In addition to just = supporting AI files with multiple art boards, I know I'd like to the = option to have each art board as a separate Comp or each art board as = one large comp.  Of course, sub-layers as nested Comps would also = be nice.

Gonna head over the Adobe web site = right = now!

this is a known issue with = illustrator files. you do need to make sure there is only one artboard = before importing to AE.
this could surprise you for instance = when you create a new template of 720HDV in illustrator, you will get 2 = art boards by default
so you should delete the bigger one when importing to = AE.

it could seem to work fine until you choose = the command "create shapesfrom vector layer"

Somehow I added a second artboard to my Illustrator file-- and multiple = artboards is a bad thing, at least as far as AE is concerned. Deleted = the second artboard, saved, and everything came back as it should.

Whew.
