FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art

[Craig Ede]

Yeah, but wouldn't it be a happy thing if we could back save files with the
new features still there. I don't know how the hell one could program  that,
though, since the old file structure would have no way to anticipate any new
features (whatever they might be!). Layers (subject to flattening if there
were no layers before) would be just one of these things.

elements created using the newer features of CS6 will not be available for
editing and manipulation. I believe they're 'flattened'.

Sad, but, I am sure, true.
