FM7 does a lot less than FM8. FM7 also is unable to make raster maps in Dundjinni style.
Fortunately, that's still the case, now that the user forums are running again. However, I'd strongly urge anyone who wants to get the huge collection of objects (symbols) and textures (fills) offered there not to postpone the downloads forever. The forums could disappear again, perhaps forever.
All of the downloads offered in the forums also work in FM8. They should work in CC3 too, in principal, but I've seen postings from CC3 users saying that they have trouble in CC3 with the PNG alpha channel, causing transparent areas to turn white rather than remain transparent. Not being a CC3 user, I don't know how great or widespread a problem this might be. Some CC3 users have reported the same alpha channel problems in converting our Vintyri symbol sets for CC3. However, someone expert in CC3 will have to resolve those problems.
