Export Reusable Object
The reusable object support allows you to select a task, reference, concept, or body element and export it as a reusable object. These reusable objects may be inserted in as many different documents as you wish. Editing of the reusable objects is fully supported. Updating occurs automatically on document open, and there is a menu item for manual update triggering.
Making a topic, concept, reference, or
task reusable
Place your insertion point in the task, concept, reference or task
information where you would like to create the reusable object. (This will take
the topic, concept, reference or task element and its associated children
elements and use it as the reusable object content.)
Export as usable Object by right clicking on paragraph
Choose the Save As Dialog box
This creates a DITA compliant XML document and inserts the correct
path in the conref attribute value
Note: As of March 2006, our reusable object system is the only 100 percent DITA-compliant solution for Adobe FrameMaker that we are aware of. As a user, you should know that several "DITA-compliant" applications are not, in fact DITA compliant in the area of reusable objects.
DITA compliant reusable objects (conref populated)
are now a reality for FrameMaker 7.2 and 8 Users.
Expand the elements within the Structured View
Place your insertion point within the Structured View where you want
to place in the reusable object.
Right-click and then select Insert Reusable Object
In the Open File window, select the DITA compliant XML document that
was created using the Export Reusable Object plug-in.
Create or Insert Reusable objects into your FrameMaker document and update

Once you've inserted the reusable object into
your FrameMaker document, this reusable object is locked. If the user double-clicks
the reusable object, you will see the screen to your right letting you know
that the information is locked. You have the ability to edit it if you
need to.
