#MacDraw to Amiga
4 messages in this thread
I need some help with this one. I have a few MacDraw files that I would
like to convert over to the Amiga using MAXII Transfer 2 program. When I
cli click on MacPaint it does not show any files only if I click on "none,
and MacBinary. How can I transfer those MacDraw files to the Amiga to
convert them over to IFF later?
When I use MacView it does not reconize the macformat after I tried "None"
or binary" conversion.

I believe that MacDraw and MacPaint files are different. As far as
I know, MacDraw files are EPS. Try the Postscript setting.

Thanks I will try that! {_
MacDraw files are in a proprietary format. It can save structured "PICT"
format files, too. Be careful, most PICT conversion tools only handle the
"PICT bitmap" format, while MacDraw PICTs contain other structured (lines,
arcs, etc.) elements. Which Amiga program would you like to load them? If
you want a bitmap, then convert it to a bitmap on the Mac side. PhotoShop
will do a nice job of loading a PICT and saving it as a pure bitmap in
several formats including IFF. If you want to move it to Pro Draw or an
Amiga structured drawing program, well, that's a different story. You
could load it into Adobe Illustrator, save it as AI format, then move the
file to an Amiga program that loads AI. I think Pro Vector does now. Or,
save it as an EPSF and place the graphic in your favorite DTP program.
