I am new to on-line electronic communication. I am unfamiliar with electr=
onic
protocol. If it is impolite to introduce one-self, the rudeness in
unintentional. I own and operate a technical publication production busin=
ess.
My area of strength is technical illustration. I hope to offer insight in=
to
this portion of the technical publishing process. I felt it was necessary=
to
make this announcement because most communication in forums such as this
revolve around technical writing and publishing. STC meetings generally
revolve around the same. =
I look forward to your questions regarding technical illustrations, both
traditional and electronic. The people in my shop operate both MAC and PC=
platforms and use most illustration and page layout programs.
Let me throw out a question (of which I know the answer).
Can you name me one technical illustration or =93drawing=94 software prog=
ram that
can import (or Open) an IGES or DXF file, edit and enhance it then export=
(or
Save) the file in the MIF (native FrameMaker image) format? Thus creating=
a
complex technical illustration that can be edited while in a FrameMaker
layout using the FrameMaker drawing tools?
One more question (of which I DON=92T know the answer).
Is there a method to prevent the =93Headers=94 information from appearing=
on the
responses?
