Working with a FrameMaker plugin called Eclipse

[Clara Hall]

Thank you for the responses to my inquiry about a group that deals specifically with aviation documentation.  There does not seem to be one.  Has anyone used a FrameMaker plugin called Eclipse from Mekon, an English company.  The FrameMaker plugin converts documents that currently follow ATA100 to ATA2200.  The result of this conversion is a more topic driven (task>subtask) structure.  The Eclipse plugin goes a long way to make the conversion pretty painless if you have good templates to start with, which thankfully I do.

My question is with one of the changes this conversion requires.  ATA2200 does not like pictures in you CMMs.  They want wire diagrams.  I have several pictures currently in my CMMs to show the assembly and disassembly of a product which is comprised of 60-80 different parts.  How in the world can they now expect me to get wire diagrams to replace the pictures?  Has anyone else dealt with this?  If I go to the engineering department and ask them to please provide me wiring diagrams they are going to laugh at me.  I am starting to think that I will just have to omit all my pictures and do a really good job on the instructions.  It's just that there is nothing like a picture.

Thank you in advance
