Plt is a drawing format file, and plt file is a printer instruction file that conforms to the HP GL/2 specification. Large design institutes usually use this file to send printing tasks to the printer. PLT files can now be read directly by the print center, and can be printed in batches and puzzle output.

Plt file is similar to a template, it synthesizes a series of curves and graphs, after analysis, by calling the file, you can generate a lot of curves. You can usually open it with autocad or CorelDRAW.

Plt file is a printer instruction file that complies with HP GL/2 specification. Large design institutes usually use this file to send printing tasks to the printer. PLT files can now be read directly by the print center and can be centralized batch printing and puzzle output.

However, the PLT files generated by different print drivers may be different, and their instructions may not fully comply with the HP GL/2 specification. Even the PLT files generated by HP printer drivers are not exactly the same, some print drivers generate instructions with high efficiency, and some are inefficient. So how do you create an PLT file? The method is also very simple.

1. Open the design file DWG in the AutoCAD main program, as shown below:

Notice the scale of the drawing.

two。 Click the menu * * File * *-> * * print * *, and please note the settings:

Printer / plotter: the plotter set up in the first step, such as Desigen 750C 3195A.PC3.

Paper: select the custom paper corresponding to the current picture, such as the paper that is A4 in this illustration, choose ISOexpand A4 (210.00 to 297.00mm).

Print area: select all drawings by window selection.

Plot scale: set to the same as the drawing scale.
