Wo sind die Cliparts unter FrameMaker 2019?

hallo,

bis FrameMaker 2017 gab es im Hilfe-Menü einen Tab Clipart (oder Cliparts).

Dieser ist in FM 2019 nicht mehr vorhanden.

Weiß jemand, wo die sehr hilfreichen Cliparts jetzt zu finden sind oder wurden die "eliminiert" in FM 2019?

schöne Grüße

Hi Astrid,

you can blame me for this 🙂

Yes, we have removed the clip arts in FrameMaker 2019. When reviewing the whole of FrameMaker for "legacy stuff", they were among the first things, I suggested to remove. I also interviewed many long term users and asked in several mailing lists/user forums, if anyone is using these old clip arts (created in 1993). 100% answered, they never used them because they are too old and do not fit into the modern look and feel of their documentation and encouraged us to remove them.

If you need them, please send me a PM, with your e-mail address, and I'll be happy to send them to you.

Kind regards,

Stefan Gentz

Hello Stefan,

thanks for answering. It would be very nice of you to send me your Clipart collection. Thanks a lot.

I always used the arched/curved mirrors for ventilation directions (air in/out) for our system housings, so I definitely used them.

Anyway, me and my colleagues miss “Word” or “Visio shape” functionalities  in FrameMaker, such as curved  or arched arrows or modern cliparts with shadow, etc.

Maybe for  next FM versions, you could suggest to implement this in the FrameMaker tool box (pods) ? That would be perfect.

Nevertheless, thank you very much for answering and for your Clipart collection which I will be waiting for.

Kind regards

Hi,

how do I "PM" to get the files. I've never PM'd before...

"Private Message" - just hover your mouse over the person's name and a pop up will appear - within that pop up, select "Message" to start a PM with them.
