The Create PostScript File dialog box is displayed. In the Create PostScript File dialog box, enter a file name. AutoCAD LT adds the .eps extension.
What to plot -- Display, Extents, Limits, View, or Window <D>: Enter an option or press ENTER
AutoCAD LT-generated EPS files contain a PostScript rendering of the model. AutoCAD LT outputs arcs, circles, and polylines as PostScript primitives instead of vectors. The exception is objects that are unrepresentable in PostScript. For instance, objects with nonzero thickness are output as vectors. AutoCAD LT outputs text objects that use font files named in the PostScript support file (aclt.psf) as PostScript text objects in the corresponding PostScript font. AutoCAD LT objects that cannot be directly represented in PostScript are output as wireframe images precisely as AutoCAD LT displays them on screen. The HIDE and SHADE commands have no effect on output generated by PSOUT.
Creates an EPS file from an AutoCAD LT file.
Select or enter the name you want to assign to the postscript file (extension .eps).
Select the type of files you want to see in the File Name list.
Select the drive and directory that you want to contain the postscript file.
Exports the view in the current viewport in model space or the current view in paper space.
Include a screen preview image in the file? (None / EPSI / TIFF) <None>: Enter an option or press ENTER
Exports the portion of the current space of the drawing that contains objects.
Include a screen preview image in the file? (None / EPSI / TIFF) <None>: Enter an option or press ENTER
Exports the entire drawing area defined by the drawing limits. If the current viewpoint is not the plan view (0,0,1), this option is the same as the Extents option.
Include a screen preview image in the file? (None / EPSI / TIFF) <None>: Enter an option or press ENTER
Exports a view saved previously using the VIEW command.
View name: Enter
a name
Include a screen preview image in the file? (None / EPSI / TIFF) <None>: Enter an
option or press ENTER
Exports any portion of your drawing. AutoCAD LT prompts you to specify a lower-left corner and an upper-right corner of the area you want to output.
First corner: Specify
a point
Other corner: Specify a point
Include a screen preview image in the file? (None / EPSI / TIFF) <None>: Enter an
option or press ENTER
After you respond to the Output units=Drawing Units or Fit or ? prompt, AutoCAD LT lists the paper sizes it can accommodate.
Enter the Size or Width, Height (in Inches) <current>: Enter a standard size description from the list, or an explicit width and height value, or press ENTER
If you enter a unique size by specifying the width and height of the paper, the size you specify appears with the label USER or USERn on the list for paper sizes the next time you create an EPS file with PSOUT. AutoCAD LT exports an EPS file with the file name you specified.
Specifies no screen preview image in the file.
Size units (Inches or Millimeters) <current>: Enter an option or press ENTER
Includes an EPSI screen preview image.
Screen preview image size (128x128 is standard)? (128 / 256 / 512) <128>: Enter a value or press ENTER
The value you enter specifies the pixel resolution of the screen preview image.
Includes a TIFF screen preview image.
Screen preview image size (128x128 is standard)? (128 / 256 / 512) <128>: Enter a value or press ENTER
The value you enter specifies the pixel resolution of the screen preview image.
If you include a TIFF screen preview, you cannot print the EPS file directly to a PostScript printer and produce the image output.
Sets size units in inches or millimeters.
Output units=Drawing Units or Fit or ?<current>: Enter an explicit scale, enter f, or press ENTER
You enter an explicit scale by specifying how many drawing units are to be output per unit (millimeters or inches). For example, to produce output at a scale of 1 drawing unit per millimeter, enter 1=1.
If you enter f, AutoCAD LT scales the output so the portion of the drawing that is output is made as large as possible for the specified paper size.
If you enter ?, AutoCAD LT displays a short description of the options.
