    No direct way to do it, but there might be a roundabout way. You used to be able to open illustrator paths as splines in Max. Might have needed a plugin, but it could be done. Assuming it's still possible to do that you could try the following:

    - Stamp down your brush on a blank layer
    - CTRL click the layer thumbnail to make a selection.
    - In the Paths Palette click "Make work path from selection" to make a path.
    - Clean up the path if it's way off.
    - Select Export Paths to Illustrator from the file>export menu.
    - Try opening that file in Max.

    I don't have Max at home to verify this, so let us all know if it works (I just did the rest of it in under 30 seconds).
