Hi Chris,
It looks like the .ai file is getting rasterized in FrameMaker, and thus the
stair-stepping. Try saving the Illustrator version as PDF and import the PDF
into FrameMaker and see if you get better results. You could also try EPS.

As Rick said, the embedded graphic was
changed from a vector graphic (line drawing) to a raster graphic
(AKA bitmap). Vector graphics stay sharp when enlarging PDF.
Raster graphics don't.
In general, embedding files is risky. Every one in a while, you
I would recommend that you save your graphics as .EPS instead of .AI.
Unless I've overlooked a recent change, FrameMaker doesn't directly
support embedding of .AI files. They do sometimes work, though. Here's
an _old_ explanation from Dov Isaacs of Adobe:

I noticed that the comments were old, but I'd swear I heard Dov say
something similar a year or so ago. I just couldn't find a link. As far
as I know, .AI import is still not officially supported-- though it does
often work. .EPS and .PDF import are definitely preferable.

Turns out it was an issue with the graphic having some bad entities
embedded in the intricate details. Our illustrator redrew the whole thing
and that fixed the problem.

I had replied to the list earlier that the problem was a couple bad
entities within the graphic itself, that was tripping up the graphics
conversion to PDF and causing rasterization in blocks where those entities
were found. We've since redrawn the graphic and the distortion no longer
occurs.
