We are in the process of updating to TIA from SMA. Currently with SMA we have two stylesheets one for Editor and one for print. Is this common? What are the disadvantages if we only have one? Benefits of having two?
Thanks

disabling effect of toolbar icons in Arbortext Editor 7.0
Hi,
currently we are making tests with the newest Arbortext Editor Version 7.0. As you know the toolbar icons in this new release are renewed. The new icons are very nice and we would like to use them. The buttons are defined in the editwindow.xml. In our customization (acl-file) we use following code to show the toolbar button "activated" or "deactivated" (gray style) (we would like activate them only if the cursor is in context to insert the xml-structure):
if(in_context("emphasis") == 1)
{
dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Fett")
dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Unterstreichen")
dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Durchstreichen")
}
else
{
dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Fett")
dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Unterstreichen")
dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Durchstreichen")
}
We noticed that in Version 7.0 the effect of disabling the buttons has not much difference with the activated button. In the earlier version the user could see this difference better. To demonstrate this, please look at this screenshots:
This is how it was in Version 6.0 with bmp toolbar icons, if the buttons are activated:
This is how it was in Version 6.0 with bmp toolbar icons, if the buttons are deactivated (you can see the gray effect, at the disabled buttons):
This is how the bold toolbar looks like in Version 7.0 if the button is activated:
This is how the bold toolbar icon looks like in Version 7.0 if the button is deactivated:
As you can see, there is not much difference, so that unfortunately this new icons are not satisfactory for our use.
Must we build own icons which less saturation to make own grayed buttons, which we must show or hide in acl code? That would be not fine. Is there maybe anything wrong what we do or another way to get the desired effect (like in the earlier version) of deactivating and activating buttons?
We hope you can understand our problem. Thank you for your support in advance.
Greetings from Germany.

Hotspots in Isodraw - where to start
We are looking into adding hot spots to our images used in our online parts catalog system. Currently we supply a third party with pdfs and they add hotspot info to the images they create from the pdfs. What sort of process is it to create hotspots for an illustration. We looked the PTC tutorial and all the parts are individiaul not grouped together. If you use hotspots can you still have your image linked back to the source? Our process curently is that we use jt files and place them onto the open idr file, explode and make it presentable, add callouts, export to CGM.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

find carriage return in Arbortext Editor 6.1
Hi,
our users often copy and paste text from a pdf file into a xml file in Arbortext Editor 6.1.
If they do this, they get the carriage return into xml, which is displayed like an arrow:
Now we would like to search this carriage returns, which has the entity-code: 

Unfortunately we cannot search this returns. This is also not possible with the "find" command. The only way to find them, is the method with "find selection". But we also would like to replace them.
Anybody an idea?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Can any one suggest how to do a program
Can any one suggest how to do a program or set of instruction (like macro) which will show the errors in the authoring file (content) on running the program.
Eg: The statement should be
Correct: “put the unit in position”
Wrong: “put the unit in its position”
If we use in its position in the authoring, it should show error

I want to restore toolbar buttons missing from Arbortext Editor 7.0
We are testing Arbortext Editor 7.0, looking to replace our aging version 5.4 M050. Our testers have noticed that many of the Edit window toolbar buttons have disappeared. We would like to put them back (at least some of them). Has anyone tried to do this? I have gotten as far as looking at lib\dialogs\editwindow.xml. I see the toolbar definitions in there, so it seems like I should be able to pull out the ones we need from the 5.4 version and put them in the 7.0 version. However, the icon graphic have changed so I don't have all of the icon graphic I need in 7.0. I would appreciate any suggestions from others who might have tried to implement this kind of customization.
I looked at the PTC Arbortext Customization document, and found no help there. There is less than half a page of information on toolbars.

IsoDraw 7.1 will not open as foundation only.
Hello,
Here's a brief overview of the situation;
We have 4 licences in total at the moment, two for IsoDraw 7.1 with CADProcess and the other two for IsoDraw 7.1 Foundation, running from a licence server, the problem currently being experienced is that we cannot open IsoDraw 7.1 in foundation only mode because it defaults to opening with CADProcess thus not allowing computers to run the foundation licences.
Could the problem be caused by the command line used to launch the software (missing command, etc.)?
Command Line: C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1\Program\IsoDraw71.exe

Question about EPS conversion during ePUB Publishing
Hi Everyone,
We have traditionally published our content to PDF and so far we use EPS as the standard image format as this renders the best result. We did toy with SVG at one point, but Arbortext just rastorized it (at least at the time it did when we used V6.0).
We are embarking on producing ePUB's, but the resulting PNG files are published at 96 DPI which is too low.
Looking at the Arbortext manuals, there is a setting:
set defaultprintdpi
set defaultprintdpi= value
This command specifies the resolution value in images resulting from PTC Arbortext Editor converting SVG and PVZ images for print and PDF output. value is a positive integer specifying the resolution in dpi (dots per inch). If defaultprintdpi is not set, PTC Arbortext Editor assumes a value of 300.
However by the manual's own admission this only applies to SVG and PVZ images and only when publishing to PDF.
Is there another way to configure how Arbortext converts EPS to PNG when publishing to ePUB? Or are we stuck coming up with another image tool that must run during the publishing flow?
This relates to the Product Idea Better conversion of EPS files in Web output.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.

possible: empty page fault
I currently have a FOSI that is failing to compile/print most of the times (but not all of the time).
In the "formatter messages" window, the warning is "An empty page fault occurred."
In the event log, the warning is "Error: Failure post-processing for composer type pdf. FATAL ERROR: Operation terminated."
and
"ERROR: Runtime error formatting document: main:: Error='[A12627] Error: A fatal formatting error occurred. Refer to the formatting faults log file "file name here"."
The log file has been of no help. I am unable to consistently get this FOSI to compile or fail at the same elements or point in processing, nor does it repeat with any other FOSI.
Any ideas?

Error adding table borders in Arbortext Editor 7
Good morning Arbortexters,
After upgrading to Arbortext Editor 7, I'm getting the following message when adding borders to a table, and the borders are not applied correctly. We use a custom Fosi, so I'm not sure why there's a reference to the dflt.fos in this error. We've made no recent Fosi or DTD changes, and using that same DTD and Fosi, I can add table borders with Arbortext 5. Does anyone know how I can resolve this error?
Thanks!

Hi All,
We are using Arbortext Editor 6.0 M080 and create a contents by using DITA Task and publishing the PDF copies after adding to DITA BookMap.
My requirement now is I have 2 different manuals to publish which is having common content and few instructions are different. I have created a DITA task with common content and different instructions for different manuals in the same file.
Added this file to DITA bookmap but, I don't know how to publish manuals separately now? What is the conditions I have to define? Which file I have to modify to get this output?
I have attached a PDF which explains the conditions and also I have attached the DITA file for reference.
