I use an eps-file-plotter. It's Acad-standard. Use the plot-assistant.

Would you pls elaborate your answer? I am a new user to AutoCad so may be thats the reason I coundn't get your answer.! One thing I forgot to mention that I am using AutoCad-2004.

ok, I will try.
You have to install a new plotter, which create an *.eps-file. Don't forget "f1"
options-> plot-> add a new plotter-> assistant-> "my computer"->
producer adobe-> "postscriptlevvel 1 plus" is the plotter->
plot into file -> ready, go...
Now You can plot the drawing into the file like a normal plot on a paper...

I don't have problem to get the printout. I export the drawing to eps, and then I open the file by using the adobe illustrator or Ghostview. This eps file, which I open through adobe illustrator ot Ghodtview doesn't show any colour, It is just black and white drawing. Would you pls suggest me what should I do to get coloured drawing after exporting to eps?
Thanks.!

I have tried according to your instruction; but it shows kind of erroe stating "port may not exist or another process may be using the port". I'm not sure what does than mean.

which system are You running? I think You took the wrong port. Take "plot into file" or the "port" file. I use WIN2000 Pro and it works. Maybe another forum-user can help You.
If I convert a coloured.dwg to *.eps, I get coloured objects in A-Illustrator10. Sorry, I can't see any problems. Mail the *.dwg (adr. in my profile).
No better ideas
