Tech Illustrator Product Editions
Tech Illustrator™: Professional Edition
Auto-trol™ Ti™ Professional Edition is the flagship of Auto-trol's technical publishing product suite.
Powerful drawing, editing, graphics transformation, and annotation tools--designed specifically for professional
technical illustrators--enable creation of precise illustration graphics that accurately communicate product views.
The product views, in turn, are utilized in illustrated assembly, operation, maintenance and repair procedures.
In addition to intuitive onscreen menus, Ti provides keyboard shortcuts, a powerful command and macro language
for the experienced user, and unique drawing tools and 3D capabilities not found in other illustration systems.
Illustrations created with Ti can be output to a variety of commercial and MIL-spec publishing formats. This powerful
software application can be used off-the-shelf, or readily customized to address site-specific requirements. Ti's
Application Programming Interface (API) allows you to break through barriers imposed by artificial glass ceilings,
via customization of the software tools and graphical user-interface (GUI) to address site-specific needs.
Auto-trol's Professional Services team is available to enable your realization of the full
power/productivity-enhancing potential afforded by product customization.
TiAuthor™
Auto-trol's TiAuthor™ is a graphics authoring application developed for technical authors. Whereas creation of technical illustrations is the domain of tech illustrators and production artists, technical authors address follow-on tasks required to incorporate illustrations into documentation. Such tasks include the review and markup process, incorporation of artwork into publications, and the hotspotting and linking of art within web publications. Sharing the same native file format and data conversion formats as Ti, TiAuthor is a streamlined tool for addressing the technical authoring task.
