XREF text case issue

July 17, 2014, 8:20 am
$
0

Arbortext 6.0. We are using and SGML DTD with Arbortext 6.0 M080. Our writers use the id and xref combination for referencing.

When they click on attributed icon to bring up the attributes, they click on the autogenerate ID icon (looks like a firecracker we think) it generate a tag that is the first 35 character of the text and an ASCII value. Probelm is the text is in camel case (first letter of each word is Uppercase with no spaces). When they then use xref and select the reference, the text key is all lower case. It works ok in the composer/APE, but we use the data for creating ourown HTML and links do not agree. Is there a way to set the text to all lower case for the ID or to make REFID keep the text the same as the ID. Or is there a way to just generate the ascii number and not use the text.

Correct Xpath expression to remove special characters

August 1, 2014, 6:34 am

Recently we've been experiencing some issues when bursting an Editor document into Windchill. Apparently, special characters such as ':,>' etc. are not allowed within Windchill object names. So I've found the following Xpath code (to be inserted in the burst configuration naming rules) which should be able to substitute any special characters when names are generated:

 

<namerule elementname="map" rule="xpath" nameexpression="translate(title/@outputclass,' \*:()|&lt;&gt;%.?/&quot;&apos;',' ')"/>

 

I cannot however get it to work. If anyone is familiar with Xpath syntax, could you please provide an example of how this code would look when using it to substitute characters in chapter object names? I suspect the issue lies with the 'title/@outputclass' part of the code, since I have tried for example 'title/chapter' and many other variations with no luck...

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?

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

Arbortext AAD 4.4 M090 foTable.xsl stylesheet still missing pica

foTable.xsl still does not contain picas and the translate portion is still missing a conversion statement. Without this statement the column widths for tables with measurements in picas are incorrect in the output. I added the following pica related code in two tests:

 

<xsl:when test="(contains(@colwidth,'*') or not(contains(@colwidth,'*'))) and not(contains(@colwidth,'cm') or contains(@colwidth,'CM') or contains(@colwidth,'mm') or contains(@colwidth,'MM') or contains(@colwidth,'pi') or contains(@colwidth,'PI')

 

And this to the coversion template:

 

<xsl:template name="T_ConvertToMilliMetres">

           <xsl:param name="pValue"/>

           <xsl:choose>

                <xsl:when test="contains($pValue, 'mm') or contains($pValue, 'MM')">

                     <xsl:value-of select="number(translate($pValue,'mmMM',''))"/>

                </xsl:when>

               <xsl:when test="contains($pValue, 'pi') or contains($pValue, 'PI')">

                     <xsl:value-of select="round(number(translate($pValue,'piPI','') * 4.2175176))"/>

                </xsl:when>

We are running batch routines from the command line to convert XML to HTML. For each document, Arbortext opens, shows the window and closes. Does someone know how to do that in a "hidden" mode without opening and Arbortext session window? Thanks for your help!

ACL code not working

Using acl scripting in Arbortext Editor 6, How can an sgml file be opened and then save it as xml?

 

The doc_open method below returns a document identifier.

Providing this document identifier to the doc_save function saves an empty xml file.

 

Sample ACL Code:

#Open a sgml file

#0x200 - Open the document without loading a stylesheet.

$sgml_doc = doc_open("file.sgml", 0x200)

 

#save as xml

#0x0020 - Write the document as an XML document

doc_save($sgml_doc, 0x0020, "file.xml")

 

 

What should be done differently?

We currently are storing our graphic files on a seperate network as a repository.  We have had issues with the network, where it might be down but our Composer is still composing.  The result is not graphics in the PDF.  We also have to change our network mapping daily, because the server has be replaced and points elsewhere.  Is there a place in Arbortext Editior for such a repository?

More than one command at a time?

Hello - this is my first time here, so I hope it is okay for me to ask a question regarding the Arbortext editor.

 

I am an end user and have just found out that I can map my own keyboard shortcuts through the command line. My coworkers and I are thrilled that we can do this and use the editor in a more personal adjusted way.

But I don't think we can save the shortcuts locally - I haven't figured out how anyway, and it's propably a good thing that we can't override what our system administrator has set.

 

My question is - are there any way of running more than one command at a time?

 

Eg. I have made these (and more):

 

map F10 insert_tag NR

map ctrl+d delete_tag

map ctrl+shift+T insert_tag TXT

 

and I copy/paste them in the Command line each time I start Arbortext editor. Do you know of any easier way?

Thanks :-)

reloading a docked xui-window in acl

August 8, 2014, 3:41 am

Hi guys,

 

we are creating a xui-window with acl on the fly if the user clicks on a button. The content of the xui window is a listbox with listitems.

Now we want to dock the xui-window to the bottom of the Arbortext Editor window. We are doing this with enabledocking="any" and  dock="bottom". So far this is the desired behaviour. But if the user clicks again on the button, we get errors from acl with the function window_show() Argument #1 "no valid window-id". Probably the reason for this is that we try to open again a xui-window until the other xui is opened.

 

Therefore our question: How we can reload the xui-window correctly (e.g. with acl?) Or is there any other better way with javascript to do that?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

 

pardon my inexperience. I have very simple question. I can open IGES file from File>Open menu.

 

BUT if I open the IGES file by doublecliking it, the IsoDraw program opens blank document with nothing imported.

 

Anybody has an idea what it could be? Users require import of igs by doubleclicking the file.

 

Thank you for any response.

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

Trying to figure out what type of file to use in our tech manuals. We will be using a 3d product model to generate images but our publushed tech manual (.pdf) will not be interactive (all images will publish as 2d, hopefully .tiffs). I want to be able to edit and update the graphics via creo illustrate throughout production but have no 3d interaction within the finished manual. Which file format do I want to generate from creo?

Is the a DTD out there for a Operational Supplement?  We have an unusual requirement for a full COTS document to be imported into Arbortext as a supplement to a TO.

 

I have minipulated the MIL-STD-38784 DTD to accommodate almost everything but I'm having an issue with getting the Header and Footers to accommodate me with "OPERATIONAL SUPPLEMENT".  Can anyone give me some pointers?

 

Thank you,
