Technical note

What changes when you convert PLT to STP

PLT is flat, so the conversion builds depth by extrusion: every closed outline is lifted to one height, set in millimetres in the 3D formats loading settings. An open line has no area to lift, so a drawing meant for extrusion needs closed contours. Every shape gets the same height, which suits plates, signs and logos, while parts at different heights need separate runs.

3D Workflow

From flat drawing to 3D model

Need a 3D STP from a flat PLT? reaConverter extrudes the outlines to the height you set and processes a whole folder in one run.

  • Set the extrusion height in millimetres before the run
  • Convert a whole folder of drawings in one pass
  • Keep unreleased designs and client models on your PC: nothing is uploaded
  • Script the job from the command line for pipelines and scheduled runs

We regularly work with PLT files from various CAD systems, and reaConverter has proven to be the most efficient solution for batch converting them into accessible formats like PDF and TIFF. Its ability to handle PLT files accurately, without losing line weights or scaling, is essential for maintaining the integrity of our technical drawings. Combined with command-line support and Watch Folder automation, it fits perfectly into our production workflow, saving hours of manual processing each week.
