You need to offer Illustrator as part of a TechComm Suite package.

Just about EVERY technical manual I've ever seen includes graphics of some sort. The omission of any graphics applications in the suite is glaring.

Possible options to offer:
TechComm Suite Plus - include Illustrator
TechComm Suite Pro - include Illustrator and Photoshop

Carla,

What could you possibly do in Illustrator that cannot be done with
Frame's drawing tools? [g, r, & d]

...Mike

n.b. Sounds like a good idea. Post it here:

Hi, Carla:

Would incorporating a subset of Illustrator features into FM work? What features would you want in the subset?

It might help in some cases, but we do all of our "heavy" illustrations (line art taken from CAD drawings) in Illustrator. For what we'd need to manage those, it would probably bloat Frame considerably.

Eek! Insofar as I see graphics creation and editing as its own workflow, I believe that would be a big mis-allocation of effort...

Having said that, if Adobe has some spare development cycles to throw at FrameMaker, I'd rather the company focus on creating a cost-effective, fully standards compliant, completely DITA Open Toolkit compatible version of the product that gets a new major version more than once every five (or more) years...

Quite right, Riley horses for courses, and small (well, relatively ...) small tools to do specific jobs; a tool-box rather than a [probably trademarked] Swiss Army knife
