I read the tutorial, which was quite comprehensive.

In trying to plot to EPS, following step by step....when I try to open file in Photoshop I get the following:

"Could not open "C:\farm.eps" because parser module cannot parse the file.

What does that mean and how do you fix it?

Thanks

It's useful when asking questions to state the software version you are using. :(

The most common cause of this error is that you have plotted using a version of PostScript that your version of Photoshop is not compatible with. For example, only the most recent versions of Photoshop (6 &7) can work with PS Level 2. Try plotting to Level 1 and see what you get.
You'll need to set up another dummy plotter in AutoCAD and use the Adobe PostScript Level 1 option.
