Eric,

the light which most of you have enjoyed for the last 20 years. They are
going to allow us to be technical writers and actually compose a
document--radical thinking I know.
We will be moving from Quicksilver to another desktop publishing
software, which and I am pushing for Framemaker. We are moving away from
2d CAD line drawings to rendered 3D images in jpeg or tiff format. ...

In the context of changing the authoring/production process, I would also recommend looking into the inclusion of interactive 3D graphics (especially if your deliverables include PDF files).

Interactive 3D support was introduced in Acrobat Professional 7 and expanded in Acrobat 3D.
A brief overview of 3D-PDF is available at http://www.stc-israel.org.il/Album/Acrobat_April2006/Presentations/3D_Acrobat_Print.pdf

For sample PDFs containing interactive 3D graphics, authored in FrameMaker, visit: http://www.microtype.com/TimeSavers_Assistants.html#3DAsst (Acrobat/Reader 7 required)
