How can I copy a vector shape from Freehand MX to PhotoShop 6

Question

I prepare my shape in Freehand MX and try to copy as "Shape Layer" into Photoshop 6, but I can not. The message is displayed as ; "Could not complete the paste command because the parser module can not parse the clipboard". On some PCs I managed to do this, but not on my computer. So, how can I copy a vector shape from Freehand MX to Photoshop 6 on a PC. Is there any way for such problems. Any way?

Take care,

Lifediscoverer,

I would take a look at how you have your preferences configured. In the export tab you have settings for the clipboard formats. Make sure you have the AI/EPS - Photoshop 4/5 pixels option specified.

You might also look at the option of using the menu option under Edit:Special:Copy Special.
