Hi everyone,
I'm trying to adjust our counters to start from "0" instead of "1". I've set the initial value to "0" for our counters, but the numbering always starts with "1" (see attached).
How do I manipulate our counters to begin with "0"?

Many languages in one topic, just one needed in pdf.
Hi, I have many paragraphs in differents languages in a same topic.
Each paragraph have xml:lang attribute like : <p xml:lang='en'>Hello World</p><p xml:lang='de'>Halo Gerrit, get's?</p><p xml:lang='fr'>Salut à tous.</p>
I want to publish this topic in pdf one time only in english and/or one time only in german and/or one time only in french.
How can I do that, just with Styler and Windows (no SIM, no PE or anything else) ?
Thanks.

Table Input Throughout A Document
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to have information from a table linked throughout a document?
In other words, if I enter data into the first table (see highlighted content in attached PDF) and I want to have multiple tables inherit that same data, is it possible to setup the tables where I only have to enter the data once in the first table?
I've included an editor view to show how the table is entered in Arbortext (see attached PNG file).

Modify-Attributes Dialog as docked window
Hi guys,
in arbortext editor 7.0 we would like to dock (right) the Modify-Attributes Dialog:
For our users it would be very helpful, to modify attributes of the current tag always in a docked attribute window.
Our aim is to dock this window, and update the element, so that every attribute of that clicked element can be changed very fast.
Therefore our plan was to reload this window if the oid_tag has changed. We tried to find this dialog as xml to try to dock this, but without success.
Do you have any other idea to realize this feature?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Greetings from Germany

Debug Message window
I am using Arbortext 7.0 F000 and obtaining the annoying Debug Message window every time I paste jpeg graphics into my document.
I have been using Arbortext 7.0 for over three months now and this started happening on the morning of 4 April 2016. I work offline. The error in the Debug Message window reads "add_psv: Cannot insert page reference due to invalid saveref". I see no saveref preference or value in advanced Preferences.
I set the pastesource preference to blank "fix" reported in the post by Steven Powell Apr 29, 2014 12:10 PM, however this did not work.
Any recommendations?

CMSSessionPutFile & CMSSessionPostPutFile events
Hi all,
I'd like to get the local path of a file (a graphic entity) added to the CMS. The Java technical documentation states that CMSSessionPutFile / CMSSessionPostPutFile events are here for that. According to the code above, these events are properly raised but the localPath variable is always empty :
Application.addEventListener("CMSSessionPutFile", new EventListener() {
@Override
public void handleEvent(Event evt) {
Application.print("CMSSessionPutFile\n");
CMSSessionFileEvent event = (CMSSessionFileEvent) evt;
EventTarget currentTarget = event.getCurrentTarget();
EventTarget target = event.getTarget();
short errorCode = event.getErrorCode();
String errorMessage = event.getErrorMessage();
String folderLogicalId = event.getFolderLogicalId();
String localPath = event.getLocalPath();
String logicalId = event.getLogicalId();
String notation = event.getNotation();
String objectName = event.getObjectName();
String result = event.getResult();
Application.print(errorCode + "_" + errorMessage + "_" + folderLogicalId + "_" + localPath + "_" + logicalId + "_" + notation + "_" + objectName + "_" + result + "\n");
}
}, true);
Application.addEventListener("CMSSessionPostPutFile", new EventListener() {
@Override
public void handleEvent(Event evt) {
Application.print("CMSSessionPostPutFile\n");
CMSSessionFileEvent event = (CMSSessionFileEvent) evt;
EventTarget currentTarget = event.getCurrentTarget();
EventTarget target = event.getTarget();
short errorCode = event.getErrorCode();
String errorMessage = event.getErrorMessage();
String folderLogicalId = event.getFolderLogicalId();
String localPath = event.getLocalPath();
String logicalId = event.getLogicalId();
String notation = event.getNotation();
String objectName = event.getObjectName();
String result = event.getResult();
Application.print(errorCode + "_" + errorMessage + "_" + folderLogicalId + "_" + localPath + "_" + logicalId + "_" + notation + "_" + objectName + "_" + result + "\n");
}
}, true);
You'll find attached all variable values for both events.
My question is: how is the localPath variable completed?
Thanks for your time.

How to change keydef name in a keydef list?
I am trying to make changes to the keydef list. Specifically, I am trying to change the name of an existing keydef. When I make the change in the navtitle I can check the file back into Windchill. When I try to make a change to the href or the topicmeta conref I get an error when I try to check in the file.
Note: I had to rename the folder and the object in Windchill. So I need the keydef to recognize that both have changed, not just the object name.
Thanks

Getting Arbortext to open with writeunspecifiedattrs=all by default
Hi,
I have been playing with this functionality and have a requirement to have Arbortext write the DTD defined default attribute values. Executing the command after opening the application works as expected but is there any way to set this as a default value and not have to re-execute the command every time the application opens?
Thanks!

Importing word into structured text and html.
I have several word documents with the typical content (text, tables, figures). My goal would be to automagically convert these word documents into structured text, which could then be formatted into html. How can i import a word document into arbortext (do i need a separate import/export tool or something like that)? I have a trial license and i only see the arbortext editors in my start menu, no import tool.

Which one is better? IsoDraw and Creo Illustrate
Hi,
I am working as an technical illustrator. I installed some softwares as following.
- Autodesk Inventor
- PTC Creo Parametric
- PTC IsoDraw CADprocess
- CorelDraw
- Windchill
- Arbotext Editor
I have two working process
- Open 3D model in Inventor > Create 2D drawing as CAD file > Open the drawing in CorelDraw > Modify the drawing and export it to SVG
- Open 3D model in IsoDraw > Create 2D drawing as CGM > Open CGM in CorelDraw > Modify the drawing and export it to SVG
I upload SVG to Windchill one by one.I think it will be easy to use if there is a link between Isodraw and Windchill.
There are two choices for me. IsoDraw and Creo Illustrate. I want to know which one is better.
Thanks.

How do you select the DTD for a XML file?
Hi,
First time I have opened a XML file I was asked to browse for a XML Schema or a DTD.
I selected a DTD, but it was the wrong DTD file.
Now I want to select another DTD file for my XML file. But I can't find any option to select a new DTD, and every time I open a XML file it has the first selected DTD, which is wrong!
How can I select a new DTD for my XML files?
Thank you

How to turn off DITA linktext in Arbortext when Insert Preview Link Text is on
Hi:
Our writers are using Arbortext 6.1 M060. Is there some setting or customization available to turn off linktext elements when using Preview Link Text for link lists? Selecting Insert Preview Link Text in DITA preferences works fine for xrefs, but not for links in linklists.
The following link structure in link lists is a bug as inserting <? type statements in <linktext> will logically render an empty link in DITA processors like DITA OT, which will then have nothing to link, generating empty Related Topics sections (I have confirmed this):
<link format="dita" href="SomeFile.dita" scope="local" type="concept"><linktext><?Pub _previewtext text="Some Title or Text"?></linktext></link>
This is basically saying "insert emptiness" for the link text as the DITA processor will ignore <? type statements by design.
The form should be without linktext:
<link format="dita" href="c_Customizing_ribbons_and_Quick_Access_toolbars_aw1163702.dita" scope="local" type="concept"><?Pub _previewtext text="Some Title or Text"?></link>
This will allow Arbortext to display preview text to the writer while letting the processor pull the title for the actual link in HTML during build time. The completeness check in Arbortext runs fine using this format.
Obviously turning off preview link text will force the DITA processor to grab the title text for the link at build time, but then our writers will lose the extremely valuable feature of seeing their links previewed in Arbortext while authoring.
Writers should not have to fix this format by hand every time they build a link list, which is actually quite a tricky maneuver in Arbortext. I can set up a pre-build script to strip the linktext in linklists when using text previews, but I would rather not. Linktext should not appear in the first place when using link previews in link lists as linktext with--in effect--empty text makes no sense to processors.

symbol drop-down list is empty for schema
We have recently changed from DTD to a schema. Since doing so we have lost our entities/symbols from the drop-down list. From what I have read on this forum site, it appears that PTC has not made an atempt to resolve this issue. I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution. I would appreciate if anyone could provide a few suggestions. Thanks
