My idea is that you’d share the prototype with your BA or those responsible for the detailed specs and they would use a special “player” (or some kind of browser plugin) that would allow them to click through the prototype and add comments/specs to whichever UI elements, pages, views, etc needed them. I’d argue that the UX/UI community would find it easier to work with if there was a “spec player” for the prototype. We simply can’t use the spec/doc features in Axure and it is the weakest link in their chain. I’ll bet you Axure could get a lot of help if they wanted to open-source or otherwise use their user-base to robustify the spec stuff. I’d like to see more people join in on this conversation because there are so many more layers to peel back. A single page can have many tags and can even include conditional logic to show/hide content. For example, I could create a new template that is 17x11 and input special Axure tags where I want content to be inserted.

I’d like to see the Axure team advance the software in this area by allowing more control over the output and the template.

When the spec generator was created it was designed to produce documentation for business analysts and software engineers, not for presentations. The specification document that Axure generates isn’t very pretty and for presentational purposes just doesn’t cut it.

I want full control over the documentation produced. I’m in your same situation where I’ll create interactive prototypes in Axure but for wireframing I’ll use OmniGraffle. This is a great topic and hope that the Axure team enhances the specification generator to be more customizable in future releases. Those appear in the specifications and I have to spend time removing them.

Using a vector-friendly tool like InDesign and outputting to PDF basically allows for clarity across all zoom levels.

This may cost some developers time from either hunting down free libraries on the internet, or money from paying for libraries that they’ll need to make full use of Axure. A program like Mockplus, for instance, contains over 200 commonly used components. This will force some users to either import or purchase external libraries to fill out the gaps left by Axure. Unfortunately, Axure’s standard libraries are not nearly as comprehensive as they could be. While Axure allows users to create custom widgets, these widgets are built on templates that are found in Axure’s standard libraries. Axure 8 also features a pen tool that can help users design custom vector shapes. The redesigned interface lends a modern feel and will help Axure remain a top choice among developers. Overall Opinion: To this day, Axure RP remains the industry standard in terms of rapid prototyping and user experience software.
