Adobe FreeHand (formerly Macromedia FreeHand and Aldus FreeHand) was a computer application for creating two-dimensional vector graphics oriented primarily to professional illustration, desktop publishing and content creation for the Web. FreeHand was similar in scope, intended market, and functionality to Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW and Xara Designer Pro. Freehand is an infinite whiteboard where your team can co-draw, wireframe, plan, present, and give feedback. Use simple tools like Draw, Write, Sketch, and Comment to explore ideas in real time, and save your notes for later. With Freehand, anyone—not just designers—can contribute. It’s the key to building better products, together. In Illustrator CS5 you can just open the files, no need for a script. As for Illy CS6: it will no longer open Freehand files of any kind. They must be first saved as an EPS from Freehand, then open in Illustrator. TIP: for people with Macs, better keep an old system running as long as possible on Snow Leopard with CS5. Freehand is officially dead. Inkscape: A feature-packed editor that's a true substitute for Illustrator.

FreeHand MX Editor's Review
FreeHand MX is used by design professionals, whether they’re creating content for web or print. Since it’s a fairly flexible piece of kit, it can handle everything from line art through to animation, and it has a selection of powerful tools to make your work easier. If you need to provide graphs then you’ll be pleased with the user friendly graph tool that will save you a lot of time and hassle. This software works on Windows and Mac, but Mac users should note that FreeHand MX won’t work with OS X 10.6 or higher, so maybe think about getting something like the new Adobe Illustrator instead. Pros: FreeHand MX has a wide range of enhanced features that will keep even professional graphic designers happy. The extrude tool will help you to create stunning images which appear to be 3D and there is an excellent perspective tool. Because you can fully rotate the 3D images, this is an excellent programme for technical drawers. Cons: This product isn’t being actively developed any more, and there haven’t been any updates to it for over four years, so it’s going to get outdated. If ultra-sleek graphics are what you need, then it’s probably worth upgrading to a newer programme. Conclusion: Although it’s no longer being developed, for the money, FreeHand MX still has plenty going for it, particularly in graphing and technical illustration.
