copying vector shapes from illustrator to fireworks

Another workaround for people with CC 2015 suite but not Illustrator 6;

1. copy and paste to Indesign

2. export as eps

3. this eps then opens in Fireworks for me

Thanks for everyone else's suggestions.

For me it was an error that happened when going from Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Fireworks CS6. Since Fireworks isn't being supported right now it is stuck in version 6 until the foreseeable future. So if you will save your vector files in Adobe Illustrator CS6 or earlier version as an EPS file you should have no trouble importing these to Fireworks. This issue has been resolved for me. I'd love to hear back if you experienced something different. Mine works great now in the land of happy icon bliss. Cheers friends, M.

Hi all,

I was having the very same issue. I simply LOVE Fireworks (during all my professional life, since the g'old Macromedia times haha) and I won't give up on it any time soon. Such a BIG SHAME Adobe discontinued this great software

Anyway, my point here is to sum up the alternatives friends above listed. It's working quite well for me using Fireworks and Illustrator at the same time whenever needed:

COPY and PASTE WON'T WORK so:

1- Try to click the wanted vector on Illustrator and drag to the Fireworks document (so you need to leave opened both windows somehow side by side);

OR

2- Save the vector you want to import into Fireworks as EPS (CS6 or below, NOT CC) then you simply import it in Fireworks;

OR

3- Save the whole Illustrator file as CS6 (or below) and then open it from Fireworks.

Cheers

Save the illustrator file as Illustrator CS6 file, and then open it with fireworks, works perfectly

I tried the drag and drop and it didn't work for me.

The only thing that worked was saving as EPS. Just remember to select the EPS version CS6 or earlier, because the EPS CC won't work either.

The following post offers a workaround/fix for Fireworks CS6 users having trouble opening or importing Illustrator files on the Windows 7 platform. I'm not sure if this applies to you or not:
