PLT Import for SolidWorks is an add-in that enables SolidWorks to import geometric data from HPGL Plot (.plt) files. It is a file import tool designed to enhance the software capabilities for working with PLT files.
If you're looking for an efficient way to import PLT files into SolidWorks® for the creation of curve objects, then look no further than PLT Import. This software is a handy add-in for SolidWorks that enables you to import geometric data from PLT files with ease.
PLT Import reads pen movement data stored in PLT files and imports it into SolidWorks. As you may know, a HPGL PLT file is made up of instructions related to pen movements of HPGL plotters. PLT Import for SolidWorks reads these pen movement instructions and creates curve objects in a SolidWorks document, which can be created as either a 3D Sketch in a part or assembly document or a 2D Sketch in a drawing document.
One of the great things about PLT Import is that it is straightforward to use as it adds new commands to SolidWorks. It also adds a submenu called "PLTImport" to the SolidWorks menu. The 'PLTImport' submenu contains several useful commands, including Import, Help, Register, and About.
Not only is PLT Import easy to use, but it also comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in no time. The software is perfect for those who want to import PLT files into SolidWorks quickly and efficiently.
Finally, it's worth noting that HPGL is the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language designed for specifying 2D graphical information for HP range of plotters. While it was not intended as an interchange format, some software suppliers use it as such. HPGL is the primary printer control language used by Hewlett-Packard plotters and has become a standard for almost all plotters.
