HPGL Import for Rhino is a plug-in that enables Rhino to import graphical data from HPGL Plot files.
If you're a Rhino user and in need of a plug-in to import graphical data from HPGL Plot (PLT) files, then the HPGL Import for Rhino is right up your alley. This plug-in is specifically designed for Rhino, giving it the ability to read data from HP range of plotters using the Hewlett Packard Graphics Language (HPGL). While HPGL was not originally intended to serve as an interchange format, many software suppliers have used it this way.
The HPGL Import for Rhino is a command set that's embedded in the ROM of pen plotters, helping reduce the workload of application programmers who want to create plotted output. It works with two-letter mnemonics that act as instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols. For HP plotters, the HPGL plot files encode pen movements, which the HPGL Import for Rhino can turn into Rhino entities, adding them to a new Rhino drawing.
The HPGL Import for Rhino supports plot files created by drivers for many different plotters, including the Hewlett-Packard 7475A, 7550A, 7580B, 7585B, 7586B, Draftmaster 1 (7595A), Draftmaster 2 (7596A), Draftpro (7570A), Draftpro-DXL (7575A) and Draftpro-EXL (7576A). This allows for flexibility when it comes to selecting the plotter that you want to use.
In terms of usage, the HPGL Import for Rhino is very easy to use. It adds a new file type to the Rhino File Open dialog box. To import a PLT file, select Open from the File menu.

Overall, HPGL Import for Rhino is a fantastic plug-in that is easy to use and works with a wide range of plotter drivers, giving Rhino users greater flexibility when it comes to importing graphical data. The plug-in is easy to navigate, and its intuitive design ensures a smooth user experience.
