EPSF (encapsulated PostScript format) files are produced by many graphics and desktop-publishing programs. EPSFs are typically high-resolution files. On Windows, EPSF files will only display a preview image if a TIFF preview image was selected when the file was created.
To import an EPSF file:
1. Select File > Import > Import EPSF.
The Import EPSF File dialog box opens.
2. Select the file to import, and click Open.
Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into a window where a Vectorworks document is open.
The Export EPSF command exports a drawing to an .EPS file format. EPSF (encapsulated PostScript format) files can be read by many graphics and desktop-publishing programs. The Vectorworks translator exports EPSF files in Illustrator 88 format. EPSFs contain all drawing elements, and a TIFF preview using standard byte ordering. The Vectorworks program exports these files with high resolution and full accuracy.
To export an EPSF file:
1. Select File > Export > Export EPSF.
2. The EPS Preview Options dialog box opens. Specify the type of TIFF preview to export along with the PostScript data, and then click OK.
3. The Export as EPSF File dialog box opens. Specify the export file name and destination, and then click Save.
4. If any of the objects in the drawing are outside of the print area, a dialog box opens to ask if the print area should be used as the bounds of the EPSF export. If the print area is used as the bounds of the EPSF export, any objects outside of the print area are not included in the export.
