    Uh, yeah ... AutoCAD. Use the EXPORT command ... one of the choices is eps.

  3. You don't convert, you print to a PostScript file, using AutoCAD's own
    PostScript driver (load it with Plotter Manager). Make your custom settings
    on the Custom Properties dialog.

    Sorry!
    I meant without using AutoCAD! I receive .dwg files daily? and have to
    convert to .eps
    Can I use any other software that will do the same job as AutoCAD?

    thanks in advance

  5. - download free VoloView Express from AutoDesk (max. DWG2002)
    - install PS printer driver of a color device (i.e. free Adobe PS
    driver or anything from the Win CD)
    - print to file from VoloView Express using the driver installed above
    - convert generated PS print file (rename from .PRN to .PS if wanted)
    with e.g. free GhostScript/GSview into the EPS format

    or use an appropriate converter as e.g. KANDU CadMover (buyware),
    importing a 2D DXF/DWG to Adobe Illustrator and saving it as an EPS
    should work too.
