FreeHand

One of the best known computer aided design applications is FreeHand, a vector graphics design tool. This program is one of the most used applications in advertising industry, creative design, storyboarding and document production, among others.

  One of the main reason that tools like FreeHand are so useful for this type of work, is because they work with vector graphics. The main advantage of working with this type of graphic is that you can change its size without having to worry about losing quality. This is because the images created with this program are defined using geometrical objects based on mathematical equations.

  Some of FreeHand MX's most main features are:
- Easy-to-use interface that accelerates the learning process.
- Improved productitivty, thanks to the use of graphical symbols that speed up the creation and update of repetitive elements.
- Apply an unlimited amount of stroke, fill and effect attributes to a single vector or text object.
- Smoothed image output to improve the visualization of vectorial objects on our screen.
- Compatible with other Macromedia applications like Fireworks, Flash or Dreamweaver.

  This versatile application, that was first developed by Altsys, now belongs to Adobe, that have decided not to update any of the applications features, and have no plans of future development for it. You can download the last available version of FreeHand MX here at Malavida.com.
