Hello, we distribute our software with IsoView 7.0 (for reasons too in depth to go into, distributing a later version is not an option currently, nor is making installation optional). We have a customer that has Arbortext Editor 6 which fails is IsoView 7.0 is active on their machines. They have found they can get it back working by running Regsvr32 on their IsoViewX73.ocx but when they run our software IsoView always shows the text "UNLICENSED Arbortext Isoview".

 

What can we do to

 

A. fix up this customer's issue?

B. prevent graphics in our software saying they are unlicenced when the customer upgrades to a later version of IsoView?

 

thanks in advance

 

Dave

Hey up everyone - I'm hoping someone may be able to shed some light on a couple of problems I've run into...

1.  I"m trying to develop a macro that will correctly format a batch of illustrations. So far everything's going to plan, but what I thought would be the easiest bit is proving the hardest. I want to use the 'fit to page' function, but I can't record it (the function is greyed out) and I can't find any reference in the help manual to script it either. Anyone done this before?  After some digging it looks like this may only be a function available in 7.3 - I have 7.2, can anyone confirm?

2.  I'm also trying to select  any text which is less than 7pt. I have 2 different sizes on the illustration so I can't use the 'font_size is not' function. 

I've been trying to develop a macro to select the smaller sized text and then lock it using the box.top and box.bottom parameters, but it fails to select the smaller size text, just the last piece of text on the illustration. It goes like this:

Macro Select text size

# recorded with Arbortext IsoDraw 7.2

DEFINE myElem AS Element

Select IF Type is equal to "Text"

myElem = activeDoc.firstSelectedElement

IF (myElem.box.top - myElem.box.bottom is smaller than 3) THEN

myElem.locked = 1

myElem = myElem.nextSelectedElement

END IF

End Macro

Anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work? In theory it should take the top box parameter and subtract the bottom box parameter of the first selected text element and if it's less than 3 (mm I'm guessing) it should lock it and move on to the next text element. All I get is that last text element locked (after a fashion) no matter what size it is.

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Cheers

Rob

Hi everyone,

Arbortext Editor is killing the illustration Notation. After placing a cgm-file the XML structure should show up as

<!NOTATION cgm SYSTEM "cgm"> but all I can see is <!NOTATION cgm SYSTEM> (without "cgm").

Does anyone know why Arbortext is doing this?
Any help would be great! Best regards from snowless Munich!

We are currently creating an .idr file in Isodraw. We then export it to jpg and to cgm. The jpg is so you can see what the end result looks like and the cgm is put in a different folder where the manual is located. We then create a link in editor to the cgm, so it can be used in the manual. It seems that when you publish, every cgm is then converted to eps. Would we be better off using the idr files, instead of creating cgms??

 

thanks

Hi.....we are not able to see generated text for elements with a particular namespace....when we do Format -> Modify Element In Context.. we are not able to see element's FOSI for those elements belonging to particular namespace....however it works fine for other elements.

 

Any idea what could be going wrong.....we have xsd associated with the document...and the same namespace is that of root element as well.

 

Regards,

Pawan

I have an old version of IsoDraw (from the Itedo days). I have upgraded to a new version of Windows and have tried to install my version of Itedo IsoDraw but it does not work. Any ideas or suggestions?

I am adding a large amount of entitity declarations and referencing them from a DTD. The compile fails with

"Size of value string block exceeds maximum capacity of 524280 bytes.

Document type definition is too complex

Compile failed - rc=64"

 

Just what capacity does this error refer to? I have tried various settings in the SGML Declaration, but the 524280 byte limit in the error message never changes. Is this an internal Arbortext limitation?

 

In the past, we have simply upped various capacity values in the SGML Declaration and got the desired result. But I can't see how to make this limit budge.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Debra Lee

We have been trying to install S1000D Arbortext software and we came across this error.  I was wondering if anyone knows what or if they have any issues with this that might help us.  We put in a case for the issue but we wanted to check here as well.

I have a problem with the ndash entity in tables. I've entered the ndash in between para tags in a table, yet for some reason they randomly de-construct throughout the document in various locations. These are the completeness errors related to the ndash and an unrelated jpeg notation error.

 

(Note - I am aware of the jpeg error I get that all the time, that comes out of the box.)

 

 

So, the following is an example of the code which generates an error on validation:

 

<para>&nd;ash;</para>

 

I have no idea why the additional semi-colon is appearing in the middle of this entity.  If I fix this (delete and replace it) and CSDB Save the document is valid but if I close and re-open the document and re-validate I find the error has re-appeared.

 

Basically, I'd like to use the ndash but I think I'm going to have to remove it since it appears to be unstable.

Hi,

 

Offhand does anyone know what the actual text "format" the IsoDraw Macros are in? ANSI, DOS, UTF-8?

 

I find that if  I edit the .ism files with Textpad they can no longer be read by IsoDraw afterward. I'm forced to edit them in Notepad which is not really ideal.

Problem with Table Column Alignment in S1000D Output

I ran into a problem, in one table I selected the entire column and set the para containing the "0" to align right. The issue is that it does not align right in the S1000D output even though the colspec is clearly set to align="right:

 

<table colsep="1" frame="all" id="tab-0006"

rowsep="1" tocentry="0">

<tgroup cols="3"><colspec colwidth="12.50pi"/>

<colspec align="right" colwidth="6.50pi"/>

<colspec colwidth="18.80pi"/>

<tbody>

<row>

<entry>

<para>Something</para>

</entry>

<entry>

<para>0</para>

</entry>

 

Yet in another table I have a different result, and the column containing the 0 does align right when it is printed to PDF, the difference is that  in this table the entry has an attribute align="right set on it:

 

<table colsep="1" frame="all" id="tab-0005"

rowsep="1" tocentry="0">

<tgroup cols="3"><colspec colname="COLSPEC6"

colwidth="12.50pi"/><colspec colwidth="6.50pi"/>

<colspec colname="COLSPEC7" colwidth="18.80pi"/>

<tbody>

<row>

<entry>

<para>Something Else</para>

</entry>

<entry align="right">

<para>0</para>

</entry>

 

WHY? Tests reveal a difference:

 

•    If I select the entire column containing the 0 and use the align button it doesn’t add the attribute to the entry. Selecting the entire column applies the alignment to the colspec and not the entry.

 

•    If I select a partial range of cells in the entire column and use the align button, then the align attribute is entered at the entry level.

 

The difference is problematic,  it would appear  that the stylesheet doesn't output the correct format as it should when align is only applied to  colspec.

Hi,

 

This applies to the AAD stylesheets that were installed with Arbortext 5.3, CSDB M060. I found that single warnings and cautions were not being output as bold text (which they should be according to the spec).

 

I changed the xml template to fix this in the S1000D PDF output. the xsl file is foWarningsCautionNotes.xsl, the template name is at the bottom of the file and is: t_display_single_warning_caution

 

The line is:

 

            <fo:block padding-before="2mm" padding-after="2mm" font-size="12pt">

 

I changed it to:

 

<!--Modification added font weight-->

            <fo:block padding-before="2mm" padding-after="2mm" font-size="12pt" font-weight="bold">

 

Greg
