how can i set the different column width in the style sheet for the table?
there are three tables which are finished by three guys, but the column width is different in different table, can i set the column width in the style sheet to keep them accordance? thanks!
Maybe this will help, in editor we created a table then made a tag template (Tools, tag tempaltes) out of it. That way each author can insert a table that is the same size and populate it with there own content.
In the default Arbortext setup, table widths are controlled by attributes in the table markup. You cannot set the column widths in a stylesheet.
I think your best bet would be to insert something in the publishing pipeline which "normalises" table markup before it is published. That step would simply modify the table width attributes in order to produce the desired, standardised result.
Hi,
How do i get the leader fills to appear in my RTF Output ?
Hello,
I'm new to the PTC community and Arbortext and am in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I have a temporary assignment (1 year) where I need a technical author experienced in Arbortext AND who has knowledge of mechanical, industrial or refrigeration/HVAC.
Message me if you want more details.
Hii,
I am trying to load /save as server object some lacs of dita files. Is it possible to write or call acl in java or viceversa and achieve the same . If yes then how do I go about it. Please provide any other solution that will be suitable to this .
Thanks
By some lakhs, I assume you mean 100,000s of DITA files.
We have achieved this in one of our solutions but beware that if you are using Windchill, you can have problems if you have a large amount of images (say more than 20GB). In that case you will want to ensure your server has sufficient disk space for the cache vault and also look into file vaulting instead of storing all content in the database.
To your original question, the fastest way to check in that many files is to build temporary DITA maps to hold references to each of the files. You can build those DITA maps via some sort of scripts or perhaps in Java DOM. Then you will check in each DITA map one after the other. Finally you will remove all DITA maps from the Windchill server and the DITA topics themselves will remain.
We found that only a few thousand DITA topics could be linked into a DITA map successfully, so you will need many DITA maps. Perhaps you can have up to 10,000 DITA topics in a map? You will need to test on your system to see what works best.
Hope that helps.

I am getting an error message when I try to extract a UPIPCO message for a figure in Provisioning Manager.
Here are the errors I'm getting:
ORA- 01422: Exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows and
ORA- 06512: at "Aspect.Remove_Unchanged_Data", Line 307
ORA- 06512: at "Aspect.Setup_Extraction_Data_Table", Line 30
ORA- 06512: at line 1
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Does PTC list the errors for Provisioning Manager anywhere? I haven't found anything on these errors...Very frustrating...
I'm starting to study ArborText and I have a few questions. I converted fos-file (Arbortext Epic) to style-file (Arbortext 6.0) and lost some element. I need to insert name of the img file into border of picture. Please, help me!
Hello, I noticed that if I put a description within a container, and you stretch the dialog out horizontally. The description will get shorter (because there are less text wraps) but the container (box or grid) will not shrink with it.
For example, the following will work fine (if I expand the dialog, the "Second Description" will stay against the first description when it shrinks heightwise):
<groupbox scroll="vertical" orient="vertical" resize="both" pack="start">
<description width="200" multiline="true" backgroundcolor="#d6efff" resize="width">Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text</description>
<description width="200" multiline="true" resize="width" backgroundcolor="#ffffff">Second Description</description>
</groupbox>
However, if I have issues wrap the description in a box (or grid), even if I use "natural" which states “the control resizes if necessary depending on size changes in its children”. It wont resize (down) with the description, which causes a gap between the first and "Second Description":
<groupbox scroll="vertical" orient="vertical" resize="both" pack="start">
<box resize="natural">
<description width="200" multiline="true" backgroundcolor="#d6efff" resize="width">Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some TextSome Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text</description>
</box>
<description width="200" multiline="true" resize="width" backgroundcolor="#ffffff">Second Description</description>
</groupbox>
Is this a defect? Is there a workaround? Am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks
This is what we use it places our number on the RH side.
Define h As Integer
Define w As Integer
w = activeDoc.window.pageX-2
h = 2
#Message "The height is " + h
#Message "The width is " + w
#Added below command to ensure number is placed on the Illustation number layer
ACTIVATE LAYER "Illustration Number"
Select none
Text Align Left
Text font 'Arial'
Text size 6
Create Text w h stripext(activeDoc.name)
Rotate selection w h 90

Thanks you for answer! I'm sorry, but I am still a novice with Arbortext. I understand that it is some sort of script, but I don't know where I must insert it.
Sorry should have been more descriptive, the scipt is a macro. If you go to macro, record macro. It will allow you to record your actions in IsoDraw. When you save it, it will now allow you to repeat the exact same function over and over again. If you copy the script and open notepad, then save it, then rename it to an .ism file. Copy the file and paste it here C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Arbortext IsoDraw 7.3\Program\Macros. When you launch IsoDraw it should show up in the list under macros. It will probably not work right as our template has an illustration number layer. IF you record a macro from scratch it will be saved here C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\PTC\IsoDraw\Macros

Ok. Now I have understood, but I have another problem. I have a project for Arbortext 4 version. I lost some blue filename fields after automatic convertation *.fos to *.style and I would like to restore it.
Thanks. I have solved the problem myself.
Hello! I'm still learning Arbortext Editor and have a new question. How can I create this element to prevent the tag. I'm trying to use the properties of the context, but not very successfully.
With ACL language, How to enable or disable a customized menu depending the position of the cursor in the SGML document ?
Hello!
You can use a Note markup and fill the type attribute with warning. It inserts automatically the Warning text (not the image) and you just have to modify the Stylesheet to insert the image and to create the frame.
I’m using Arbortext 6.0 and using Windchill 10.0 to automatically create translations with the translations process, which comes with the Service Information Manager component.
I have a topic (Topic 1) that contains multiple conrefs to a source topic (Topic 2). Topic 2 is translated into multiple languages. I will not need to send Topic 1 with content references for translation, since all of the text in the Topic 2 has been translated. How do I get the content references to automatically reference the translated topic instead of the English, when I get the rest of the translated files back from the translation vendor?
It seems that the only way to have the translated text is to manually update all of the content references to reference the translated file in Windchill instead of the English. See examples below.
Conref examples in Topic 1 that reference text from the English and French source topic (Topic 2)
English Example: x-wc://file=0000005419.xml#Warnings-13549F07/TheFollowingWarningsAreForTheSetupU-FA8B028B
French Example: x-wc://file=0000006123.xml#Warnings-13549F07/TheFollowingWarningsAreForTheSetupU-FA8B028B
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David,
If you have customized an existing menu item, like File->Open, take a look at the help page for the menu_change ACL command, particularly the -active switch. If you are talking about a menu item that you created using the menu_add command, you'll notice it also has an -active switch.
You mention that it's a context menu, which means you'll need to use ":EditPopup.<path.to.menu_item>", like what is shown in one of the menu_change examples. EditPopup is for context menus on the main Editor document view windows (edit and docmap).
If neither of these commands help you, reply back and let us know how you create or change the menu item.
