set appconfigfile
set appconfigfile=filename
This command specifies an alternate location for an .appcf PDF configuration file for the PTC APP engine.
The command may have one of three values:
• " " (empty string) — the command is ignored
• absolute path to an .appcf PDF configuration file
Local composition: Arbortext Styler will attempt to use the file indicated. If the file does not exist, cannot be read, is not an PTC APP configuration file, or is an PTC APP configuration file but does not support the type of operation being performed, it is ignored.
PE composition: Arbortext Editor or Arbortext Styler will look for an exact match in the list of known PTC APP configuration files for the PE server. If there is a match, and the file in question supports the type of operation being performed, the file will be used. Otherwise the option will be ignored.
• simple filename, i.e. filename.appcf
Both local and PE composition will scan the list of known PTC APP configuration files to find a matching filename that supports the kind of operation being performed. If there is a match., that PTC APP configuration file will be used. If there's no match, this option will be ignored.
The list of known PTC APP configuration files is built by searching directories on the PE server (for PE composition) or directories on the local machine (for local composition) for APP configuration files (.appcf). Files found in a directory are added to the list in alphabetical order.
The directory search order is:
1. (Local composition only) The directory containing the document instance
2. Each custom doctype directory for the document being composed
If the document's doctype is D, and the list of custom directories contains c1, c2, and c3, the directories c1/doctypes/D, c2/doctypes/D, and c3/doctypes/D will be searched.
The custom directory search order is determined by the order they are declared in APTAPPLICATION and APTCUSTOM.
3. The document's doctype directory in Arbortext-path
4. app subdirectories of each custom directory (order of custom directories is determined as specified in (2) above
5. The app subdirectory in Arbortext-path
6. (Local composition only) Any PTC APP configuration files explicitly browsed during the current Arbortext Editor or Arbortext Styler session

If PE composition is enabled, the custom doctype and app directories, and the Arbortext-path doctype and app directories, are on the PE server. There is no way to choose an PTC APP configuration file on the local machine and have it transmitted to the PE server.

Example:
set appconfigfile=memo.appcf
