.eps in X2?

[MILLRUNNER]

I'm trying to get X2 to read an eps file. The last time I did this I was in version 9, and I went like this--

 

FILE

CONVERTERS

NEXT MENU

EPS

 

Can this be done in X2? If so How do I do it??

 

Thanks

can you do >file open>files of this type arrow down to .eps

 

it's down almost at the bottom

I tried it, but I get 2 boxes and they say--

 

THE SELECTED PICTURE CAN CONTAIN PIXEL DATA THAT CANNOT BE CONVERTED!

 

SELECTED FILE COULD NOT BE CONVERTED. CONVERSION PROCESS FAILED.

 

This is really weird, because the way I did it in 9, it seems like it had a options box where you could control the parameters of the conversion.

 

One thing I do like about X though is the fact that you don't have to choose a converter most of the time. As long as X is open, whenever you go and get a file, no matter what extension it is, it seems like it automatically retrieves the right converter for that format. I do it all the time with .dxf's, and I didn't even realize it but it did the same thing with .eps. I just tried to open it and it automatically called the converter. the "files of this type" is just another way to do it.

It typically depends on what created trhe eps file. We can read many of the older releases, but, not some of the newer software eps files. I'm guessing they have changed something on the format a little. JM2C
