FM 9 Version: 9.0p255
Unstructured
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit (new, PITA machine)
FM Experience: 2 years

My service manuals have a series of mechanical drawings that demonstrate how 
pieces of our equipment come apart. The images are created in SolidWorks CAD 
software and exported as an AI file for my use. I add in details like part 
numbers, required tools, etc and then save the image as an EPS which is then 
imported by reference into the correct file in my book.

The first drawing is an exploded view that shows all the serviceable parts. I 
have now been requested to use XREFs to allow users to jump from a specific 
labelled part to that part's specific drawing.

My question is: How do I do this? Is there some way to overlay a frame on the 
image so I can insert an XREF? So far, all my attempts to do this have failed. 
Is what I want to do even possible? Or maybe I've just missed a simple step.

Any help would be appreciated.
