Hi all,

 

I received the file attached (file from 7.2.iso) from my client, he created this file with Isodraw 7.2 M030, I have a different version of isodraw 7.3 F000.

When I tried to open the file there is an error message (see error message.bmp).

Do you have any solution?

Cheers

Anyone out there using c-size paper for their printed schematics. We currently use B size for foldouts. There is a possibility of needing to switch to C size. Any other options out there for larger schematics on a printed output?

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,

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? 

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.

Creo Illustrate没有打印预览和页面格式设置功能,没有打印预览功能,用户不能再输出前检查图和文字的位置对不对。。没有页面格式设置功能,用户不能按照需要打印说明书的大小去调整说明书内容。希望PTC公司能改进和增加这方面的功能。3DVIA Composer有这两方面的功能,这个很人性化,用户在最终打印前可以预览检查内容的排版。。

Access help topics without Arbortext Editor

I am attempting to access the help topics that a user might normally get via the Arbortext Editor (AE) command line however that is not possible for me; I am behind a firewall so "on-line" help is not available.

I am trying to upgrade to AE 7.0 and need to track down some of the error messages I am getting.

Is there a way to access the help topics on the web from this site or another location without having AE installed. I cannot use a copy outside my firewall.

Tables and callbacks

$
0
0

Hi, I'm new to ACL and am having trouble understanding tables and callback functions. I intend to add some tags to a recently inserted table. My first step is to add my callback function for any document  to be invoked after inserting a table:

 

doc_add_callback(0, table_insert_after, myCB)

 

Unfortunately, it seems like the code within myCB is never run. No errors when adding myCB and no messages when inserting a table in the editor. Anyone knows why this is happening?

 

Thanks in advance,

Alternative to specific counters when using FOM

$
0
0

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?

[A11514] Unhandled Exception?

$

Hi all,

 

Trying to see if anyone in the community has experienced a similar issue...

 

Using either  Arbortext 6.0, or 6.1 [32 bit or 64 bit] latest builds, I get an [A11514] Unhandled Exception error out of the blue. There is no apparent workflow that causes this except perhaps time.  It happens sometimes when starting the application up without opening any files. It always happens when open for extended amount of time. I have an open case for this but no resolution in site.

 

Seems like a memory issue or perhaps something on my system conflicts with Arbortext.

 

Anyone experience similar issue?

Hi All,

 

I am creating an illustrations catalog in HTML. I make it from a XML file and I use the tool Compose - For Web. I would like customize the part of downloading the images that are included in the XML to a local folder, called graphics, wich is the source of the HTML doc; This images are in Windchill PDM. I dont know where Arbortext Editor make this process, I need customize it because I dont want download all of them, I only want download the new images, and actually the program downloads all images, and it makes the process very slow...

 

I want do a comparison between images in the last HTML doc created and the images in the new XML (they usually are few new images), and I want the program download to the source folder of the HTML only that new images.

 

Could someone help me?

 

Thanks,

Hi All,

 

I am creating an illustrations Catalog in my enterprise from XML docs to HTML, with the Compose For Web tool. All the process runs ok, but my problem is when the program download the images from Windchill PDM and save them in a local folder, it saves them with a random name distinct from original.

 

I would like customize this process and keep the same names in the local folder. I need to know where the Arbortext Editor makes it!!

 

I put you an example:

 

My original image have the name IL025368.cgm, and when I run the program, it saves it in my folder with the name xwc4345242677753719289X3938.png .  All the images downloaded have the same format, they begins with "xwc" and have the "X" char in the same position that this one. All the numbers are generated randomly.

 

Could somebody help me? I have this problem many time ago and I need already solve it!!

 

Thank you very much,

How to add pdf files on publish?

$

Is there a method to add multiple page pdf files to the finished pdf document via Arbortext or the PE? No need to add page numbers/headers/etc. I just need to merge in raw pdf files to the end of the published document. I found several old posts pointing to the use of itext, but that is an external library that has been modified throughout the years and is no longer the same program it was before and I'd really rather accomplish this from within Arbortext itself.

Compose pdf at one time and not one by one

Hi.

 

I search since a long time but I never found a solution to compose my pdf at one time.

I need to publish my xml files for my customer and I compose my pdf files one by one !

Sometimes I have more than 50 files.

I've read some solutions, but they are not enough accurate (pieces of acl code or prompts) and I'm not a great programmer.

I'm very interested to learn how to write a script or launch some prompts to realize some tasks but tutos for real beginers are rare.

I have the version 5.4 of arbortext editor and perhaps some of you have a good solution for me.

Why this feature doesn't exist in the arbortext menus ?

Select all the xml files instead only one and compose pdf...

Thanks by advance for your answers and your lights.

 

Best regards.

arbortext editor doesn't free my files after editing

$

Hello the community.

 

I wonder if it' is possible to free my files after editing in arbortext editor and closing.

Once my edited file and closed (I close the file but not the instance of arbortext editor), this one is locked by arbortext editor and I can't move it in another directory or delete it, for example.

It's very annoying because I must close arbortext editor every and the starting of the application is very long.

Perhaps some of you have a solution (I tried to install an soft such unlocker but it doesn't work because of the administration rights).

 

Best regards.
