I don't think we'll ever support eps reading, it's just a horrible format and a reason that pdf exists. PostScript is actually a language, which means we would need a language parser and interpreter just to read and draw the damn thing. To make it editable is pretty much out of the question.

Ok. I think need close this ticket

I think in feature if somebody want release this function may be need converter to pdf or other format to open in libreoffice draw by using module like this: https://www.ghostscript.com/

Reviewing meta.xml of attachment 152265 [details] 'sample origin' shows OP is on MS Windows with 64-bit build of LO 6.2.4.2

As noted in bug 62051 on Windows some set [1] of helper files are needed to import EPS images--at a minimum GhostScript and Imagemagik for working with EPS as raster; and pstoedit to work with vector (but need the paid version for full resolution rendering).

Users of Windows builds need to take care of these helpers if they want/need to work with EPS graphics.

The see also bug 67464 details project effort to implement our own native ps/eps handling.

As a side note: when exporting to EPS from Draw, you'll have cleaner handling if you select portion of the graphic rather than exporting the full drawing canvas. Then check the 'Selection' box on the Export dialog.
