I am having a problem getting my illustrator files to import into max. I am saving them as version 3 or 8 like people have suggested but I am still getting an improper file format error. What is going on and How can I get me illustrator files into max?

Well first off what does the error say?
Are you exporting out of Illustrator as .AI or are you exporting out of another program that can export .AI?
About how many curves do you have in the file?
Care to post the file so that I can see if I can throw you a hand?

Thanks for the input but I was able to figure it out. It turns out that if you are using type you have to select Create Outlines in illustrator for the vector information to be read in Max.
