Okay, here is what I've found. I created a doc in AI and FW, each with a single red box (created with each app). I can go from FW to AI, but not AI to FW.

Using the command menus or shortcut keys makes no difference. In FW, the 'Paste' mene item is available, but nothing happens whan it is clicked.

FWIW, I created the same sort of doc with Paint, and it copys/pastes fine between both applications.

Also, in AI, after clicking 'new document', and before the document options dialog opens, I get an error/confirmation dialog ehich says "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CANT]".

Upon clicking 'OK', it goes about it's business as if nothings wrong. Don't know if that's in any way related...

I'm having this exact same issue as well. I had an entire website designed mostly in Illustrator and upgraded from CS5.5 Production to CS6 Master Collection specifically to use Fireworks. Now I'm feeling that money would have been much better spent elsewhere. What a disappointment...

Thanks Jim, I wasn't aware of this.

Hi All:

Just a note regarding the wishform. Your detailed input on that form is importantant and I really appreicate you taking the time to help make Fireworks a better product. So thank you for filing these bugs.

Keep in mind that even though one person may have indicated they filed the bug, you should also file your own bug on the issue if you are experiencing problems. This reporting makes the engineers aware of how prevalent the issue is and helps to prioritize which bugs get addressed first. Yes, I know, in an ideal world, they'd ALL be marked as high priority, but that's seldom the case with anything. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, etc...

Also, filing the bug doesn't necessarily mean you will personally hear from the engineering team. This is a quote from the form itself:

>>We normally do not send personal replies to feature requests or bug reports. We do, however, read each and every message. We use the information to improve our products and services. Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very important to us. We appreciate you taking the time to send us this information.<<

That said, I'm making an effort to bring these threads to the attention of the FW team, and if I hear anything myself, I'll be sure to let you know.

HTH

Still nothing on this problem?

I'm really struggling with this issue, I'm only days away from downgrading back to CS5!

Can Adobe at least just announce there is NO FIX, rather than no information at all, I mean... come on!

And yes I filled out the feedback/wishform/support form with all the info they need. I'm on Windows 7.

Thank you for keeping up with this.

At my office, we've found that Illustrator 5.5 can still paste into FW CS6, leading us to believe that it's a change in how AI CS6 handles clipboard data(?)

Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I have not had an issue, but I'm running on a Mac, and from the posts here, others can use earlier versions of AI. Maybe we're narrowing it down to a Windows issue?

Hi there,

I had the same issue as the others on this post. I found a solution:

1. The problem seems to be related with APPLE QUICKTIME installation. So if you have quicktime installed, just uninstall it and everything will works fine again: you can import your .ai files to fireworks.

2. This worked for me: I tried to reinstall quicktime (because I use After Effects) and everything are still working.

3. In case you don't use after effects try to download k-lite codec pack as an alternative to quicktime

Hopefully it helps someone!

Worked for me too, cheers RR72.
