Hi,
I converted an SVG file to an EPS file but all the vector data were flattened. Is there any option in convert command that transforms SVG vector data to EPS vector data ?

Thanks.

My understanding is that Imagemagick is a raster processor. It will always convert vector data to raster (and then save in a vector shell). see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#vector

I think you may need to find some other non-imagemagick solution

You can use gsvg program bungled with ghostpdl package to convert SVG to PostScript or PDF.
The generated PostScript can be adapted to be used as EPS.
