Clipboard

[monsterfox]

I use Freehand 9 quite often, but I can't paste the content from the clipboard into VS. Is it possible to quickly copy and paste between Freehand and VS? Thank you."

@monsterfox Not sure what format Freehand uses to copy to clipboard.
Can it be pasted to Inkscape for example?

@VectorStyler It is possible to use the low - version AI format, but it cannot be pasted into Inkscape.

FreeHand 9 apparently copies to the clipboard in the following formats:
WMF, EMF, PICT (Mac only, DIB/Bitmap, FreeHand internal format

You can reportedly copy in these formats via Copy Special:
EPS, Adobe Illustrator 7/8, Bitmap, Text

It seems the clipboard isn't well suited for use with Freehand and VectorStyler plus other modern tools, unfortunately.
