Hello Experts!!Today I'm facing a problem with my ACL code, I've implemented a radioGroup in order to define a sort of options to the user, I did this implementation using XUI, but now what I'm needing is to get the value picked by the user. I though that using java this would be easy, but I just can't get the elements according to the radio group, so I decided to use javascript, however I'm still facing certain problems. Here's part of my code: <<xuiwindow.js>> var doc = e.target.ownerWindow.activeView.document; var xuiwin = Application.event.view.window; var grid = Application.event.target.parentNode; var nodelist = grid.getElementsByAttribute('checked','true', 1); if (nodelist.length > 0) { var label = nodelist.item(0).getAttribute('id'); Application.alert("Label: " + label); }As you can see I'm trying to pass the event which in my case is click one button, however I can not pass this value, in my acl code I have something like this:function walktroughXML(win, dlgitem

Hi Adepters:I've installed AE 6.0, 64-bit, M030, on my machine for the first time. It seemed to not play well with leaving AE 5.4 installed (in a different location, of course). So, I then uninstalled AE 5.4. After that, when I launch the editor I get an error window proclaiming: Warning: Could not find the application's symbol font. It will not be possible to display certain symbols and icons.So, yes, my nifty para icons are not displaying. I tried to do a repair install, but that didn't help. I checked in the AE 6.0 fonts folder and there are 4 symbol fonts, just as there are for AE 5.4. My Windows 7 fonts folder also has 2 symbol fonts. Or, is it just complaining about the para icons, wherever those live?Any ideas how I can get my symbol font back?Dave

Does anyone know how one would parse an XML Schema from the command line. Iknow how to do it with 'dtgen.exe' for a DTD, but if it will not work with aschema. Many thanksLynn

I have created a toolbar with a button using XUI dialog boxes. The button and the toolbar are displayed successfully but the command associated with the button doesn't work? Can you help me ?code fragments:function _init1(win = current_window()){ if (window_state(win) < 0) { response("Invalid window $win") return } local doc = window_doc(win) if (!doc_valid(doc)) { response("Invalid document") return } local dirPath=dirname(doc_path(doc)); dirPath=$dirPath . "dialogs\\toolbar_InsertRevisionTags.xml" dirPath=absolute_file_name($dirPath); append_dialogs_path(dirPath, 1); if (!dlgitem_exists(win, 'toolbar_InsertRevisionTags')) { window_load_component_file(win, 'toolbar_InsertRevisionTags.xml') } ret=dlgitem_add_callback(win ,'button_InsertRevisionTags', 'attach_callback');}#function 'attach_callback'function attach_callback(win, dlgitem, event, data, appdata) response("ok")}

Hello,I am importing STEP files into IsoDraw and getting random extra lines in areas that are actually smooth, flat surfaces. To clarify further, these are not the types of lines left over from cuts, corners or curvy shapes. They should not be there at all, and I have found no way to successfully delete them in 2D.The lines tend to fuse with ellipses. I tried deleting the points of the lines, but that distorts the ellipses that are fused with the lines. I find no "break curve apart" type function that would disconnect the unwanted lines from the ellipses.I am hoping there is something I can do to resolve this in 3D mode or upon import. The CAD experts I talked to at my company suspect it is a "format translation" issue with IsoDraw. I would like to avoid bringing the 2D graphics into another drawing program just to fix this because it might disrupt the metadata, and it's important that we keep that intact in our CGMs. Not to mention, this creates a bunch of extra work. The lines really

Hello again experts!!I'm trying to execute some math operations with ACL, specifically with float numbers, however I can not work with float type, I don't know why but I suppose is because I have to do a kind of conversion, please anybody can help me with this?!Thanks in advance.Best regards!!Paulette Zorrilla

Along with the other issues I am having with dockable dialogs, I am also having problems where a button on a dialog always gets activated every time the dialog gets focus. The XML looks like: <window modal="false" resize="none" orient="horizontal" pack="stretch" title="" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3c.org/2001/xml-events"> <imagegroup><image id="RFCLookup" path="c:\temp\sgml\adept\packages\RFC.gif"/"></imagegroup> <button id="RFC" image="RFCLookup"></button> <label label="Active" rfcs:"="/> <textbox id="RFCDescription'.doc." backgroundcolor="#E4E4E4" readonly="true" width="80"> </textbox> </window>I create a callback function for the button: dlgitem_add_callback(base::RFC_DLG_HANDLE[doc], 'RFC', 'infobar::rfc_btn_cb')The button gets activated every time the window gets focus. Just clicking on the title bar to try and move the window will cause the button to fire. Not sure what I am doing wrong to prevent this from happen

For some reason, when I open an XUI XML window, it doesn't always work. I have code that does the following:Create XML filelocal xuidoc = doc_open(xmlfile)xuiwin = window_create('xui', 0x10, xuidoc)The window_create will sometimes return -1 and not create the window. Do I need to set focus or something. Not sure what I am doing wrong. The XML file is one I create on the fly and save before I try and open it. It is a docked XML dialog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.BTW this is version 5.3 I am using.Thanks.John

We have a customized stylesheet. I am trying to find out where the generated text is coming from in the footer. I need to remove the word part#. How do I tell what tab I need to look at. Is it an element, property set..?Thanks

I'm sending UTF8 encoded strings across http to the PE server but they're getting mangled into unusable strings.For example: <!-- 中，您将学习如何使用 -->becomes a garbled string, either: <!-- 中 xEFxBC?XE6?XA8XE5XB0学习xE5xA6xBD?Xa* -->or<!-- ????????????? -->depending on how I write to code on the server.The internet/Java sites suggest a variety of fixes, none are working. Some suggest adding enctyle or <meta> to my html form:<form method="POST" action="http://132.253.204.201:8080/e3/servlet/e3" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"><meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />These don't help.Some suggest different combinations of ways to read the object at the server, like:new FileOutputStream("D:\\UTF8Output_2.txt"), "UTF-8");or BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(request_XML_filename),"UTF8"));orBufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(new Outpu

Could anyone give pointers on how to Right Align attribute content?My client in legal publishing is using manual numbering because there is no logic to their numbering e.g. (ii) may be followed by (v)The number is captured with label attribute in xml as follows:<subPara hangIndent="yes" indent="lowerroman 4 character" label="(ii)"><body>in which the testator was, at the time of the execution of thewill or at the time of his death, domiciled or habitually resident;or</body></subPara>To output the number, Gentext for the subPara is captured as follows:<_gte:AttributeContent occur="1" scope="subPara" attr="label"/>The challenge is aligning the Gentext (AttributeContent) Right as illustrated below: (ii) (iii) (v)(iixi)Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Please assist - I have a client who runs Arbortext Editor and Styler 6.0 M070.They are currently experieince errors when previewing to RTF. The error message reads: [Unable to obtain a license for optional component Arbortext Import/Export]The client does not have Import/Export licenses and should not have. They also do not have Import/Export installed. Previewing to RTF is standard Styler functionality.The client is also running on MS 2010 and can open RTF documents that I send them.Anyone expericed a similar case? Please assist - I cannot understand why Styler is looking for the Import/Export license. We have tested on other machines that have Editor and Styler and the RTF preview works.

Hello,I wonder if someone has found a way to suppress this new warning. We understand how the keyrefs function and that this is likely by design, but it should be obvious that if the element contains content, use the content, otherwise use the keyref content. At least that's how the OASIS standard reads.For example:Key reference "nobracket" on "uicontrol" element in "ks_operation_mode.dita" will not derive its content from the referenced key definition because the element is not empty.We may have hundreds of these, and it makes it very difficult to filter for the "real" warnings.I have perused the DCF files for keybase and ditabase, but no obvious solution was found. Thanks for your time.Bill

Hi,I'm fairly certain it's not possible to do this, but I'm not findingconfirmation the adepters archives. I would like to output some stockwarning if a cross reference fails at composition. Does anyone have astylesheet trick for this?I can validate the XML before submitting it, but I'm hoping to be able todeliver a FIXMEDUDE type of warning to the output. So far I'm not able tofigure out how to do that.Thanks.-- Paul Nagai

When we place a topic with a foldout in the chapter coloum it publishes my folout with a blank page after the foldout page. If I move my topic one level it does not do it any more. Just wondering where I need to look to fix this issue. I look in styler and see there is a foldout element and in the fold out element there is a lastpage with a blank page following the element, So I take it this is why it prints correctly on the chapter level. One question is how do you know how many levels an element is styled for?ThanksBryon

Hai Friends,We have one .Dwg file its contains english language text, I want to translate english to riussian . There is any macro macro available for translation in isodraw please let me know.

If your resource manager is open. when you go to open a new topic it is dreadfully slow. Is there a key that you can hold down on the keyboard when opening a topic that will suppress the resource manager from opening in the topic being opened.Bryon

This old post provides one strategy for highlighting some of thetext/elements within Editor. Hope it gives you some good ideas.

Hello again 😃Some days ago Paul Nagai posted me some info about FOSI, I think that this tool would be very very useful in order to reach my goal, however I don't know anything about FOSI =( Please, if any of you could help me giving me more info related with FOSI and screes stylesheets it would be awesome!! =DI have been searching more info about FOSI, however is pretty confusing for me now, If any of you know more general and basic information I will really appreciate your help, for example, I would like to know how do I implement a FOSI screen style sheet? I have been trying with my init.acl file and the 'set stylesheet' command but I can not see any change or any difference in my documents, also I think this is because I don't know how FOSI works =( ...I mean, I don't know if when I open an existing document automatically mi stylesheet would be applied; what I'm trying to do is that when a user clicks a button, some text be highlighted in a specific color, I would like to implement
