I believe it has to do with thenotation declarations. So I searched the help center for 'notation' and get over 500 'hits'. Mostof the hits will open the desired 'help topic' in the right pane of the helpcenter. However, some are opening the PDF for the ACL Reference guide. Some examplesare 'notation_exists' and 'notation_source'. I am wondering if it is me, or if it is something in the search function ofthe help center. It is especially confusing because when I go to the ACLreference in the help center and locate any of the functions there, it opensthe desired help window. Steps to duplicate (hopefully a Can Not Duplicate [CND])1. Open Help Center2. Type Notation in the search window3. Find either of the two functions listed above.4. Click and let me know. 😄Thanks. Lynn

Hi everyone,We want to use Arbortext Editor 6.0 with Arbortext CSDBWe install Arbortext Authoring Interface for Arbortext Editor. In Arbortext Editor, we can see CSDB menu in toolbar (Connect to SCDB.jpg) When we click to login in CSDB menu, we gets another error (Error.jpg) ERROR: [A30165] com_call: invalid or undefined interface ID 0 (at line 235 of file "C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\application\com.ptc.lbs.authorit\init\AuthorIT.ACL") Function traceback at time of error: #1 AcquredAuthor::Login() at "C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\application\com.ptc.lbs.authorit\init\AuthorIT.ACL":235In row 235, you can find: loggedin = com_call(AcquiredAuthorHandle, "Login")Is there anyone facing same issue before and/or have any opinion about solution?Best regards,Artem Baketov

Dan, I am not sure how other Arbortext users feel on the topic. But as amulti-time speaker at the now defunct Arbortext Users Groups. I for one amupset at the SPECIFIC and POINTED omission of Arbortext as a PTC product. If PTC is going to be so focused on ignoring Arbortext. Please do me afavor. REMOVE ME FROM Y OUR LISTS other than Adepters. If you are going to ignore me , don't slap me in the face when you do. Asyou can see I have no qualms about airing my issues PUBLICALLY. Lynn

Hi All,I am new to Windchill. I have installed and setup a library manager on my local machine. I have been able to add the bursting spec to my library in a 'system' folder via Arbortext. But when I tried saving an XML document as a server object I am getting the following error : Unable to create missing folder /Libraries/Legislation - South Africa - National/Acts and Regulations/C/CHILD JUSTICE ACT NO. 75 OF 2008/Sections while creating new object for 75 of 2008 s 1.Has anyone else come across an issues similar to this?Thank youAshona.KrithallalSoftware DeveloperLexisNexis South Africa215 North Ridge RoadMorning SideDurban, 4001ashona.krithallal@lexisnexis.co.za<">mailto:ashona.krithallal@lexisnexis.co.za>+27 (0) 31 268 3172+27 (0) 83 777 0773

Hi,We have recently upgraded Arbortext to version 5.4 and cannot get linking from map files to a Trisoft repository and highlighting text in topics to work.Anyone who knows where to set that?BrJörgen

I am tring to profile a procgroup. My current setup does not let me do this. I have contacted PTC support and they said that I need to add the ability to profile to a procgroup. When I click on the the profiles window and add a profile it says could not apply profile since the affected element does not support a "product" attribute. How do I correct this? Where do I need to look? Is it in stlyer or is that a setting that I need to modify in one of the .pcf files.Thanks

Hi All,This is my markup:<sim></sim>I am only interested in capturing the text "some text here", ie all text that comes before any of the children of <sim>I think <titlepg> is always the first child so I can have it stop thereCan this be done in XPATH?

I see the m020 has been released, I don't see any Reference Document within the zip or online telling what has changed. Usually the documentation shows what the update has changed.TReeves

I have to move the licence server already installed on a Windows server, to another host in a different network zone. I've requested and obtained a new licence file (with the host address of the new server) from PTC support.The thing is, this new server can't access to the Internet from its network zone.My question is, does the licence server deamon require an Internet access to work?Thanks for your help

Fellow Forum Members,I have recorded several Macros. However, I'm not sure how to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to each macro so that they are functional everytime upon Arbortext v5.4 startup. From what I have researched it requires entering special code in the Command Line. I would be very appreciative if someone can post the steps that will show me how to assign keyboard shortcuts to my macros. Please don't post a link to some other site. It's more convenient to have the answer posted in this thread. THank you.

I never thought I'd say this, but I am beginning to be glad that my activework years are getting close to coming to an end. Though I have not been as active in the Adepters group as I once was, Istill use Epic and enjoy reading the posts. I still even retain enoughknowledge to occasionally provide an answer. Other than a 'cash cow' I wonder what else PTC got out of their acquisitionof Arbortext. It is a shame that successful small business cannot compete inthe mega-corporation world, though Arbortext seems to have done a good job. I have a cute cartoon I found somewhere on the web a few years ago that I'dlove to post for PTC management, but I'll refrain as I don't want to offendanyone. I guess PTC stands for "Pretends To Care".
