Here's the list of the top 5 resources new Arbortext customers should know about. If you're an Arbortext User, you should know about these resources:
- Arbortext 101: Best Practices for Configuring, Authoring, Styling, and Publishing with Arbortext: This book gives you everything you need to establish a good foundation with your Arbortext environment. It's short and to the point.
- Arbortext Monster Garage Season 3: Recordings of webinars that cover advanced topics of interest to Arbortext users. The complete video archive is free to Arbortext TPC Affinity Group members and individual subscribers to the Knowledge Base Forums.
- The Arbortext ACL Code Archive: Over the years, members of the adepters mailing list found they referred to several historical posts on a regular basis. To simplify their own information retrieval and to preserve that knowledge in a neutral location, they created a website pulling the best of the archive out and posting it there. If you're going down the ACL road and customizing your Arbortext environment, there's some really good information in the Arbortext ACL Code Archive. In 2016, this site moved to the TC Dojo Forums, available to Affinity Group members.
- Arbortext @ PTC Communities: Archives from the long-running Arbortext mailing list, adepters, was moved to the Arbortext forum @ PTC Communities. PTC staff and product managers monitor the forums along with many long-time users. The earliest messages date from 1996. If you have a question, it's a really good resource.
- Arbortext User Group: The Arbortext User Group has a pretty good presence online. There's a forum @ PTC Communities, a LinkedIn group, a Facebook Group, a Meetup Group, and a YouTube channel with copies of recordings from previous meetings.
Those are the top 5 resources, but I'll add one more resource as a bonus:
