Convert HP Graphics Language plotter document to AutoCAD drawing.

We have found one software suitable in our database for this conversion.

plt to dwg conversion covers the export of 2D CAD plotter documents to DWG format, or the recovery of previously exported files back to the original.

While some kind of export or recovery this way is possible (geometry), you will never be able to 100% recover the original and have to remake it again once the core of the plotter file is translated to vectors. This is mainly because .plt files do not contain full information about the individual original entities.

Various vector graphics or CAD tools should be able to help you with this, but their capacity to read and translate .plt files may wary greatly.

The table with program actions contains information about what each program is capable of doing with their files. This may be a good pointer for further searches for certain file conversions and help you find the converter you are looking for if our search result is insufficient for you. However, it is far from perfect and may sometimes show results which are not really usable because of the nature of the software handles the files. So a conversion that appears as possible, just because of matched actions, may in fact not be possible.

PLT

Files with plt extension are most known to be plotter files in HPGL format. Used for printing large graphics on HP plotters.

DWG

Files with dwg extension are used for the original CAD format originally introduced in Autodesk AutoCAD. The latest version of DWG format is usuaually proprietary and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it but not create its proprietary form. Because of this, DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format so that they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs.
