Non-Adobe-Illustrator
vectorfiles:
Native Macromedia Freehand files (fhx) are by software default
supported until version 9
Native Coreldraw files (cdr) are by software default supported
until version 10
Troubleshooting:
Exporting a native workfile from Autocad, Freehand, Coreldraw
to Adobe Illustrator compatible files such as .pdf, .dwg,
.dxf, .ai, .eps are often only possible in a limited version.
This may result in very disrupted vector files and require
heavy editing to be printable which costs time and money.
