Before you convert HPGL to WMF

HPGL stores a technical drawing with layers and line weights, and WMF stores artwork meant for display. Geometry comes across, but drawing conventions such as dimension styles and hatching are flattened into ordinary strokes and fills, which is fine for publishing and awkward if the file needs to go back into CAD.

HPGL to WMF Conversion: FAQ

What are HPGL files?

The .hpgl file format (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) is a text-based vector format used to control plotters and printers. It contains simple ASCII commands that direct pen movements to draw lines, curves, and text. Originally created for HP plotters, it's widely used in CAD, engineering, and PCB design for precise technical drawings. Its simplicity and compatibility keep it relevant in many design and printing workflows.

What are WMF files?

The WMF (Windows Metafile) format represents an image file with vector graphics, bitmap components or raster graphics, consisting mainly of drawing operations and commands. It was developed and released in the late 1980s by Microsoft and it included a 16-bit structure. In time WMF files were replaced by EMFs, featuring a 32-bit structure.
