Hello,

 

I exported svg from isodraw 7.1 and imported in editor 6.1. The pdf output does not come very well. If export the same image to eps it comes perfect.

I have attached screenshot and svg file

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

Abortext ''New Page' ( ) and Mil-Std 40051-2B DTD-Stylesheet Output w/Print Composer PDFs

Background (Working with Arbortext 6.1 M030 w/Print Composer for PDFs and Mil-Std 40051-2B DTD-Stylesheets)

 

Since the latest US Army LOGSA update round to Version 5.0, it seems that the Abortext ''New Page' command ( <?Pub _newpage?> ) either no longer works or is severely curtailed. We typically used this command in the past, to help format content somewhat, as the LOGSA DTD / Stylesheet combo produces a pretty abysmal output to PDF using Print Composer.

 

However, in the latest interation, the PDFs look really awful (pages break wherever, in between warning icons and warning text, between figures and the preceding steps, with no rhyme nor reason to content organization, hierarchy, dependency, or even Mazlov's hierarchy of needs.... (just checking).

 

Questions:

 

1. I'm looking for a way to 'right the ship' and get back to providing quality PDF (deliverable requirement) back to the soldiers. Anyone else experiencing (or have experienced) this and has any thoughts or suggestions?

 

2. Does the print server version (instead of Print Composer) do this too with Mil-Std 40051-2B and Arbortext 6.1? Or is this just a 'feature' for small shops and Print Composer only PDF-ing?

 

3. Is there a (not too convoluted - temporary) way to delve into the stylesheet files, and prevent the stylesheet from ignoring the <?Pub _newpage?> ?

 

Any/all thoughts, insights or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

 

Regards all,

Hello gurus!!

 

I'm having an issue with one of my implementations in the Arbortext Editor, as you might see, I'm receiving the message from the image I'm attaching, does anybody know how  to manage virtual memory space in the editor? Is that possible?

 

In advance I appreciate your time and help.

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?


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 know you can highlight it and choose edit, fit elements. This will center it but it will scale it to fit the square. Is there an automatic way to center the object on the page without scaling it?


Drag and Drop issues in Arbortext 7

$

Hello everyone,

 

Have you seen any issues with Drag and Drop in Arbortext Editor 7?  We're seeing behavior where selected text jumps to the middle of the screen when trying to drag it to a new location.  This is most obvious in tables, but also occurs with other tags.  I haven't found any sort of advanced preference that would control something like this.  Deleting the preferences file does not help.

 

This issue is particularly noticeable when selecting text towards the bottom of the Arbortext window and trying to drag it to the top part of the window, especially when a table takes up the entire window.  As soon as I begin to move the text, the file window scrolls so the selected text is suddenly relocated vertically to the middle of the screen.  This does not occur in Arbortext 5.4, and I don't know about Arbortext 6 behavior.

 

Have any of you seen this and know how to resolve it? 

 

Thanks!

APP Perl Upgrade Question

$
0
0

Hello Users!

We need your input.

We have started looking into upgrading the version of Perl that we ship with APP to 5.20, which is the latest stable version we can use without a huge amount of work. However, we have uncovered some unexpected problems including that the newer version of Perl, once integrated into APP, will not be compatible with ActiveState.

Some things to consider:

  • We (PTC) have never ‘officially’ supported the use of ActiveState with APP.
  • The newer version of Perl may be quicker (no guarantees, but some people have reported performance improvements in some use cases).
  • The newer version of Perl will differ from the older version, so some testing by you will be necessary and perhaps changes needed to your Perl scripts.

So, my question to you all is: Do you want us to go ahead with the upgrade or not? Our inclination at the moment is not…

Please let me know either through the user group (or directly if you’d rather).

Thanks!

Simon

Unable to import IGES files into IsoDraw 7.3

$

Hi, I was recently updated from IsoDraw 7.1 to  7.3.  I am no longer able to import IGES files from PTC Creo Parametric into the updated version on IsoDraw. Previously I would "save as" out of PTC with Surfaces selected in the Export IGES Geometry.  I was able to open that into IsoDraw 7.1 fine.  Now when I choose the same selection in IsoDraw 7.3 nothing appears when I open that file in IsoDraw, it is a blank screen.  When I export with Wireframe edges selected I am able to get that file to open in IsoDraw however it is unusable. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

 

I have also noticed that several of the 3D tool options are missing from the tool bar, such as wireframe, HLR, Rendering, 3D select axis, etc. Those were all tools that I used. With 7.3 my tool list now displays with a 3D with a lock on it.  What does that mean?

Possible to use XML schema with the FOSI panels in Doc Architect?

$

Just wondering, have a guy working on some S1000D screen FOSIs, but not being a FOSI guy or having ready access to styler, is there a way to open, for instance, the crewSchema.xsd as a doctype, and allow for opening a test doc to use the FOSI panels?

 

Been goofing with directory structures, URI catalog entries, the closest I can get is doc arch will open the crewSchema without error, but errors when trying to open a test doc.

 

Is this just a limitation of doc arch, or is there another way?

 

thanks,

The question I have deals with error detection within Arbortext.

$

Hello - The question I have deals with error detection within Arbortext.  Background:  I work in a group of 6 engineers that write service documentation using the SGML verion of Arbortext. This group includes a single book-boss, who is the most expert in SGML editor tools, including Arbortext.

 

I typically work on small books (100 - 200 pages) that are combined into larger books that amount to in excess of 4,000 pages.  When the junior writers submit smaller files (IDE) to the book-boss, one task performed by the book-boss is to remove formatting problems and things that might cause problems with the book to build without error.  I recently submitted a small book (<100 pages) IDE file to the book boss that had a syntax error that was not detectable using the "Completeness Check" or "Green Checkmark" or the publishing tool used to build.

 

It was discovered after three days of debugging at the larger book level (>4,000 pages) that the error I introduced was an extraneous "newline" command at the end of an ordered list (within a proper division).  In this case, nothing was entered after the "newline" command, so essentially a "newline" to nothing was the issue.  With the small book (<100 pages) there was no indication whatsoever an error existed. Several attempts to break the 4,000 page book up into smaller 1,000 page books and publish indicated the same: No Error. However, when the larger book went to publish (a 2.5 hour build time, each time) a fatal error occurred.  The Arbortext tool didn't issue any clue or error description of the "newline" to nothing fatal error before or after the build.

 

The process to find the error was the fine tooth comb method that was trial and error as the culprit IDE file was initially unknown.  This process took roughly 3 days of the book-boss's time.

 

Question: Are there error detection tools within Arbortext besides Completeness Check (Green Checkmark) or the ultimate publish the book and hope for the best method.

 

Suggestion-Question: If not, is PTC working on improving error detection so that hidden errors in small books go detected early in the documentation process before they make it into the larger books, making it painstaking to resolve errors, in the case above, a minor syntax error.

 

Thank you, William Howell


Isodraw Missing Elements.

Hi,

 

I am looking for a solution in Arbortext Isodraw 7.3, Currently i am using Arbortext Isodraw 7.3 to explode 3d models and converting it into 2d, the problem here is after converting the 3d model into 2d the elements are getting miss.For Example : The ellipse and the lines are not joining well. Pls see the attached file and kindly give me a positive reply of this question.

Isodraw placed object: how do you center it?

I know you can highlight it and choose edit, fit elements. This will center it but it will scale it to fit the square. Is there an automatic way to center the object on the page without scaling it?

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.
