Old Vectors .aff (acorn draw) files

[Dwhite]

Hi
I wondered if you could shed some light on a vector query.
I am trying to amend some original '.AFF' Acorn Draw files on a Mac using
Illustrator 10, but cannot find a way of saving them back to .AFF format.
Our programmer says he can only use .AFF files
If Xara Xtreme does it on a PC we would be happy to buy it.
Any ideas most appreciated

Hello Donna and welcome.

Xtreme can export to ArtWorks EPS. Could your programmer try importing these into Acorn Draw? (Are people still seriously using Acorn Draw!)

Only programme that I know of that can import "aff" files to a PC is a CAD programme called Techsoft. To answer Egg's question, Yes but it does not use the StrongArm chip it is just like the mac now using an Intel running its operating system.

Cheers Albacore,

I have fond memories of Acorn Draw. It was the program I first used to cut my teeth on vector graphics. It was very basic by todays standards. I don't think it even had any antialiasing, so the on screen objects looked very jagged.

I think Donna was asking for a way to EXPORT .AFF from Xara Xtreme.

Xtreme can IMPORT .AFF, but there's no way of exporting again as .AFF

If I remember right its been said somewhere that older versions of Xara could do it, may be some one knows which version(s) ?
