E.g. you can export a Graphics3D as a 2D-Vector-Graphic just as Version 5 did doing the following: Get["Version5`Graphics`"] Plot3D[x, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}] now select the graphics, 'do save selection as' and choose a filename ending in e.g. eps. Of course one could try to automate the process and have a function do all that in one go. Of course you are limited to the graphics functionality of version 5. Oh, and don't forget to: Get["Version6`Graphics`"] to get back the new default behaviour. hth, albert
