hi all together.
and again, another problem comes up with our new office mac with combustion 2008. the files which COULD be imported with our old combustion version (2.1.1) are now incompatible with combustion 2008. the illustrator paths are exported out of photoshop CS (v8.) the illustrator-converter quits with an error messasge "file is not recognized by the illustrator converter". strange, that the NEW combustion version now got problems with our "old" .ai-files.
could it be, that the osx-combustion 2008 brings so many bugs with it?

AFAIK, Combustion v2.1 wouldn't import Illustrator files at all. I'm pretty sure that functionality only came in Version 3. In any case, an old version wouldn't work with CS3 files because that format didn't exist at the time. I can't find it written anywhere but I am pretty sure that Combustion2008 only support up to CS2 version files. I always export Illustrator stuff to use in other applications as Version 8 files, as that has all the features I might need in Max, Combustion, CorelDraw or Xara and is pretty much foolproof.
I'm a contractor for Autodesk at the moment but, unless otherwise stated, all opinions expressed here are my own.
