Solidworks 2007 - Export to .eps ?

Luke Rodgers Nov 5, 2007 9:33 AM

Hi,

Until recently we've been using Autocad to create our drawingswhich are exported to .EPS format. .EPS being a very small filesize to store and send across the world to a networked printer(using Optio Document management software,http://www.optiosoftware.com/)
We need to stay with the .eps format and im wondering if anybodyhas any suggestions on the best way to get an .EPS file fromsolidworks drawings ?

Hope you can help,
Thanks.

Since EPS export isn't supported directly, your choices are
Export to PDF and then to EPS from Acrobat (You have to have the full version)
or
Export to DWG and then use the PostScript printer driver included with AutoCAD to create an EPS file.

  Thanks John.
  
  The user still also uses Autocad, so I think I will have to plumpfor the SolidWorks>DWG>EPS option.
  Shame theres no 3rd party plug-in that does this. (in small filesizes)
  
  Thanks again for your help.
  Luke.

    You might want to look at the Acrobat distiller driver. I think it prints to EPS
