file formats from Solid edge

[tluthman]

In our company we need to create pictures from solid edge to our manuals. The grafic department prefers the file format .eps - which we can't seem to produce.

So my question is: does anyone know if it is possible to produce Encapsulated PostScript files from solid edge?

And if the answer is yes, how do you do that? Is something extra needed?

You can try this tool which is able to output .eps
PDF Creator

A bit cumbersome is this (you must have Acrobat for this, the Acro-Reader is insufficient):
- save as .pdf
- open that .pdf in Acrobat
- save as .eps

Adobe Illustrator can also create .eps files.

The way we do it now is to open the pdf in Illustrator and save it as an illustrator file. It seems that the format is better that way then if we save it as an eps from illustrator.

I really would like the opportunity to save to eps directly from solid edge if possible.

if one has OK, if not then Acrobat is not that costly ...

It's only from hearsay, so I've not tested it

when a PostScript printer is available one can use
print to file (file ending is .prs or pri). The file
is however, in .EPS format so changing the ending to
.eps should work (I don't know how good/bad the quality
is). SE does not support output as .eps only save as
.pdf by using the (virtual) Velocity Printer is implemented
