RE: [MiKTeX] EPS graphics, again.

[Down, Ed (Tucson) <ed...@ho...>]

Michael - I have worked with other drafting packages and the .plt output is usually interpreted well as postscript (i.e.
just change the extension to .ps, then convert to .eps using ghostscript/ghostview).

The issue I generally find is that the drafting package will 'draw' text, rather than writing it. If this is the case,
then you have no chance of using the text as tags.

Assuming your text is 'real' text (Not drawn), then open the plot file with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and search for
the text tag in the file. 

If you search for the text tag string and do not find it, your text is probably drawn.

In the package I use for general drawing, it puts a '/T' in front of any text in the file, so I need to include that in
the tag in my tex file. 

Your problem may be something like that. 

Hope this helps.

Ed

		Alan: The main program that I use that produces "dodgy" postscript is
		AutoCAD R14. It has a command to "Export" Postscript that (I think)
		relies on an installed Postscript printer driver. This surprised me a
		bit, as AutoCAD is a true vector program, and I would have thought
		creating Postscript would be easy to do from this. 

		Arnout: Thanks, I will give WMF2EPS a try. AutoCAD is able to produce
		WMF as well, so will try this on it.

		Helmut: I definitely have the EPS option set in my printer driver. Am
		currently investigating all of the options in case I have one wrong.

		Thanks for the suggestions,
		Michael.

		P.S. Does anyone ever wish they could write their emails in LaTeX?
