Error importing Illustrator 3 files

Is the AI import function broken? Anybody else having this problem?

Using the latest Public Build BETA, 2.5.2.137.

    Just tested it. Seems to work. However, the Illustrator file must be save as Illustrator version 8 or lower.

    Thanks for testing it out!  Are you using the latest BETA?

    Illustrator 8? I tried everything down from 8, but still no go for me. 

    I wonder what is going on?  I always used this to great effect.  In fact, it's one of the most useful of features for me.

    But now, suddenly, errors! sad

    I'm using Hexagon 2.5.2.137 (the so called beta) and Illustrator CS6.

    In Illustrator I saved a test file as version 3, 8, 10. and cs6. Only the version 3 and 8 would open in Hexagon.

    Okay! That worked. Using Illustrator CC to do the conversion.

    You see, in the past I was able to use an old Freehand 9 program to export to an Illustrator 3 file format, and it opened just fine in Hexagon. I've done this for years. Well, with the older versions of Hexagon, I guess.  This is the first time I've tried it in the newer BETA releases.

    Something changed apparently and the Freehand 9 exports-to-version-3 AI no longer work. Unless there is something else going on.

    Thanks for taking the time to try this out for me! It's vexed me for the past few days.
