export FHMX to FH10

Boy is FHMX messed up. Exporting a file done in mx to 10 it completly messed up my work. I had some images inside a path, text converted to paths and one custom guide. and a few layers.

What it did: It produced low quality images on 10 mixed with my work. The images went to the background layer (u can delet it) and in the guides layer and no u cannot do anything (nor delete, create guides modify, nothing).

....yes it went to the print shop without cheking the file in 10 and the re$ult wasn't pretty.

so be very carfuly, freehand mx is not to be trusted that much.

Exporting back to FH10 is a bad idea. FHMX does a lot of things that cannot be exactly duplicated in going back a version.

Contour gradients will become blends, raster effects will become RGB tiffs, stacked elements in the objects panel will fly apart....etc... Pick one of the applications and stay there.

hey! it doesn't make abandone FHMX, no way. What i'm saying is we better keep the two versions available at any time, just to be sure.
Luv FH. Its the best versatile vector/layout program out there.

peace!
