Isoengine73.exe and 2K12

January 26, 2017, 12:51 pm

Good morning all,

A quick questions. Is PTC --> Arbortext IsoView 7.3 --> Isoengine73.exe  Compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2 ? (With IE11)

 

The application came bundled with an IETP Software. The IETP Software works fine, and I am able to see the thumbnail of the illustration alright. Yet, when I click on the Thumbnail, the illustration does not open up and the Isoview Buttons do not work.

so:Is the bundled Isoview app compatible with Server 2K12 R2?

  • Are there any tricks to make it work? For example, I have already disabled pop-up blocker in IE11, Added the relevant web page to Compatibility Mode and  to the Security Tab --> Trusted Sites (with "enable protected mode" disabled)
  • I tried "compatibility mode" on the Isoengine73.exe  using XP SP3 and others
  • All of the above to no avail

 

Any tips or ideas ?

 

 

 

Many Thanks

How to trim IsoDraw illustration outside vdc extent

Hello all, we are placing jt files on our templates. We resize and contour fill until it looks correct. We then export to a cgm. We have been having some issue with excessive file size due to all the information outside the vdc extent also converts. We have set editor to not to display anything outside this vdc extext, but the cgm are being quite large slowing down publishing. What we have been doing to alleviate this, is create a box filled with a color then place it over the excess illustration outside the template. Select element, optimize, remove covered elements. Then it removes anything that is covered. We do have a frame around our template. Is there away to automate this procedure?

javascript file creating delay in document loading

I am using JavaScript to customize certain type of documents and I did notice a fairly long delay in loading a document that is subject of the customization when is open for the first time in Editor.

If a document that is subject of the customization is or has been already open, the following documents of the same type do not experience the loading delay.

 

I am assuming that the delay has to do with loading up the JavaScript file first, which has a pretty large size (1025KB), and then the document. How can the delay be reduced?

 

Thank you for help!

Hi everyone,

 

We are struggling with an error during spellcheck.  If the editor spellchecks a map containing a large number of topics we get crashes.

 

Is this a known issue, and are there workarounds?

 

We are running 5.4

 

Thanks,

Spellcheck validation prereq for CCMS checkin

Hi folks,

 

I'm trying to enforce a spellcheck on topic content before allowing a check-in to the CCMS.  The behavior is identical to xml validation.

 

I can't do anything on the CCMS end- are there any configurable behaviors in the editor to prevent writers from performing check in on a topic with flagged spelling errors?

 

Thanks,

J

Can Arbortext XML Editor 7.0 standalone transform XML to PDFs

Hi,

 

I have an important question. My client is currently using Arbortext XML editor 5.3 that is integrated with a CMS and CMS is doing the transformation from XML to PDFs. And Arbortext is only used for XML editing.

 

I need to do the same thing but my company don't want that CMS but with existing XML files and DTDs and Style sheet (FOSI)

 

Is Arbortext 7.0 standalone capable of transforming XML to PDFs? I had a discussion with a sales person from PTC he said you can do with Styler.

 

I want to sure that it should fulfills our requirements before acquiring the licence. Wanted to test with trial version but not getting the trial license.

 

Anybody confirm whether is possible in Arbortext 7.0?

Is there anything in Isodraw 7.3 that makes 7.0 macros hang Isodraw?

February 16, 2017, 8:11 am

We've recently upgraded to Isodraw 7.3 from 7.0.

 

We have a macro that draws ribbed pipes but it no longer works properly in 7.3.

 

It's a long macro so I won't put it here unless someone wants me to.

 

The macro has a while loop in it that prompts the user to select a point on a line - it adds ribs along this line each loop until the user exits by clicking in space.

 

It worked fine in 7.0, but in 7.3 it works OK for a few seconds and then Isodraw hangs for several minutes as though it's stuck in an endless loop. It eventually exits the macro.

 

Strange thing though is that it's not based on the number of ribs it draws (i.e. the number of loops) but on time since the macro started - if you pick points quickly, you can get more ribs drawn than if you pick them slowly.

 

Is 7.3 less forgiving of bugs, or could I be using some functions that no longer work properly?

 

Any general guidance would be very welcome. I can post the whole macro if anyone is interested.

Hi there,

 

we have a bunch of 2d and 3d graphics that have "object tips" in the Objects.  We only need to remove the object tip (the hovering text) part.

Is there an existing custom macro for that or is there a batch process technique?   I would like to streamline the process for efficiency.

 

Any ideas?

I have information in tables (tools, spare parts) put inside the topics and I would like them to be hidden on the topic level and have all the tables consolidated in the output at the bookmap level. How feasible it is to have in Arbortext that gives me a pdf output?
