Inserting Graphics in EPIC

[Lech Rzedzicki]

I assume you are inserting the graphics using intermediate entity (the
standard way of doing this, especially in Epic). The path to the graphics is
stored in in the entity declaration.
The path can be relative or not and usually is the source of the problem.

If you're not intimate with your DTD and editing XML by hand, go to Entities
menu and Select Graphic. You can edit the pathanames there.
(If the entities menu is not displayed, go to Tools, Preferences first and
select the option "Full Menus")

If the above is not good enough, you would have to provide at least partial
DTD, "good" XML sample and "bad" XML sample, so that I know whether you use
ObjectLocator attribute to reference entities or some other technique.

Is the help id an attribute embedded in every tag?
By DTD (pre defined template) do you mean the one that shipped with Epic or
do you have own?

On the other hand  Documentum seems to be the source of the troubles, I've
never used it though.

The current version of Epic is 5.2 - it had a lot of bugs fixed, perhaps
this is the way to go.
What's more ptc.com has a big Knowledge Base for Epic Editor problems and
good support as well, I highly recommend going there as well.

Hope this helps,

Lech
