GS canned EPS in 10 as they think PDF is good enough. Unless of course you do anything with arcs in it ....

btw the Search function using terms like 'AC10 EPS' could have been a useful place to start, giving you helpful posts such as this

I'd recommend trying the search engine for the forum before asking questions. That was just answered yesterday.

Unfortunately, the EPS export feature does not exist anymore.

I was just looking for the eps export today.

I remembered an old workaround in autoCAD that allowed you to print to .eps. Rather than a save as.
Seems to work here as well. The difference being, you need to set up the printer in windows rather than using the wizard in CAD.

Graphisoft actually has a tutorial on how to do this.

This works somewhat. Though I don't have the paper sizes I would like, which leads to some scaling rather than direct 1 to 1 export.

This is frustrating as pdf does not offer the kind of vectorial ability a postscript file does.
