How to open FH6 file?
The main problem with Adobe FreeHand Drawing is that the FH6 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FH6, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FH6 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe FreeHand MX
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe FreeHand MX program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe FreeHand MX into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FH6 with Adobe FreeHand MX.

Programs to open FH6 file
Remember to download programs supporting FH6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe FreeHand MX with FH6 files
If, despite the installed application, the FH6 file does not start in the Adobe FreeHand MX application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe FreeHand MX application as the default for handling the FH6 file.
Step 3. Update Adobe FreeHand MX to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe FreeHand MX with Adobe FreeHand Drawing there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FH6 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FH6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FH6 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FH6 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FH6 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FH6 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems Incorporated
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FH6 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FH6 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FH6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FH6 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
