This plug-in gives IntelliCAD powered applications the ability to import Geometric data from HPGL PLT files. HPGL is the Hewlett Packard Graphics Language designed for specifying 2D graphical information for the HP range of plotters. It was not intended as an Interchange format but some software suppliers use it as such. HPGL is a command set embedded in the ROM of pen plotters to help reduce the work required by applications programmers to Create plotted output. HPGL uses two-letter mnemonics as instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols. HPGL plot files contain information regarding the movement of the pen of the HP Plotter. HPGL Import for IntelliCAD converts these pen movements into corresponding Entities and adds them to the active drawing.
