PLO to DGN Conversion: FAQ
What are PLO files?
The .plo file format is a variant of the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) format, commonly used for plotter files. Like standard .hpgl files, .plo files contain a series of vector instructions—written in ASCII—that control pen movements on plotting devices. These files are typically generated by CAD software and used in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing to produce precise line drawings. The .plo extension is often used to distinguish plot-ready files prepared specifically for output on plotters, while still following the HPGL command structure.
What are DGN files?
DGN stands for "design" and represents an extension typically used for CAD (Computer Aided Design) files created with Bentley Systems' MicroStation or with IGDS (Intergraph's Interactive Graphics Design System) — two popular programs used by architects, engineers, constructors and designers. DGN files can include sizeable building projects with a rich amount of details, usually have a very large size and can be viewed with a limited number of CAD programs.
