Horace, Using the copy/paste shortcut turns the graphic into a WMF file. These do have some shortcomings (such as a lack of curved lines - they're all minuscule straight-line segments, text can be garbled, colours are converted to RGB if they were in a different colourspace to begin with). To get good EPS drawings, output to the Distiller printer instance from AutoCad to create a postscript file. Then use Acrobat to crop and export the PDF as an EPS (set for PS Level 3 and set all fonts to be embedded). To create really high-quality output from AutoCad, look at a tool such as CadPublisher at http://www.jwgraphics.com.au/Products/product_cadpublisher.html There is a demo version available for the "Easy" and "Pro" products. Have a look at the FAQ section here for more info on Cad drawings into FM.
