eps images dissappear after updating the eps

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Rick and the other FrameUsers

I have just tested this in Fm 7.2 and Fm 10 and, indeed, as soon as I save
an Illustrator EPS file in a later version, for example version 8 saved as
version 9 (or CS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the Top and Left offsets of the anchored
frame change. I have no idea why this happens, maybe someone from Adobe
(Dov) can tell us?

I did find a more recent post about this problem in the Adobe forums:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/1238889

Indeed, the problem must be related to the way in which Illustrator saves
the bounding box of the graphic. The only way to fix this problem is a
Framescript, I guess, but I think the only thing which the framescript can
do is:

1. Select the anchored frame.
2. Edit > Select all in frame.
3. Graphics > Align > T/B Centers, L/R Centers, because there is no way to
know the original position of the graphic in the AFrame.

But:

* What if the AFrame contains multiple "objects", i.e. multiple graphics
and/or callouts (text frames or text lines)?
* What if the AFrame contains a graphic which is not supposed to be aligned
T/B Centers, L/R Centers within the AFrame?

Kind regards
