Content Management (Windchill Updates Reflecting in XML Content )

$
0
0

 

Greetings all,

 

My organization wants to implement better content management of technical publications. We are trying to implement the Abrotext Publishing Engine, and we’d like to if “possible” have changes to parts listed made in the PTC Windchill Product to reflect in technical manuals developed in Arbortext XML editor. By doing these we hope to keep technical manuals as current as possible. Is anyone currently doing this? and does anyone know how we can have changes made in Windchill reflect in the editor in an automated manner ?

  • Can we apply color gradient in Arbortext IsoDraw?

  • Also need to recheck if we save as .svg and if we open in IsoDraw whether we can see the layers?

Hotlinks in a List of Effective Pages

$

Hi,

I have a FOSI for a document type which generates an LEP.

The LEP is generated by outputting the relevant page info from the pagespecs I have defined and it works fine.

However, what I don't have is any hotlink between the LEP entries and the matching pages.

 

I tried setting  the 'hotlink' and 'status' attributes as I have for the TOC but to no effect.

I am beginning to think this is a limitation of generating the LEP content from the page spec rather than from the elements in the content as I have done for the TOC.

 

Does anybody know of a way to achieve hotlinks from the LEP entries?

 

Thanks

Arbortext Editor 7.0 newbie

Dear group,

 

I just had Arbortext Editor 7.0 installed on my computer by my company and I am exploring the free tutorials. Apparently, I am missing a few files used by the tutorials (i.e., MyAxDocBookXUL.xml, etc.). Where do I find them?

 

Appreciate any help you can give me.

 

Sincerely,

Segment Violation Errors

$
0
0

Hi Folks,

 

We have been using Arbortext as a publishing tool for almost a year now. So far we have not had too many issues we haven't been able to overcome. Typically our documents are between 50 - 200 rendered pages and contain images, lists, cross references, and often many tables.

 

From time to time, I get complaints from users indicating that after rendering documents multiple times, they get segment violations and Arbortext closes. The work around is to restart and keep going.

 

It seems that the more complex the tables get (cell spanning) the more likely we have issues. For fun, I took a document and copied the content many times over to see what would happen when we have a larger document - the result is Arbortext will just crash about 330 pages or so into rendering. From a system perspective, I can see memory usage climb (x32 version here) to just over 1.1 GB before the crash. The error I commonly see is editor.exe: segment violation (signal 11).

 

My question is this, how do others handle these issues and are there other settings under the covers that will allow Arbortext more memory or to process larger files? I am a bit nervous that someday soon we may run into a 600 page document that cannot be handled.

 

I looked into some of the stylesheet profiling tools - but again with the error message I am seeing - it doesn't tell me what is really happeneing. For reference we are using the APP engine and have a custom schema/stylesheet.

 

Any advise is welcome.

Thanks,

Rob.

One of our writers gets a Debug message every time she opens Arbortext Editor. The message is:

Warning: Could not find the application's symbol font. It will not be possible to display certain symbols and icons.

 

What does the message means?

How come that only one user in our team get this message. All users use the same Arbortext version.

Reset Image Numbering in PDF

Dear All,

 

The image defined in each chapter has to be in the format like "<ChapNo >- <Imageno > " where Imageno = (nth+1) position of Image.

 

Ex: If Chapter1 has 3 images , the text below 3rd image should show 1-3. Similaryl if the 3rdchapter has 1 image it should be 3-1.

 

The constrain I have here is to reset the imageno to Zero when a new Chapter starts.

 

 

Pls advise how to do it.

Mapping Service Parts to Corresponding Service Manual

$

Greetings all,

 

In an effort to improve both content and change management within our technical publications. We’d like to know if there’s a way to map service parts to any service manual referencing that particular part/s? . That is to say if a specific bolt or nut Is used across 20+ products how can we link the respect service manual to that part via PDMLink or Service Information Manager? . Which extension or native feature of Windchill allows us to do this? Can we map service instructions and parts lists to that part, so that when a change is made, that change (whether a quantity change or the obsolescence of the part)  is reflected in that service manual’s service instructions and parts lists ?

 

Manuals will be authored, and published via Arbortext and the Publishing Engine.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

-Steve

 

Multiple-selection list box

Hello,

 

In my ACL script, I need to create a dialog box to include multiple check boxes so users can select either one or more items from it.  Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to know those items ahead of time.  I'll have to open a SGML/XML file and collect all the possible selections, then create multiple check boxes for it.  Because of that, I went back to Arbortext online help to see if any other alternatives could fit my needs.  So the list_response() command was found.  But it seems to support single-selection list box only, not multiple-selection one.  Could anyone help me on it?

 

Sincerely,

Jing


Elements out of Context

$

I'm working on a file that uses the MIL-STD-3001 XML standard. When I open the file in Arbortext, it turns context rules off, telling me that an element is out of context.  Looking at the DTDs, that element is a valid child element of the parent that contains it.  Deactivating and reactivating the style sheet sometimes allows me to turn context rules back on, but the problem comes back when I open the file. Has anyone else had this experience?  Any troubleshooting tips?

Displaying Quick Tags as horizontally cascading columns

Pressing Enter displays the tags available at the cursor location. For me, a long "tall" list appears. For certain tag locations, this list extends well beyond the vertical limit of my monitor. Is there a way to show this Quick Tags list as a horizontally cascading group of columns so it goes "across" my screen (as shown below)?  I'm using Arbortext Editor/Styler 6.1. Thanks!horizontal tags list.png
