I have a view and I want to be able to output it as EPS or SVG but at the right size and without the paper background.
If my Actor is 50mm across I want my EPS to be 50mm across without a large A4 white background that then has to be cropped off using another vector editing tool.
Is there a way to save a view as an EPS with only the selected items and collborators?

Chris,
You can set your paper space to whatever size you would like to export. See image below.
You can also set this when exporting in your Technical Illustration workshop. See image below.
Far as removing that background I don't think that is currently possible in the Technical Workshop of Composer. I am using 2014 so that may have changed. For only exporting selected actors and collaborators that would be done by creating more views with only said actors and collaborators since you can only export by views not selection. I hope this at least helps you out some.
Cheers,
Derek
Derek,
That worked (Composer 2016). There were some issues with scaling callouts and labels but that feature has to be disabled in the properties panel. Also line thicknesses of callouts need to be redefined. All a bit of a phaff .
The white background area is also included even with custom saving. Fortunately I am using these images on a white background but will have to post-process the images when I use the EPS or SVG files on a coloured background.
Sounds like a feature request to me.
