    Default Best Practice for Going SolidWorks --> Illustrator

    Unfortunately, I don't think SolidWorks exports EPS files. Does anyone know the best way to get SolidWorks content into Illustrator? Copying and pasting is definitely out of the question because SolidWorks and its files are on a different machine than Illustrator. DXF/DWG seems like the common denominator between the two. Anyone have any experience here? I'm using Illustrator 9 but this might be a reason to upgrade to CS if it was necessary. Thanks!

    I am not familiar with SolidWorks, but you might try using "Print" to save it as a PostScript or PDF file that should open in Illustrator.
