Importing 2D spline shapes 2004-01-23 - By Douglas Alden Peterson

I use FreeHand (Mac) almost all of the time for this task
and I get consistent results. Make sure you EXPORT
the file selecting Illustrator 5.5 (or less) format. (I think
C3 uses Illustrator 8 or less, but I haven't read that part
of the manual yet.).
One thing I've had happen upon importing the file
is that you might not be seeing it because the
object might be huge and just not show in the
Spline Modeler's view. Zoom outward and make
sure the item isn't there before giving up. Also
poke around the Assembly Room to see if the
item is showing up there.

Maybe you have a hidden pixel-based image in the
file before you export it? That's just a guess. EPS
files can contain both vector and pixel-based components
but Carrara can only accept vector elements in the
Spline Modeler.
