MacDraw II: Not Opening PICT Files (Developer Info)

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
This info is for developers who are writing applications that save out to PICT files.

If MacDraw II can't open the PICT file, check the following:

1) No empty groups. Don't issue a Begin Group call, immediately followed by an End Group

2) No Invert Calls (call Paint instead)

3) no objects out of PICT frame

4) If an object is filled and framed: fill first, then frame second
