QUESTION AND ANSWER TO SOLICITATION HSCG38-17-Q-900045

Question. We reviewed the statement of work and we have a question on the requirements.

Requirement 2.2 states that the writer must be able to search a wiring diagram. This requirement is new to us and we would like more information. Specifically, we would like to understand why the search is not working currently and then determine if updating the stylesheet would correct this problem.

Answer: Since the switch to Standard Workstation IIIs and the migration from Technical Illustrator to PTC IsoDraw, the use of .cgms within PTCs Arbortext Editor published output lost the ability to search the vector wiring diagrams for specific textual content. FOSI print engine does not support searchable text within a vector image in the published PDF output.

After communication with PTC, it was determined that converting from our current FOSI to a Styler stylesheet with an APP print engine will resolve the searchable text loss of function.
