Export to EPS
Since i want to incorporate the schematic views of my circuits into LaTeX documents, it would be nice to have an export to eps functionality. Otherwise it is not possible to use psfrag to replace labels with apropriate fonts etc.
Great project anyway.
Hi Scytale,
I take it that Fritzing's export to postscript just treats text as pixels? Does Inkscape do the right thing if you open an svg file containing text elements, and then save it out again as eps? So then you could export from fritzing as svg, then open the exported file in inkscape to save as eps.
Oops, unfortunately, Fritzing's export to svg currently has a bug in that it doesn't export part labels, but that wouldn't take long to fix.

The export label bug will be fixed in the next release.

Yeah, thought about that svg workaround, too. But actually it would be much easier to have a direct export to eps (saves a lot of time...). At least inkscape is able to export to eps on command line.
Btw: As far as i know, postscript itself cannot handle tags/labels like eps does. So you cannot use .ps with psfrag.
Hi Scytale,
It's very unlikely that we'll get around to doing EPS export, especially if there's a route somewhere for converting to EPS from SVG. Of course, if someone volunteered to write the code, we wouldn't turn them down.
Cheers,

There are EPS print (to file) drivers out there. Like BullZip PDF print driver, but for EPS.
