ATA iSpec 2200 Rev 2021.1

[frameexpert]

Hi All, I am helping a client produce AMM and IPC documentation for a particular aircraft. They have purchased the DTDs etc., but I am a little fuzzy on setting up a FrameMaker structured application based on these DTDs. I can open the DTD with FrameMaker as SGML and get an EDD, but I do get some parser errors. I need to ask my client more questions, like what are their deliverables, etc.

 I need some help getting started and have budget for this. Is there other information that I need to get from my client? Thank in advance.

Setting it all up is a bit like eating an elephant...it's best to take it one bite at a time!

If the structapp isn't something you can purchase off the shelf from someone like Mekon, then it'll depend on developing structures for using what will be provided (XML, unstructured content), and developing structures for exactly what they need to deliver (PDF, XML, IETM)

Can a FrameMaker structured application be purchased for the ATA iSpec 2200? Any information would be appreciated.

As Matt mentioned, you may want to check with Mekon:

Not sure about pricing, as it is a plugin and not just a structured application. Here's an older post too:
