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?
