I bought some eps vector art from http://www.gomedia.us/arsenal/

and I am haing a heck of a time converting it to a usable format.

They are EPS and I open in Corel draw then I export as another type of EPS ( i cannot import directly from main eps) but all the lines are crossed and over lapped. I tried exporting from corel as DXF but they are either totally incomplete or absolutely no detail

Please help me to learn this process
Im going to try and attach a file..


Sorry wont let me upload file too large

I just changed the file extension from .ps to .eps and imported right into Vcarve Pro.

Same here, I just renamed the extension to .eps and illustrator opened it right up.

Danny,
Go get inkscape, http://www.inkscape.org/ load your eps in, convert to dxf and save, then you have a vector file.

Jack,
I must be missing something, but I can't find EPS as a supported graphic type in Inkscape.

Kevin,
My mistake i was going on memory. EPS is a supported "save" format but not a input one. I would suggest that there should be a pgm to convert to a valid input format. Sorry for that.
