I'm using FM 7.1p116 and Illustrator 9.0. It would seem that there
should be a way to get beyond/behind the standard white background of an
imported Illy file to show only the image. I'm not sure if the problem
of the white canvas obscuring the gridlines is an Illy problem/feature
or on the Frame side. In any case, the goal would be to take advantage
of the gridlines to position and align callouts. I suspect I'm missing
something obvious. What I see today is shown at:

what to do?
It's not an Illustrator 'feature' -- it's just that Frame doesn't
support transparency. But read the Help entry on Using Grids. You'll
find that if you set the visible grid lines and the (snap) grid spacing
to the same value, and turn on Graphics > Snap, your callouts will
snap-align to the grid even though you can't see the grid lines behind
the white background. (In fact, you can just use the snap feature and
turn off the visible grid lines, for a much less cluttered view.)

I'll stop saying Microsoft is arrogant when
Windows stops saying "Welcome" and instead says "May I?"
