Modify Table Border error message

After converting from 5.3 to 7.0 I found, when editing a table, I am getting an odd error when I attempt to use the editmenu.cf item Table->Modify Borders... .

 

The message states:

"[A30355] IDispatch error #8960 evaluating script: ??"

where the first word is IDispatch (leading I) and the ?? is generally a short string of Unicode characters that looks like random memory data.

 

After selecting OK on the error dialog a variation of the previous Modify Cell Borders (now named Modify Borders) dialog does come up however, the preview portion of the dialog does not have a preview displayed and I cannot change border settings for my table.

ACL doc_revert suppress warning shows little box

When using this method with the flag 0x002 (Suppress the prompt that unsaved changes will be discarded) the dialog that is suppressed is still displayed for a moment as a little box (see attached) in the center of the Arbortext Editor window.


We've even had situations where this little box has not disappeared but stayed on screen and waited for the user. All the user could do then was hit ESC which closed the dialog and carried on.

Globally change fonts used in a graphic

Running IsoDraw 7.3 on Win7 pc.

Using Batch to convert CGM files to SVG.

Would like to remap all Fonts (most are Arial), changing them to Helvetica.

How to batch change the Fonts, whether in the file while it's open, or during the batch export process?

We certainly could write code and run it against the SVG files afterward, but will IsoDraw do it?

 

Thanks,

Dave

Import Excel function and S1000D

Has anyone heard anything about PTC updating the Arbortext Tools to accomodate things like making the Import Excel function work with the S1000D schemas.

S1000D requires a para tag in each entry cell of a table.  Because of this the import excel function does not work properly with S1000D.  The only way around it right now, is to physically add the para tags to the data before you import, making the tool virtually useless.  It would be nice if they could rework the tool and give us an option of either milspec or S1000D functionality to choose from.

Licensing and Remote Desktop Services in 5.3 vs 6.1

Our office recently made the switch from Arbortext 5.3 to 6.1.

 

We have node-locked licenses for all our new 6.1 machines and today have just come to realize that in this new version, users cannot work remotely via a remote terminal connection. After contacting PTC support, the only way a user can remtoely use Arbortext is with a floating (more expensive) license type.

 

In 5.3, node-locked or individual licenses worked fine over a remote connection and now we might get burned by this licensing change. Is there no other alternative than to just buy the more expensive floating license?? I'm just posting here to maybe see how others dealt with this change as we can't have been the only ones burned by this.

QuickTags not displayed

We have 2 different types of documents, and the QuickTags list only shows up in one type.  What triggers when the QuickTags list is displayed?  I already have the Preferences option "Show Quick Tags on Enter" selected, and in our "chapter" documents, QuickTags work great.  In our "book" document, I get an error: "[A11131] Insertion of text not allowed in this context."  I'm not sure why <enter> is trying to insert text rather than bringing up QuickTags.  In order to insert a tag, I have to go to the Insert menu and select Markup.  That correctly gives me the context-sensitive list of allowable tags.  How can I get QuickTags to work correctly?

Alternative to specific counters when using FOM

September 1, 2015, 2:29 am
$

I'm currently developing a new APP template using only Javascript/FOM. In the past, we used specific counters like f or g to count page numbers or footnote references. The reason those counters come into handy is their behaviour when a page is reformatted multiple times as they still count correctly.

 

I want to avoid using legacy functionality whenever it is possible and tried using a global JavaScript variable like template.myCounter to count footnotes throughout the formatting process. As a ordinary global variable (like 3B2 Script or Perl Variable), incrementing it during formatting, will just add up, if an element is reformatted multiple times. Therefore a page with a single footnote that is formatted 4 times, would result in template.myCounter+4 instead of +1.

 

What would be the best practice in those situations (footnotes, page number)? Using counters with the formatting.evaluateShowString() function? Does the FOM provide any information about retries?

How to lock a file inside Arbortext Editor?

Hello Gurus!

 

So, I've been facing a problem and I would like to know if you could help me to solve it. Please, let me explain you a little bit about what I'm doing.

I implemented this plug-in in the Editor which allows me to load some XML files and modify the document according to the XML, however, while I'm loading the file I'm making the modifications and I wouldn't like that someone could try to manually modify some content in the file at the same time. Is there a way to lock the file I'm using and modifying or maybe the editor itself while I'm executing a task?

 

In advance I appreciate so much your time and response.

Keep the content of a table on a same page

Hello every one,

I am having a difficulty on Arbortext, I would like to keep the content of a table together but when I generate the PDF if the table is at the bottom of a page it splits the content. I already tried some modification on the stylesheet (keep, indivisibility) but even when I change the different levels of priority to set new rules for keeping content together, it does not change anything.

Do you have any clue to solve this little issue?

Thanks,

Anyway to copy path to clipboard as text, not as element?

I'm trying to get a macro in Arbortext Isodraw that copies the path and filename of the active document to clipboard.

 

I've tried combinations of copy and path and StripExt but it usually ends up in copying the text as an element, instead of to the clipboard.

 

 

I might try to do a text log that outputs the active doc path and filename, but it would be nice if there was an easier way!

Can I change the resolution / accuracy of Isodraw numbers?

August 24, 2015, 1:51 pm

I'm trying to write a macro that rounds numbers. The code asks users for a number, and the macro rounds to 2 after the decimal place. First of all, I'd like to know if Isodraw has a built in round function. That would save me some time. I searched the 7.2 IML Reference (even though I'm using 7.3 because I can't seem to get access to 7.3 IML) and there didn't seem to be a built in round function. Nonetheless I proceeded to write a rounding submacro which takes a user input for a number and rounds the 2nd digit after the decimal. However I noticed that my numbers were often altered after I input them. And so I used this text macro to test it:

 

macro numtest

define number as float

define numasstring as string

number = get float "Number"

numasstring = number

message numasstring

end macro

 

When I input 8.591, I get 8.59.

Similarly,

 

8.592 --> 8.592

8.593 --> 8.593

8.594 --> 8.593

8.595 --> 8.595

8.596 --> 8.596

8.597 --> 8.596

8.598 --> 8.598

8.599 --> 8.599

8.600 --> 8.599

 

 

It seems like the resolution of Isodraw's numbers are set somewhere. Why does Isodraw do this, and how can I change the resolution / accuracy of the numbers?
