Hi! I had the same problem and found that Mathematica defines own functions in the eps-file. But the function "Mistroke" which "cuts" all the curves doesn´t seem to be necessary: filename = "D:\\figure1.eps"; Export[filename, fig1] epsfile = Import[filename, "Text"]; epsneu = StringReplace[epsfile, "Mistroke" -> ""]; Export[filename, epsneu, "Text"] This small script just exports the graph fig1 to an eps-file, imports the file again, eliminates the "Mistroke" function and writes back the eps-file. Till now I had no problems with this (not very clean) method! Thomas >>> Ralph Reinbeck<Mattiephly at hotmail.com> 02.01.2004 10:34:23 >>> Hello. I use Mathematica to generate plots in EPS files, and then I use Adobe Illustrator to edit the EPS files. Here's my problem: I plot y = x^2 and open the EPS file in Illustrator, but when I click on the curve, Illustrator only highlights (selects) a piece of the parabola (and not the entire parabola). Sometimes it even selects a piece of the curve and a piece of an axis, but I cannot select just the curve, or just an axis. I've posted a similar question on the Adobe Forums, but with little success. Any suggestions? I appreciate any help that's out there. Thanks a lot, R
