Hello Georg, hello Curtis,
thank you very much for the kind help.
Unfortunately it still does not work.
So just to get this right. What I include in LyX via Insert->File-
>External material is the original Xfig file .fig and not
some .latex file which I exported in Xfig!?
Now, when I do this and include the .fig file in my document and then
try to run pdflatex I get an error saying 'Empty output file was
created'.
Also, if I tick 'Show in LyX' when I include the .fig file, the
figure does not show up.
What am I doing wrong? Probably it is something really simple which I
should know myself...Sorry I'm a beginner.
Thanks.
Philipp

Hello,
thanks for your quick reply.
Basically this is what I have done, although instead of Insert-
External I used File->Import->Latex (Plain).
Don't use that for xfig figures.
I don't have Insert->External in my LyX version, which is 1.4.3, run
on a Mac. Is what I have done equivalent to what you suggest?
No. I cited the menu from memory and was wrong, the correct one is
rather
Insert->File->External material.
Probably I did not make this clear in my first post, but I can't
actually create a final document with the changes I made to the file,
because I get the error which I described earlier.
If you do what I suggested you will not get errors (of course this
assumes
that you did not enter invalid LaTeX in xfig text fields).
Georg
