Hello dear FreeHand Users,
For some times now my tools from Xtras panel (magnify, mirror3D, etc?) are not
clickable anymore. I can see them but they are grey colored. They are still in
the "Show content" of my application.
In the past there was an extra called Xtra Manager, I don't know if this could
help ?
I deleted preferences without success. Any idea ?? Thanks in advance ;-)

Mac os 10.4 - FH 11MX

I would first quit FreeHand and then use Disk Utility to 'Repair Disk
Permissions'.

If that doesn't fix the problem, quit FH and delete the Toolbars file in
the Settings folder.

FHMX doesn't have an Xtras Manager.

Thanks Judy but? it didn't work.
That 's very strange. Anyway I am going to update my system from Tiger to
Leopard and I will reinstall FreeHand. I hope my tools will come back to life.
Thanks Judy !!!

Hi,

try this (sorry for my english):
go to Menu > Fenster (Windows) > Symbolleisten (Symbols ??) > Benutzerdefiniert (Customise ??) and close that Window. The Xtras are now not grayed out...

Thousands bravos Next. You make my day. I am so happy to play again with the Xtras Tools.
Thanks again ;-)
