Unchecking "Use default catalog" Does Not Stop Framework's Catalog From Being Used

I'm trying to use Oxygen to test documents against a set of DTDs as organized for distribution to a client. These are DITA specializations that use the draft DITA 1.2 declarations, so I don't want the DITA 1.1 declarations to be involved at all. Unfortunately, it appears that Oxygen is including the DITA OT catalog from the frameworks directory even though I have "use default catalog" unchecked in my catalog options and only have my distribution-specific catalog included in the list of user-specified catalogs. Examining the catalog resolution trace I can see that references to the standard DITA declaration sets are resolving to the framework location. Is my expectation of how "use default catalog" should work correct or is there another way to disable use of the framework catalogs?

Hello, You have to remove the XML catalogs from the document type that matches that XML document. You remove the XML catalogs in the Catalogs tab of the document type edit dialog opened from menu Options -> Preferences -> Document Type Association -- the Edit button. You can avoid modifying a document type that you use more often by saving the document type for the draft DITA 1.2 at project level (the radio button Project Options in Options -> Preferences -> Document Type Association). In the next version you will just disable the document type in the Enabled column of the table with all the document types in Preferences. Regards, Sorin Eliot Kimber wrote:
