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
Hi All,
Is there any option to open / import pdf file into Isodraw CAD Process 7.3?
Thanks,
Push.
When I try to open an element in Astoria Workbench, Arbortext opens a pathname instead of the actual content. Why would this be? I am working on a virtual desktop that accesses a remote server.
To create our xml documents I’m using Arbortext Editor (http://www.ptc.com/service-lifecycle-management/arbortext/editor )
What is the bug to solve ?
When I create new entities, I have to declare it in the .acl file (edqm_ent_E_W7.acl). We have to declare it in the .dtm file (dbgenentEN.dtm) too.
Sometimes, colleagues forget to declare these new entities in the .dtm file (dbgenentEN.dtm).
It generate the bug I need to solve, when we run the script in Arbortext Editor (this script runs in fact edqm_ent_E_W7.acl. It marks up our xml file).
The bug is :
I run the routine in Arbortext Editor. Ifthe acl file doesn’t find the entity in dtm file, Arbortext Editor deletes the text instead of keeping it (through ‘’break’’ command) or replace it by the specified text (in the example here : if ($Error>0) {ie PhEur}).
With this command, if there is an error, it should mark up with ‘’ ie PhEur ‘’.
Why our xml editor delete the text?
To understand better what the bug is, watch the video capture : https://youtu.be/aM4mP6S4ol0
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?
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks for your time.
Hello,
since the installation of Isodraw 7.3, I have a problem with the selection rectangle which is not visible
The drawn objects are no longer visible until finishing the drawing of the object
Does someone know how to correct this ?
Thanks in advance

Our corp comm group just started using a service like widen to store images. We are a long ways off from thinking about Arbortext so just collecting information for myself right now.
My company is replacing Adobe Acrobat with Nuance PowerPDF. Currently we set our default printer to "Adobe PDF" and Arbortext creates a PDF file after composition. I have a few questions:
1. We get Acrobat Distiller with our Acrobat installation. When I set my default printer to "Adobe PDF" is Distiller being used? I can't see how it is connected to Distiller. I uninstalled Distiller and Acrobat and I was still able to compose PDF files from Arbortext Editor. I am trying to ensure that when we lose Acrobat and Distiller we will still be able to compose to PDF; I don't know why I still can compose PDF without Distiller installed. Perhaps "Adobe PDF" is actually a different program? The Printer Properties don't tell me anything.
2. Has anybody ever used Nuance with Arbortext Editor? If so, could you tell me how to set it up.
We have an ancient system (5.3) that was installed before my time, sp there is a lot I don't know. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am setting the "Vertical adjust amount" property to an attribute for which the element is a graphic. The graphic is aligning correctly when publishing to PDF with FOSI engine, however, when publishing with APP engine it is not using the attribute to set the "Vertical adjust amount" and therefore, the graphic is appearing incorrectly. I have searched the documentation but there is no specific mention as in how to set the "vertical adjust amount" in APP. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi,
I have one .iges file (3D Model) and related Bill of material. Every time i have explode the parts manually.
Any one known " auto explode using BOM" Please suggest me.
Hi Guys,
Anyone know how to explode the parts automatically, based on the BOM table? Please let me know.
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.

Pls see the attached file and kindly give me a positive reply of this question.
With Isoview and using JavaScript language, how to list all the objects of an illustration and how to get the objects Id?
I try to use the atidmd markup in a FOSI for an SGML document to generate metadata and genenerate PDF bookmarks, but no metadata and no bookmark is generated.
Example of code used :
<usetext
source='!<atidmd:DocumentMetaData source="atend"><atidmd:DocView mode="bookmarks" fit="fitPage" destination="1"></atidmd:DocView><atidmd:DocInfo><atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Key>Title</atidmd:Key><atidmd:Value>Title value</atidmd:Value></atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Key>Author</atidmd:Key><atidmd:Value>Author value</atidmd:Value></atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Entry><atidmd:Key>Subject</atidmd:Key><atidmd:Value>Subject value</atidmd:Value></atidmd:Entry></atidmd:DocInfo></atidmd:DocumentMetaData>!'
placemnt="after"></usetext>
Do you know why atidmd markups doesn't work ?
I have tried this code with an XML document and It works.

Has PTC formally retired the Arbortext Change Page Application for Defense product? (I looked for general notices but did not find any.) If so, what are some alternative products to generate change pages (and LEOPs) for 38784-type publications?
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.
I want to be able to restrict an attribute's enumerated values presented for user selection without modifying the XML schema - can this be done with ACL?
