How to create .(eps) file from AutoCad 2017.

You can use the PSOUT command to create .EPS from your drawing. See:

When I apply PSOUT command it gives the following dialog box as attached.

it just saves all the drawing to .eps format, mean not giving any window option.

The Option dialog is under Tools>Options as the tip suggests.

It is a matter of paper size, resolution and the default lineweights - we have extended the tip on how to handle lineweights.

Hi @eng.saleemmughal,

If you also use Illustrator, I have found the best workflow for me is to save the drawing to a version that your version of Illustrator can open and then open it there. Once open in Illustrator, getting it to work properly in Photoshop is a breeze.

same way as previous versions of AutoCAD using the print command with EPS printer:

how is it possible in 2017?

add a plotter wizard.

[paullimapa · Accepted solution]

Again same as previous versions of AutoCAD.

After you enter the PlotterManager command in AutoCAD, it should open a Window that would contain a shortcut called Add-A-Plotter Wizard.

If it does not, you can always find the command located under the AutoCAD 2017 folder:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\addplwiz.exe

If you don't see this file under the AutoCAD 2017 folder, then you should reinstall the program.
