Propain Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Dear All, I want to convert a dwg file to an eps one. The problem is that when I do this by exporting in eps format, what I get is garbage. Is there an effective way or software that I can use to convert dwg to eps? Thanks in advance.

dbroada Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I plot to a postscript printer to obtain an EPS file. I had to add the printer but once added it creates an EPS file. How are you seeing the garbage? When you print it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propain Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Not only. Even the image itself is a mess. I am not familiar with the postscript printer. Would you please give me some instructions? And thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 EPS is encapsulated postscript so won't make any sense until sent to a printer that accepts EPS files. I don't know how 2010 adds printers but in earlier versions you add a printer and look through the list for a postscript one. I don't have AutoCAD at home so can't tell you what I have available. Once selected follow the on screen instructions. I can't remember if you have to tick the "print to file" box or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secretagdan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Adobe Illustrator can do the job. (CS2 Suite+) Save the drawing as a verson 2000 *.DWG or *.DXF, and you can open it, and save as a *.EPS file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
