Hello Steve, I do this frequently and the following work-around works for me. Save Selection As (EPS) I import the EPS into a SVG drawing program (I use skencil) and then edit over the top of the imported eps. When saving the selection, I use options to turn off embedding of tiff preview in the options. The eps is device independent. Hope this works for you.
