Share same setting values of Preferences with multiple users

$
0
0

Dear all,

 

I am trying to figure out how the system administrator can configure the same setting among multiple Arbortext Editors.

For example, In Arbortext Editor, Tools > Preferences > Preferences dialog box > Advanced > Acvanced Preferences dialog box, there is a preference named "newlist. How would you share the setting values of this "newlist" among multiple users? And how the system administrator configures it?

 

FYI, I have already tried on the environmental variable "APTWCF" but it was not suitable for this purpose, because it also shared unnecessary values in Tools > Preferences. 

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Kind regards,

Tomomi

Does anyone know if locked licenses of Arbortext Editor can be used globally or are they tied to contracts like concurrent licenses?

My figure and figure title are not on the same page, why?

$

I am exporting cgm files from ISO, and inserting a "fig-tittle-image" in Arbortext.  I have tried different "move/fit/border" size BUT my figure tittle and image are always on 2 different pages when I publish to pdf. 

My page setting (preference) on my template is 8.5 X 11 and my bounding box is 7 X 9. Everything is withing the bounding box and I don't have a newpage inserted. There should be lots of room for the image, why does it publish my tittle on one page and the image on the second page.  From Arbortext I have clicked on the image and open it and measured the bounding box border and indeed it does measure the 7 x 9. 

I don't understand why it is doing this.

How do I start a second manual

I made a manual as my generic, now I want to make another manual using the same files.  I made all my files through the dita map of the first manual.  Now that I want to make the second one, i can't do a save as, there is no link, therefore I started another dita map.  Now I don't see the files that are saved on my hard drive to pick from I only see the dita map created, if I try to insert file they are directly linked to the previous dita map in the filename.  How do I make a second manual from those files if I can't pick from them?St

Why does Selecting elements not stick in Arbortext editor 6.0 (occasionally)?

$
0
0

Has anyone else experienced an intermittent problem where select does not stick.

 

For example, I select a word and then press ENTER to markup the selected text. By the time I select the markup to wrap the selected text, the text is no longer selected. There are no error messages in the bottom of the Arbortext Editor screen.

 

This also happens when I want to select text to delete. Before I can hit the delete key, the text has become unselected. I have even tried right-clicking and using the Select Element Content or Select Element options, but the same thing happens...the item is selected but for a second and then the selection disappears.

 

Just wondering if this ever happens to anyone else and how to get rid of this annoying problem.

we currently have Arbortext Editor, Styler and Arbortext Publishing engine along with Documentum. We need to upgrade Documentum Environment to Content server 7.1 or 7.2 as well as upgrading to WebTop 6.8. Does PTC support those Environments?

 

What are the latest Documentum environments you support?

 

What are the latest versions of Arbortext Editor, Styler and Publishing Engine?

Applicablility Color Coding

$

Using Arbortext 5.4, S1000D 4.0.1, would like to color code the text that is displayed between element tags (using applicRefId="ap001") that are tied back to an applicability statement like <applic id="ap001"> for a given data module. Having used this in other editors like XMetaL that allow for this when authoring in DITA, was wondering if anyone could point me to how this might be done with Arbortext Editor 5.4 for S1000D 4.0.1?!? So for every time an element within a data module uses applicRefId="ap001" the text between the element is color coded even highlighted. Would like to setup profiles for the users, so ap001 is one color, ap002 is a different color, etc.     

Black screen in IsoDraw 7.3

I have a user that when they zoom IN to a graphic the screen background will go black. He had this problem previously when we were running IsoDraw 7.1. We have now upgraded to 7.3 F000 and the problem has returned. We have tried the fix listed below but it does not seem to do the trick this time;

 

Description:

CGM graphics viewed in Internet Explorer using IsoView display as white graphics against a black background.  This happens in NSIV and when CGMs are viewed from the CSDB.

 

Resolution:

Navigate to the following location: C:\Users\<user id>\AppData\Roaming\PTC\IsoDraw\Preferences

If the AppData folder is not visible, the folder options to view hidden folders/files must be set.  See process at bottom entitled “View Hidden Folders”

Locate the file IsoView 7.2 Preferences.prf or IsoView 7.1 Preferences.prf.  If you have both files the following process will need to be applied to both files.

Right click on the IsoView preference file (IsoView 7.2 Preferences.prf/IsoView 7.1 Preferences.prf).  Select “Open With”, “WordPad”.  If WordPad is not available as an option, select “Choose default program…”  The “Open With” window opens, select the “Browse” button.  Navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe.  WordPad is now set in the Open With window.  Select “OK”.

The preference file opens in WordPad. Scroll down to the text line “Use OpenGL for 2D: 1”.  Edit this line by changing the one to a zero.  The line then reads “Use OpenGL for 2D: 0”.

Save and close. 

Restart the computer.

 

We do have the M020 update available will this cure this problem? Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Core ACL Updates

$

0

Hello all, I am a first time poster on this community forum and I was hoping to get community feedback on if the following would be worth an enhancement request. As I have engaged on customization projects, a few similar requirements have required repeated custom code to achieve.

 

1) oid_find_child_attrs() and oid_find_parent_attrs() are unable to locate schema defaulted attributes. I feel this is an issue because Styler and oid_xpath functions are able to detect these defaulted values, whereas these two functions are unable to.

 

2) oid_find_children() and similarly named functions. On the face of it, one would assume that I would be finding children within a target oid, but this function infact returns all descendants. Would be a nice feature to possibly have a flag to find just direct children of the target oid. Also on this note, would be nice to have an oid_find_ancestor() that worked up the tree instead of being required to loop using oid_parent()

 

3) ACL oid_xpath functions supporting change tracking in the document. When change tracking exists, oid_xpath functions attempting to see into/out of will throw internal errors. Non xpath oiid functions will handle change tracking fine and will also respect change tracking view. Xpath in the stylesheet also supports change tracking markup as well as the change tracking view. It would be nice to see oid_xpath functions behave similarly to these other use cases.


Create header into a document without style sheet

Hi, I would like to know how I can create a header in Arbortext document without using a style sheet.

My problem is that I need to create multiple documents with different text on each header. But as all documents will have the same format, I want to use only one style sheet to change all documents at a time.

Greetings and thank you very much.

I'm working with DITA, using conrefs with the conkeyref attribute set to manage variable content (for example, switching product names on output generation). However, to prevent issues because of typos, I would like the conkeyref attribute to be filled in automatically from the source file. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
