From: Buttgereit <Buttgereit at compuserve.com> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net * There is a feature I hadn't noticed in 3.0.0. Select a graphic and * right click on it. A menu appears. One of the options is "save object * as". A few file formats appear. Those applicable to graphics are * bitmap, windows metafile, adobe illustrator, eps and enhanced metafile. * After selecting the type of file, you choose a name and the file is * saved. The "Save Object As..." command is also in the Edit menu, down below Copy (actually, it's "Save Selection As...", and I don't think you even have to Copy first.) One caveat, at least in 3.0 on a Mac. I created some arcs using the Circle[ command in MMA, and did "Save Selection as Illustrator". When I opened the resulting file in Illustrator 7.0 the arcs had turned into a couple of straight line segments. Saving to EPS and then opening the EPS file with Illustrator gave proper arcs. (Saving to Illustrator actually creates a file in Illustrator 1.0 format; maybe Illustrator 1.0 didn't know about ars?)
