Os x redhand7/25/2023 FreeHand 10 now has the common Macromedia user interface introduced in Flash 5 last year and built into the latest versions of Fireworks and Dreamweaver. “People are realizing, ‘I can make changes to 500 pages with one mouse click,'” Hutchinson says.įreeHand’s interface, which has taken some knocks in recent years, should ring a bell for anyone familiar with Macromedia’s other applications. Make any change to a master page, and it’s immediately reflected in every child page. Master pages are templates that contain objects and page attributes shared by multiple pages in a document - a single document can hold up to 32,000 master pages. The new Master Pages feature seems to have garnered a lot of attention among FreeHand’s beta testers, Hutchinson says. And, continuing with the concept introduced in the last FreeHand upgrade, the new version includes tools that help designers publish illustrations in both print and on the Web. Macromedia has added several new tools and features aimed at bolstering productivity and creating more-sophisticated illustrations. Still, OS X compatibility is hardly the only significant news surrounding FreeHand. Also, standard vector files appear to print faster if FreeHand is running in OS X, Hutchinson says, though independent tests won’t be able to verify that until the application ships. “With really large files, everything counts,” Hutchinson adds. When you move windows around in the OS X version of FreeHand, the document doesn’t have to redraw itself anymore. Those benefits are quite noticeable, Hutchinson says.
