I've got a curved line imported into Illustrator, consisting of several small vectors. No matter what I do I'm not able to seperate these vectors. No chance to ungroup, no clipping mask, no compound path. In the layers overview the whole line shows up as a "path", but there's no way I can select the line segments individually. Help!

...if you are using illustrator CS or cs 2, try selecting the line and the got to:
object > expand
or
object > expand appearance
...see if the will break it up into pieces...
...the problem is the math 5 application export and import into illustrator, illustrator doesn't understand it as an illustrator drawn item...
