FHMX Crashes When Importing and Saving

Question

I am using one of the 24" iMacs and FreeHand crashes whenever
I Save As (it doesn't happen when I save over a file that I've
started and saved previously). I am also trying to save directly to
a Network drive. It doesn't crash as much when I save to my
desktop, but it HAS done it, so I don't know if it has to do with
the Intel Processors, the version of Mac OS, or the fact that I'm
saving to a Network, or something that I haven't thought of.
It also crashes when I try to import items into a FH
document, regardless of where those files are saved.
If anyone has any suggestions or advice, please let me know!
I have a major project due today and I can't afford to waste any
time on crashes! Thanks!!!

Hi watermelonpatty!, I don't have much experience with the
new intel macs so this is not a solution to the 'save as" crashes,
but here's a couple of ideas that could save you from losing your
work:
1. before you try to save the file, you could use export to
save the freehand file first just as a safeguard.
2. if you drag and drop items directly from the finder into a
FH page does it crash?, if not you could use this method for the
time being until you find a more permanent fix.
hope this helps
