New Way to Import Illustrator Files

Ok, so I have some bad news and good news. I've had nothing but problems with the last method of importing Illustrator files into Maya. The method I was using was causing the model to have a lot of points, reverse my normals, and laundry list of things that were making my life hell. The good-- I found a new way to import and it seems to be working quite well. The bad--I'm going to remodel... but it shouldn't take too long. I have literally spent hours and hours trying to fix the disaster that the last method caused.

Here is a link to the new way of importing:
