Good block diagram image

Hello all,
I am trying to get a good EPS image of a block diagram to place in a
LaTeX document. The catch is that it must fit on one page, while the
block diagram, at true size, is about 2 pages wide. I have been using
the "Get Diagram Image Scaled" method with a BMP output, then
converting to EPS in Photoshop. Whether I resize in Photoshop or set a
max height and with, the resizing makes the text come out too garbled
to read. Any thoughts on how to prevent this? I don't care so much
about the VI icons (they should be visible, but it's OK if they're
garbled), but the text really should be clear. Is there anyway to
maybe scale it up before exporting, so that resizing doesn't make it
illegible? Any other ideas would also be welcome.

Thanks,
Maurice

Maurice,

There isn't a way to programmatically scale your block diagram text.  By far the easiest method is to do a Ctrl-A on the block diagram to select all objects, then a Ctrl-+++ to scale up all the text.  If you go quite a bit larger you may have to tweak things so they don't overlap.  You could then export the image and size back down using the same method.
