Compatability Questions
Macromedia Freehand and EPS filesIf you use Freehand as your graphics package of choice, you may find that EPS files exported from Auto-Illustrator don't show up when imported.
Freehand, as far as we know, never displays EPS content - it just previews it using a crossed rectangle. When printed to a PostScript printer, the document comes out correctly, however.
The workaround, if you can do it, is to load the exported EPS into another program, such as Adobe Illustrator (this is known to work as Illustrator can preview EPS content) and then save it out as an Illustrator document. The latest Freehand can read Illustrator documents without any problem, so then you will get your document in all it's editable glory.
There may be other workarounds possible, which don't require Adobe Illustrator - try creating a virtual printer that creates EPS or PDF files on your desktop. Print your document from Auto-Illustrator using the virtual printer and see if that imports into Freehand. There are no guarantees as I'm afraid this is an issue with Freehand and not Auto-Illustrator's EPS export routines.
