MacDrawII, MacDrawPro, PICT and Claris Draw Import

New with version 1.9.0:
EazyDraw now supports full import of Claris Draw, MacDrawII, MacDrawPro, and PICT files. All vector information, patterns, colors, gradients, groups, layers, and rotated objects are supported by the import.

Full support is provided for import and editing of PICT images and files.  PICT content may be converted to EazyDraw vector graphics.  The conversion conserves vector information, fully attributed text, as well as embedded bitmap images.  This capability is now available with version 1.9.0, email our support team for further information.

Ungroup PICT:

APICT files, PICT content from imported drawings, and PICT content from the system paste board may be ungrouped.  This converts the drawing vectors and text into corresponding EazyDraw vector content, making it possible to editing or revise the PICT content.  This provides a conversion path to convert PICT drawings to full vector PDF, most other graphics converters only provide bitmap core content and no editing during the process. 

Full Vector Support:

All vector information is imported into the EazyDraw document.  Line widths, paths, text font information, patterns, just to name a few.  Everything from layers to arrow style are reproduced faithfully in the new EazyDraw OS X drawing. 

Technical Drawing Support:

Autolines are imported and converted to connecting dimension autolines in Eazydraw.  Drawing scale and origin are reproduced in the imported drawing. 

Text - Font & Style Conserved
:
Text is imported as fully attributed strings.  This conserves the Font (if the font in present in OS X) style, color, shadowing etc.  The imported text fully editable in EazyDraw.

Export to Contemporary Formats:
The converted file is normally saved in the EazyDraw native format, with the converted file becoming the new master for future revisions.  The content may, of course, be exported to any of the numerous file types supported by EazyDraw, PDF, TIFF, JPG, PNG, EPS, ICNS, GIF, and PICT.  Direct export to Keynote file format is provided.

Screen Shot
The screen shot to the left shows a Claris Draw import result.  The back window is a ClarisDraw window running in the Classic Mode on OS X.  The drawing was created with Claris Draw. The forward window shows the same file imported into EazyDraw running native OS X.

Note on evaluation
We understand that our 20 graphic demo license limit may not allow proper evaluation of our ability to properly read these files.  We will translate, at no charge, one or two files.  You may email the MacDraw files to support@eazydraw.com and we will return the *.ezdraw converted file, which you may view in the reader mode (without purchasing a license).

Move to OS X - keep right on working
Our full import of all the information in the MacDraw file will make your move to OS X a pleasant experience.  All you'll need to do is use EazyDraw to make your next revisions to your existing MacDraw files.
