HPGL Export for Rhino is a plug-in that enables Rhino 2.0 to export graphical data into HPGL Plot (PLT) files, expanding the software's capabilities.
For those unfamiliar with HPGL, it stands for Hewlett Packard Graphics Language and was created to specify 2D graphical information for the HP range of plotters. HPGL is a command set embedded in the ROM of pen plotters and uses two-letter mnemonics as instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols. HPGL Export for Rhino breaks down Rhino entities into pen movements and writes them to the output plot file.
One of the major features of HPGL Export for Rhino is its compatibility with a number of 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).
As far as usability goes, HPGL Export for Rhino is incredibly straightforward. It simply adds a new file type to the Rhino File Save As dialog box so that users can select "HPGL Plot Files (*.plt)" from the "File of type" combo box and export their designs to a PLT file.
All in all, HPGL Export for Rhino is a must-have plug-in for any Rhino 2.0 user who needs to export graphical data to the HPGL format. Its easy-to-use interface and broad compatibility make it a top choice for professionals in a range of industries.
