How to change the default SGML Declaration which is used to compile XML Document type ?

$
0
0

Hello,

 

On Arbortext Editor 6.1, I want to compile a DTD (XML)  but the document type did not compile successfully.

On Arbortext Editor 6.0, the document type compile successfully..

Perhaps, this problem is linked with the SGML Declaration which is used to compile XML Document type.

Can you help me?

 

Below, the error message during the compilation:

 

Dtgen.exe Parser Error:

While parsing file C:\Logiciel\Atelier_Epic\config_CR\auf210\EPIC43\dm\dtd\common.ent:

Tag minimization declarations are mandatory when OMITTAG is enabled.

O or - entries must be added to the refipc element declaration

(err:599  line:263  pos:13158)

Compile failed - rc=32

Arbortext fonts and tags too large or too small

$
0
0

Has anyone had problems with the fonts or the tags in Arbortext appearing either way too small or way too big? If so, has the size of either changed every time you opened a new document?

 

I have been having issues where every time I open a document, my tags appear enormous and my text so small you can't read it. If you zoom in to read the text, the tags get even bigger and take up the whole screen, making it difficult to author. If I close out of the document and reopen it, the tags are bigger than the last time, and the text even smaller.

 

I tried using the suggestions in another thread that was actually started on my behalf and met with limited success. (Changing tag display size in Arbortext Editor)

 

If I set my preferences to match those of my teammates, it looks like this:

 

In order to make the text readable, I can use the "set fontpercent=" function, but have to put it at something crazy like 200 or higher. Then I get something like this:

Its workable, but not optimal, and rather annoying.

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software five times. I deleted all of the PTC folders I could find off my C drive with each uninstall, hoping there was some personal setting caught in them that was causing the problem. I have deleted the cache files multiple times.

 

I was originally running the 32-bit version and hoped that was the problem, so I installed the 64-bit version the last time. The problem was the same, only in a different way. My book outline was enormous, my text was normal, and my tags were minuscule. It doesn't want to save my views after I adjust them like it is supposed to. So zoom in, out, in, and the next time I open the same or a different document, I have to do it again.

 

If anyone can help me with this issue, I would be incredibly grateful. It makes working in Arbortext difficult and is starting to become a real downer.

Legacy Eagle 8 & 8.1 compatability query

$

0

Hi,

 

I'm looking at the early stages of a project to migrate our legacy Eagle environments to a common platform and where practical database and product version ahead of a significant version uplift to current products and need to find the answer to questions that have arisen. Any sensible help appreciated.

 

Can we use Eagle v8.0.0 to access data held in an Eagle v8.1.0 database ?

What are the likely issues or limitations we will encounter ?

Is it still possible to obtain the installers and DB migration scripts for these old versions if required ? (and if so where)

 

I cannot find any mention of these old versions (or Eagle) on the main PTC site and it has been some time since I've had direct involvement with them, so I'm probably way out of date (like the products !).

 

Thanks.

How to trim IsoDraw illustration outside vdc extent

Hello all, we are placing jt files on our templates. We resize and contour fill until it looks correct. We then export to a cgm. We have been having some issue with excessive file size due to all the information outside the vdc extent also converts. We have set editor to not to display anything outside this vdc extext, but the cgm are being quite large slowing down publishing. What we have been doing to alleviate this, is create a box filled with a color then place it over the excess illustration outside the template. Select element, optimize, remove covered elements. Then it removes anything that is covered. We do have a frame around our template. Is there away to automate this procedure?

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.

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

Dear Users

 

I am looking for a solution to frame xpath logic to compare attributes.


<menucontainerid="menu1"op="o3"indicator="highlight">
<menubox>
<menutitle>TITLE</menutitle>
<menuoptionlist>
<menuoptionid="o1">Select a path from below :</menuoption>
<menuoptionid="o2">IMAGE1</menuoption>
<menuoptionid="o3">IMAGE2</menuoption>
<menuoptionid="o4">IMAGE3</menuoption>
<menuoptionid="o5">IMAGE4</menuoption>
<menuoptionid="o6">IMAGE5</menuoption>
</menuoptionlist>
</menubox>
</menucontainer>


Here I want to compare menucontainers op value (op="03") against the menuoption id's.So here the ideal match would be IMAGE2. And I would be highlighting the IMAGE2 in red colour.

I tried //menublock/menucontainer/@op= //menublock/menucontainer/menuoptionlist/menuoption/@id

but it is not dynamic.It checks first result and applies the same result everywhere.pls help in framing the xpath .

 

pls help

XSL-FO support in Publishing Engine 7.0

$

0

Hi Folks--

 

I know that in previous versions of PE (<=6.x), XSL-FO support was implemented in a multi-stage approach, where the document is transformed into XSL-FO markup, and then a dynamically generated FOSI is used to create the final output. Can anyone verify whether that is still the case in PE 7.0? There was talk a while back of developing XSL-FO support via APP rather than via FOSI, but I haven't heard whether that actually went anywhere.

 

Thanks!

Dear Users,

 

I have a XML structure as below and have context created as listitem/bulletedlist/stem . Stem is a Para element. Here I wanted bulletedlist to be ignored in .style so that stem does not move to next line (pls see CURRENTOUTPUT) so that it behaves like EXPECTED OP.

 

In short is it possible to ignore or make a element behave like para . I am using APP Engine.

 

<orderedList>

<ListItem>

<bulletedList>

<stem> This is STEM Element</stem>

<ListItem> List A</ListItem>

<ListItem> List B</ListItem>

<ListItem> List C</ListItem>

</bulletedList>

</ListItem>

<ListItem>Demo List 2

</ListItem>

</orderedList>



CURRENT OUTPUT :

1

This is STEM Element

  • List A
  • List B
  • List C

2 Demo List 2


EXPECTED OUTPUT :

1 This is STEM Element

  • List A
  • List B
  • List C

2 Demo List 2



Pls advice.

How to trace an error during composition

$
0
0

Hi Folks,

 

I am currently testing out our Arbortext customizations/environment using Arbortext 7.0 M030 (as we are planning on an upgrade from Arbortext 6.1 M020).

 

So far, I have managed to fix the toolbar issues (it seems some button icons were not recreated using the newest style) - this was fairly simple to create some new buttons based on the old design. - so this works. and I also fixed a few other issues with our toolset.

 

However, while PDF composition appears to work well with our current custom stylesheet/schema setup, I have noticed the following error in our event log after the publishing cycle ends:

 

ERROR: File Save Error: The file "{#APPStyler}_compose.$$$" could not be created.

ERROR: Cannot access file "{#APPStyler}_compose.3ns"

 

I have been tracing through various acl files, etc trying to determine where Arbortext may be trying to save a file that resembles this - however, as I am sure most of you know, the publishing process is fairly complicated.

 

I did find a file called _compose.3ns in the \Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\app\libs\APPStyler folder - which resembles the file mentioned in the error log. However, I can't imagine that Arbortext would be attempting to save a file within the program files folder.

 

So how would one approach trying to determine what part of the process has failed. Clearly I am getting output, but I don't like seeing errors in logs.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob.

Hello! For several months now I have been working with IsoDraw. Sometimes I have the situation that I have to delete a line for a drawing and for example, behind the line, there is an ellipse. The contour of the ellipse is then not closed. Is there a command to close the contour, or two lines to hand its course to Combine?

Sorry, for my bad English and thank you for your help!

Custom keyboard shortcuts in IsoDraw 7.0?

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to customize keyboards shortcuts in IsoDraw 7.0? I know that there is a default set of keyboard shortcuts but I am interested in making my own. I have searched high and low for the answer to this and everything I have read thus far leads me to believe it is not possible. I cannot believe IsoDraw has not implemented this type of functionality into their software at this day and age.
