0

Hello Everyone,

 

I am working on S1000D Standards. I have create some Hatch Patterns (view the iso file attached).

When I use these patterns it would be fine. Once I close the file and again open the same file I get the preview of the hatchings (view the attached jpeg file).

 

Could any one please suggest how to get rid of this problem as I would be using this patterns daily.


Epic 5.1 and Xml Schema

$

Hello everyone,

 

I'm currently working with Epic editor 5.1 and for a new project I have to work with Schema but it seems that Epic 5.1 is not able to parse XML file using schema (I tried with a version 5.2 and it works).

 

Could someone confirm that it is not possible to work with XML Schema on Epic 5.1 and I need to upgrade my licence or is there any configuration, manipulation or anything else to do.

 

Many thanks,

Christophe

How do you read callout text in a macro?

$
0
0

I have a macro that needs to read the text of callouts.

 

I can't find anything that lets me read the text.

 

I've found callout.text_prefix and callout.text_postfix but can't find a function to read the actual text itself.

 

Is there one?

Hotspots disappear when zooming and/or panning on a converted CGM graphic

My company is in the process of migrating from Active CGM to IsoView to display our intelligent graphics in an IETM.  When we preview our converted graphic we noticed that the hotspots and labels disappear (are no longer displayed, but links remain active) when we pan and/or zoom in or out on a graphic. We're working with files that have been authored for ActiveCGM and then converted to IsoView.

 

Has anyone seen this type of issue before?  We're using v7.1.50.09 of IsoView and are held to DADMS compliance (Departement Of Navy Application and Database Management System), so may be able to upgrade to 7.3 M010 if this issue is addressed in that version.  Any help/information is VERY appreciated!

 


DTD error problem

I have a customer who is trying to open an xml against a dtd and he continues to get  the error:

C:\Users\lvian\Documents\spec2200_2011.1a\DTDs\cmm.dtd : Line: 217 Column: 66

Expected quoted string

I looked at column 66, line 217 and it says this:

<!ENTITY   % ISOtech      PUBLIC

     "ISO 8879-1986//ENTITIES   General Technical//EN"           >

Looks like the string is quoted. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

I guess this is more of a question than a discussion. Or maybe a question that someone smarter than I can answer.

Hi, I'm brand new here and needed to ask a question on configuration of Isodraw.

 

My question is this. Is there a way to make icons in the Pallette window change color when picked? Sometimes it's difficult to see what choice I've made since it all looks the same to me. Another question would be to ask if you can change the background color of the drawing area. The white background at times causes me eye strain and changing the color to a darker color with bright lines is a lot easier on my eyes.

 

I've tried to contact PTC and suggest this as a change for the next version, but cannot find a way to contact them for suggestions.

 

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

Isodraw .emf size problem...

$

We upgraded three seats to v7.3 several  months ago, to solve a .wmf size issue in Word (8 inches in Isodraw = 6 inches in Word.)  Our three seats of v7.3 have been producing consistently correct .emf files on our two Windows 7 machiines and one XP64 machine until last week, when the XP64 installation whent back to generating incorrectly sized .emf files.

I've tried them in various Office apps and even in Adobe Illustrator, but the only time# the .emf files are displayed at the correct size is when imported back into Isodraw.  I also have re-installed v7.3 on the XP64 machine with no luck.  We plan to  upgrade the XP machine to Windows 7 in about 2 months, but there's no guarantee that will work, and we need the capability now, rather than later....Has anyone else experienced simalar problems?

I have attached an .emf and the original Isodraw file...

XUI XML Dialog

I am trying to convert my 4.3 .vr files into 5.3 XUI XML files.  One of the .vr files was a toolbar with two text boxes anchored to the bottom of the Epic window.  I am able to create an XUI XML file with two read only textboxes anchored to the bottom, but do not want the user to have the ability to close the dialog.  Is there a way to disable the X (close) button on the top right of the dialog.  If not, do I need to somehow make it into a toolbar.  Thanks for any help.

Does one need Arbortext Architect for the Import/Export to work?

Greetings

 

This question might have been answered already but I can't locate the answer: Does one need Architect for the Import/Export to work?

Could one just have the Import/Export license working without the Architect and would one be able to import documents and create Map Templates?

 

Thanking you

java.lang.NullPointer Exception error

Hi All,

 

We generally get error java.lang.NullPointer Exception while opening dynamic documents in Arbortext Editor in a linked session with Windchill. Clearing the cache or workspace sometimes resolves the issue. However, i do not believe that it has something to do with cache or workspace as it happens quite often.

 

What could be the reason and how to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Segment Violation Errors

$

0

Hi Folks,

 

We have been using Arbortext as a publishing tool for almost a year now. So far we have not had too many issues we haven't been able to overcome. Typically our documents are between 50 - 200 rendered pages and contain images, lists, cross references, and often many tables.

 

From time to time, I get complaints from users indicating that after rendering documents multiple times, they get segment violations and Arbortext closes. The work around is to restart and keep going.

 

It seems that the more complex the tables get (cell spanning) the more likely we have issues. For fun, I took a document and copied the content many times over to see what would happen when we have a larger document - the result is Arbortext will just crash about 330 pages or so into rendering. From a system perspective, I can see memory usage climb (x32 version here) to just over 1.1 GB before the crash. The error I commonly see is editor.exe: segment violation (signal 11).

 

My question is this, how do others handle these issues and are there other settings under the covers that will allow Arbortext more memory or to process larger files? I am a bit nervous that someday soon we may run into a 600 page document that cannot be handled.

 

I looked into some of the stylesheet profiling tools - but again with the error message I am seeing - it doesn't tell me what is really happeneing. For reference we are using the APP engine and have a custom schema/stylesheet.

 

Any advise is welcome.

Thanks,

Rob.

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.

RTF Preview Error

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]

RTF preview error message.png

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.
