DTD setup and other MIL STD config files

June 9, 2014, 9:52 am

I have Arbortext Editor 5.3 configured with AF DTD 38784STD-BV6.  Now there is a need for 38784STD-BV9.dtd (DTD v9).  What other files do I need and how would I configure AE to create a structure that is compliant with the newer DTD?

I downloaded the "v9" DTD and FOSI and something called a TDT.

 

When I opened an sgml document that was compliant with my v6 DTD, and associated the v9 DTD with it, it blew up.

That's the good news. At least the content is there. I think I might have to run through context checking and it would create the proper structure. I hope.

But I have no stylesheet. Where does one obtain that?

 

Basically 2 questions:

What does one need to set up their AE config for an updated DTD of a MIL STD?

How do you get started creating a document with a new DTD? Or, better yet, how do you get an existing one to slide nicely into the updated DTD structure?

Webtop is migrated from 6.7 sp1 to webtop 6.7 sp2.Arbortext version used is 6.0 M020 in both.

In webtop 6.7 sp1,opened a xml document in Arbortext Editor.Connected to Documentum via AE and could insert components.

Whereas in 6.7 sp2,even after connecting to Documentum through AE,while hitting enter to insert a component,it is asking for the documentum connection again.

 

Why it is asking for the connection again,when it is already connected.What is the  solution to this behaviour?

Report Management: Latest Version/Iteration

I'm building a report via Report Management. For my results I only want the most up-to-date document and display it version and iteration. Right now the way my query works is that I get the latest versions with it's latest iteration. Example: document.xml A.11 and B3.  I just want B.3. Make sense?

 

In my Query Builder I have:

Document.Version (versionDisplayIdentifier)

Document.Latest Iteration

 

I searched through discussion but couldn't find the answer. It was mostly sql queries (or something like that).

 

Your help is appreciated

 

Thank you, Darquise.

Highlighting text in Arbortext Editor 6.1 F000

Hi,

 

We used to work with MsWord where we used "highlight text fucntionality" to identify the paragraph, sentence that need to be modified or reviewed later on.

But as we moved to Arbortext, authors are finding it impossible to markup/highlight text that are not finalised.

 

Is there a similar function in Arbortext we could use to identify text within an element (e.g <para>) as "not final".

Is there a way to highlght text in Arbortext?

 

This could be a great help and reduce intermediate authoring in word only to be copied to Arbortext later on.

 

Thanks,
Edwin

Hi.

 

I would like to have an example of the "im edittype" command to remove the overridden description in the 'Overrides for Fields" for an item type.

 

I wasn't able to figure this out from the "im edittype -?" information. My search for documentation has come up empty. And my trial-and-error experimentation has failed.

 

Can someone provide an example, or point me to documentation?

 

Thanks...

Isodraw 7.2, macro to add the "filename" to graphic window?

I have a multitude of graphics in which the filename (i.e. "drawing1.cgm, drawing2.cgm, etc) needs to be added within the image area of the graphic. Can a macro be created to specifically target each file in the location they reside, copy the filename, open the graphic and paste into the graphic window?

 

I can make a macro to "singly" do that task to one file...but now sure how to have it continuously go thru the files in a consecutive order.

 

Thanks

Illustrated Parts Lists - How are you handling?

How are others in the Technical Authoring Community dealing with Illustrated Parts Lists?  I realize I'm scratching the surface, but from what I understand "Intelligent Graphics" have a list (Parts List) embedded.  When you use the intelligent graphic how are you accessing the list?

 

Creo-Illustrate does not have capability to embed a "Parts List" in a Figure.  From what I understand IsoDraw does (please recalibrate me if need be).

 

Ultimately, what I'd like to get to is processing such that Figure is on one page and Parts List (when present) is opposite.

 

Thanks!

Hi guys,

 

we have problems with the output window of the completeness check in the newest version of Arbortext Editor 6.1 M020.

If anything was not valid then the Editor 5.4 showed following window:

54.png

As you can see there was possible to click on the errors to jump directly to the error.

In the Editor 6.1 we get following output with the same xml file:

61.png

These informations are not helpful and we cannot jump to the error. In our opinion is this completeness check in the newer version very disappointing.

Maybe we do anything wrong. Anybody an idea how to get the old output? We hope you can help us.

Dear guys,

 

do you know an opportunity to get a 'curl' character like in WinWord instead of space character in Arbortext Editor?

In XML there is an three-per-em space unicode between this characters, like here:

 

space1.png

As you can see there is only a space character visible.

In WinWord the useres know this sign:

curlww.png

As you can see there is a curl between the characters.

Is it in Arbortext Editor or Style also possible to get the curl instead of the space character?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

IsoView vs CreoView for Windows 8 Touch Devices

Abortext IsoView does not appear to be qualified for touchscreen devices and there appears to be more development of functional improvements on the Creo View product range. Will IsoView  be improved or can Creo View be considered a  modern replacement for IsoView when viewing 2D technical illustrations on touch devices?

 

CreoView seems to support a wider range of Web broswers compared to IsoView, so it is not just the user experience aspect where this query is coming from.

How to enable lists within tables when importing into Arbortext

July 30, 2014, 7:21 am

I have developed an Import Map Template (MS Word to XML) which does not pick up any lists within tables from the source document. All other lists are correctly recognized. To remedy this issue, I set the "include lists" option in "initial preprocessing options" to true. This resulted in lists within tables being correctly recognized by the Map Template Editor, however when using the Map Template to import the Word file into Arbortext Editor, all lists now restart after every list item.

 

For example, where you would normally have 10 listitems within an bulleted list, there are now 10 bulleted lists with one listitem each. This error occurs in all lists. I've included screengrabs of how it looks in the source file pane, and then the results in Arbortext Editor. So in summary: For the Map Template to pick up lists within tables, I enabled "include lists". However, now all lists refuse to have more than one listitem.

 

Any advice on how to how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

How do you center text in Arbortext Editor 5.3?

I can center text using the HTML and XHTML doctypes by editing the attributes but can't seem to do this in SGML or XML based docs like DocBook or any of our custom DTDs. It appears that it is disabled somehow but I don't know  where to enable this?

 

I also tried to solve this by clicking on Format --> Touchup --> Custom Touchup --> Horizontal tab --> Justification = center

 

Does the solution involve the Styler? DTD? FOSI?

 

Please help, thanks!

Arbortext AAD 4.4 M080 Print Services Problem with TOC

Hi,

 

I am using the 4.4 M080 print services and I noticed that on page 1 of a Data Module the Table of Contents lists the paras 1, 2, 3, 3.2, 3.2 and then stops. There are a couple of figures after para 3.2 and then the text content resumes. There should be entries for 4 through  5.4.3 since the data module contains more content. Does anyone have a quick fix for this?

Using workspaces in Arbortext Content Manager (or Windchill) can be a bit confusing. How do you keep it clean? When should you create one? How long should you keep a workspace? How do you know which one to us (if you have several)? And, hey, while we're at it, why might you have several?  What is a workspace for anyway? What does it mean?  In this session we're going to talk about workspaces in Arbortext Content Manager and Windchill: How to use them effectively and what the best practices are for managing them.

We've been having problems inserting graphics/images into our Arbortext SGML file. Each time we try to insert a graphic, we receive the following message:

 

"[A11647] Graphics are not allowed in this document type"

 

We've opened up our .DCF file to try to resolve the issue. In the .DCF, we've found an element for Graphics in the "Specials" field. When I open the attributes for it, I see the following:

 

Graphics-DCF.png

 

My question is: What do I need to enter into these fields that will enable us to put in graphics?
