One way to export an Encapsulated PostScript file to an AutoCAD DWG file is to use a program, such as Adobe Illustrator, that will open EPS files and then convert the file to the DWG file type for use in CAD programs. Adobe Illustrator enables you to save the EPS document as a DWG file for AutoCAD, versions 2000, 2004 and 2007. Select the AutoCAD version when specifying the export file type.
Step 1
Right-click on the EPS file to show the File context menu.
