Thomahawk Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Okay, some advice here for FreeHand users: As you certainly experienced, Affinity Designer can open FreeHand files, but the result is only usable for the most simple of files. But if you export your file from FreeHand in Adobe Illustrator format, Af Designer can open that and the result is very good. If you can get your hands on a copy of AI CS4 (it stills works under OSX Mojave, while FreeHand only works up to 10.6.8 or under newer versions inside Parallells) you can open FreeHand files directly with AI under Mojave, save as AI file and then open that in Af Designer and the result is very good.

Thomahawk Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi Petar FreeHand still works under Windows? That is great. Unfortunately I am too much bound to Mac OS X. Shame on Apple for being intentionally incompatible. That is not the Apple I signed up to 35 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
