Hi -

Is there an easy way to import into AutoCAD or convert *.eps files into *.dxf files for AutoCAD?

I want to get a ClipArt CD off EBay and the files are in *.eps format.

Here is a link to the ones I am looking at.

I want to CNC these files on my router I am building.

Thanks

InkScape wont open an .eps file. It will convert a variety of raster formats to .eps or .dxf, but it wont open .eps or .dxf. I dont know why, its quite irritating when I convert to .dxf and want to re-open to do something. Apart from that its an excellent program.

InkScape wont open an .eps file.

Apparently the Linux version will. I checked on the website before I posted that, but didn't see the Linux Only.

Thats interesting ger, I wasnt aware of it. I wonder why they have the functionality in the Linux version but not the Windows version. Maybe easier to program in. Any ideas? (Im not a Linux user )

Thats good, I didn't think of mentioning CorelDraw, sorry about that. Glad you got it sorted out.
