importing *.ai-files created with CorelDraw

I often import drawings as *.ai-files from Corel Draw to AS. Often the colors had completely changed and it was a lot of work to correct the colors in AS. So I made some tests to find out the reasons.
By default CorelDraw uses CMYK colors and when you export the drawing to an *.ai-file colors are written as CMYK-values. AS uses RGB-Values for colors and does not interpret the CMYK-Color-values correctly when importing *.ai-files.
When you use RGB-Colors in CorelDraw, the RGB-Color-values are used when Corel exports your Drawing to an *.ai-file. When you import such a file to AS you will get the right colors.
