Before you convert PLT to DWG

PLT and DWG both store drawing entities rather than pixels, so lines, arcs, and text come across as editable geometry. What can be left behind are objects that belong to a specific application, such as proxy entities written by a vertical CAD product. Open the result and check those areas before passing it on.

PLT to DWG Conversion: FAQ

What are PLT files?

PLT is a vector image format representing the HPGL standard language developed by Hewlett-Packard for printing line drawings. HPGL is supported by AutoCAD and other CAD software programs. PLT files represent plotter images that can be printed using a computer printer specialized in vector graphics (called "plotter"), which renders images as lines not as dots.

What are DWG files?

DWG (which stands for "Drawing") is a proprietary format of AutoCAD, a program widely used for creating engineering and architectural projects. The format is also a default extension used by several other computer-aided design (CAD) pieces of software, including IntelliCAD, Caddie or DraftSight.
