Please note that you can also rotate the output file at 90, 180 and 270 degrees as well as choose the decimal place threshold. The application provides you with accurate information regarding the entire conversion process on the lower part of the main window.

User-friendly and efficient graphic converter

This said, are looking for a quick way to convert HPGL, HP-GL and PLT files to formats widely-supported by AutoCAD or other CAD apps, then HPGL2CAD surely fits the bill.

For some users, the only drawback might be the fact that it does not come with a built-in viewer, which, truth be told, could have slowed the app down quite a lot.

Features :

Allows wild card file naming to be used - i.e. translate *.plt, *.hpgl, etc

Support multi-folio (multi-page) plot files. Each page is output to a separate DXF/DWG file

DXF files can be read by AutoCAD and most other CAD software, as well as a large number of other graphic applications
