I've seen questions and answers about how to use Notepad++ as the relation editor. I would like to use Emacs as my relation editor, since I will then be able to:
(1) Customize the appearance of the text based on context. Gray comments, bold keywords, red for errors, etc.
(2) Use the editing commands available in that editor, which I like a lot.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the editor to work. It starts up, but the relations file is always empty, even for parts I know have a lot of relations in them. The file it always opens is "rels.ptd". My theory at present is that Emacs expects to be opening an existing file, and not finding one, just starts a new buffer with that name. It doesn't "pull in" the "virtual" file that Creo is sending it.
Has anyone had any luck using an alternative editor for relations?
