MI / Adobe Illustrator exercise

[andre boessenkool]

Hi there folks,   I am sure somebody must have tried this before, but I am struggling no end:   I have a MI-map, which I want to overlay with a raster image. Bringing the image in and getting it registered within MI is no problem, but I want to cut a hole in the image and look through it at - part of my - map.   The image was obtained by scanning it in and editing it to some extent in Adobe Illustrator V7.0, a package that I am not very experienced with, but it seemed to do what I wanted at the time. However, I need to cut a rather complex hole in it and then bring it back into MI. Does anyone have any suggestions how I should tackle this??   Thanks in advance.
