The HPGL Import for AutoCAD plug-in adds functionality to AutoCAD versions 2000-2004 by allowing the import of geometric data from HPGL Plot (PLT) files.
If you're an AutoCAD user looking to import geometric data from HPGL Plot (PLT) files, then HPGL Import for AutoCAD may be the plug-in you need. This software is compatible with AutoCAD versions 2000, 2000i, 2002, and 2004.
For those who are unfamiliar with HPGL, it is the command set embedded in the ROM of pen plotters used to specify 2D graphical information for the HP range of plotters. Although not intended as an interchange format, some software suppliers use it as such. HPGL uses two-letter mnemonics as instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols.
Converting pen movements into AutoCAD entities, HPGL Import for AutoCAD is designed to add pen plotted output into your current AutoCAD drawing. The software can support plot files created by multiple plotters such as Hewlett-Packard 7475A, 7550A, 7580B, 7585B, 7586B, Draftmaster 1 (7595A), Draftmaster 2 (7596A), Draftpro (7570A), Draftpro-DXL (7575A), and Draftpro-EXL (7576A).
Using HPGL Import for AutoCAD is very straightforward. After installation, it adds a new command to AutoCAD called "HPGLIN". Type "HPGLIN" at the AutoCAD command prompt and select an HPGL Plot file to import. Overall, HPGL Import for AutoCAD is a simple tool that can help AutoCAD users easily import HPGL geometric data with minimal effort.
