.eps scaling

Jan 05, 2005 10:29

Attention, graphics geeks. Do you have any idea how necessary you are to the world? And how much i love you? Esp if you know anything about the following:

Today's shiny dime goes out to anyone who can tell me anything about exporting a document into an .eps format and how to "scale" it. Supposedly if you save to .eps on a graphics program, like Photoshop, you have the option of setting the file to xx% of itself in order to save memory.
I'm working in vectorworks, which is a drafting program that allows for export of drawings into .eps, but does not have a scaling dialog when you go to do so, like photoshop does. It just asks one what kind of preview one wants, and saves that 100% of its size. So, since the person recieving the dwgs needs them to be "scaled", what to do.
I don't assume too many people know much about vectorworks, bcs it's a sort of weird little program, but you might know this: What is this scaling process, what does it do, and could i replicate it by, say, just scaling the image itself down, or setting it up to print at xx% of itself?
Take care,
-F.

PS: please don't send stupidass unrelated flames, like "no one cares what u think, huhuhuhuh", or links to a fake "i <3 emo" site, &c. I know that somewhere deep inside you is a mature, intelligent person with a life, just waiting to suffocate the rest of you with a pillow in its sleep, and i wish it luck and appeal to its otherwise calm and sensible nature.
