eps files

I am trying to import an .eps file into CorelDRAW 6, created through ACAD export .eps

When trying to import, all that appears is the drawing name.  How do I correct this problem.

 

You will need a higher version of CorelDRAW in order to view the .EPS file (the gray box basically indicates that the file was created on a newer version than what you can open).

Hi,

If my memory serves, you'll need to "Open" that file instead of  "Importing". My another guess is that I would rename such files with the extensions like .prn and .ps, and then they would import as well. So try these suggestions and let me know. If the Autocad version is one of the latest ones you might not Open or Import them into Corel 6 at all.

That's not correct. In older versions of Draw, you had to choose whether to
import either "EPS" which would just "place" the object on the page and
would appear as either a low-res bitmap or a gray box because you were not
going to EDIT the EPS file, but print it to a Postscript printer. The gray
box never indicated that the file was created with a newer version. It
indicated it was a "placed" file.

If you wanted to EDIT the EPS file, you had to import using the PS, PRN,
EPS - Postscript Interpreted filter/filetype.

Current versions of Draw did away with this distinction and have just the
EPS filetype to choose from.

Note that depending upon what level of Postscript the EPS file uses, you may
not be able to work with it in v6... that version is what, 15 or 16 years
old now.
