Creating PostScript Files

To create a PostScript (EPS) file

1. From the File menu, choose Export.
2. In the Export Data dialog box, enter a file name.
3. At Save As Type, select Encapsulated PS (*.eps), and then choose Options.
4. In the Export Options dialog box under What to Plot, select an option to specify the area in the drawing to use for the PostScript file.
5. Under Preview, specify whether you want to include an EPSI or TIFF screen preview or no preview for desktop publishing applications.
6. Under Size Units, specify whether to use inches or millimeters.
7. Under Scale, specify a scale for the EPS output using one of these methods:
   
   • Specify a custom scale based on the size of the plotted output compared with the actual size represented in the drawing. For example, entering 1=10 produces output in which each plotted inch represents 10 actual inches.
   • Select Fit to Paper to scale the output to fill the paper.
8. Under Paper Size, specify a standard paper size or a custom size that you have defined in the Plot Configuration dialog box.
9. Choose OK. Then choose Save to exit the Create PostScript File dialog box.
