[Tex/LaTex] EPS to pdf conversion

epsepstopdf

I am getting problems while updating the eps files. Can anyone help me how to use this package. I used inkscape software to draw the image and saved it in .eps format. Then i used epstopdf package in my latex script then using includegraphics i gave the file name, but i am not getting proper output, and there is no error message also. Can anyone help how to use this command. Is that i have to use some more packages? or is that there is any other way to save eps files from inkscape?
Please help…

Minimal example:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oldfontcommands]{scrartcl}

\usepackage{siunitx} % to recognise the written description of si-units and   make the acronym. 
\sisetup{%
inter-unit-product=\ensuremath{{}\cdot{}},
per-mode=symbol
 }

\usepackage{nomencl} 

 \usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
 \usepackage{import}
  \usepackage{gensymb} 
  \usepackage{textcomp}

  % ********* Font definition *************
  \usepackage{t1enc} % as usual
  \usepackage[latin1,utf8]{inputenc} % as usual
   \usepackage{times}
   \usepackage{epstopdf}
   \usepackage{nameref}

  %********For high quality figure (e.g: Matlab figures in latex )**********
  %\usepackage{tikz} 
  \usepackage{tikz-cd}
  \usepackage{pgfplots}
  \usepackage{epstopdf} % converts .eps image files to .pdf on the fly
  %\usepackage{xelatex} % converts all the image formats to .pdf on the fly
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
 \usetikzlibrary{intersections}
 \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing}
 \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
 \usetikzlibrary{arrows,positioning,shapes.geometric}
  %\usepackage{tikzpicture}
 \usepackage{supertabular}
 \usepackage{longtable}
 \usepackage{multirow}
  \usepackage{footnote}
 \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}
 \usetikzlibrary{patterns}
 %\usepackage{ucs}
 %\usepackage{subfigure}
 %\usepackage{subfiles}




 \begin{document}


 \begin{figure}[!h]
 \begin{center}
 \includegraphics[width=6cm]{thick}
 \caption{Thick walled pipe}\label{fig:Thick walled pipe}
  \end{center}
  \end{figure}

\end{document}

output of the image :

Best Answer

It seems as if tikz-cd loads a graphic package with the draft option if none is loaded. To have the correct output you have to load the graphicx package before epstopdf.

A (more) minimal working example is:

% !TEX TS-program = pdflatex
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics[width=6cm]{thick}

\end{document}

You will notice that if you comment out \usepackage{graphicx} and \usepackage{tikz-cd} compiling results in several errors and no graphic is shown.
