Re: scaling to fit using image height

Hi Tim and Simon, Thanks for your replies. Yes, I understand the height concept and that it might have carried with it some inherent difficulties, Tim but I had to ask. Suffice to say that my problem was more exception rather than rule. Must be grateful for that. With your SVG suggestion, Simon, I h...

scaling to fit using image height

Hi Tim, I could not find this question already asked on forum, so here goes. Our engineering team have at times decided that creating physical drawings the size of king-single beds perfectly acceptable and, often with relatively arbitrary paper sizes. I spoze to them it is, however, when it comes to...

Re: anchors inside toggles

Hi Tim, Is there any way that opening a toggle off a hyperlink can be made to expand the toggle if you are NOT using a PP skin? I ask because our users would benefit greatly from the functionality, but because the display hardware is a machine touch-screen, flash skins won't necessarily fly. Thanks ...

table rows / columns with conditions

Hi Tim,
I don't think this is available nor if it is possible or desirable from a behind-the-scenes perspective, but to be able to select rows or columns in a table and tag them for different builds would rather spiffing in my world. :D

Re: Repository Nested Snippets

hi scotcro,

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply.

repository style changes not updating in linked projects

Hi Tim, I seem to be having difficulties with style repository updates in linked projects. I decided to make changes to styles in my repository - all cool there and the style changes are reflected in the snippet topics in the repository. I open other projects that are liked to the repository and the...

Re: snippets NOT appearing in pdf output

Hi Tim,

I am a f*%@#ng idiot :frustration: :oops: . Just checked the editor again and just noticed that a conditional text "END" thing was missing. This caused all conditional text after it to become invalidated. Yaay!! Yeehhaa!!

Re: snippets NOT appearing in pdf output

Hi Tim, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the topics are included directly in the pdf template. The search paths are actually all okay [identical], otherwise the project would not pick up any of the snippets in question. The custom builds are identical amongst all projects and the repo project. There does...

Re: SVG graphic performance

Hi Martin,

That is an interesting idea and something I may try. Thank you. If the customers can still just open the overall PDF and hit print still to create a book, that would be great. With an option of clicking a drawing to open an A3 landscape version in PDF, they may even find it appealing.

Re: SVG graphic performance

Hi Tim and Martin, Yeah, they do print the drawings off (generally A3 landscape) as to have a "workshop manual". We used to actually provide the printing service [well before my time here], but now just give em the PDF and let them sort out what they want. It is a little bit archaic, but t...

Re: is there a simpler way of doing this - massive multiple

Thanks for your suggestions, gents. I think that I will end up with multi-copies and snippets as I can envisage character set problems down the track.
