PLT2TIF
PLT2TIF, is a high quality, simple and fast HPGL2 to TIFF (or PDF/JPEG) conversion tool.
High resolution high quality raster files can be created up to 600 DPI.
This is easy and works with almost all HPGL2/RTL files.
Plotfiles from ACAD14/2000/2002, Nemetchek, MS-Project and many other applications can be easily converted.
After conversion, a quick "WYSISWYG" final view is available. (On TIFF Output)
If you have trouble plotting, HPGL2/RTL files with plotters like Oce, Xerox, KIP, MITA/Utax or other monochrome plotters, then PLT2TIF can be used to convert the HPGL2 file into a monochrome TIF, and plot the TIF to the plotter.
With the XPro Version also PDF and JPEG can be created.
As PLT2TIF write raster PDF, line merges from ACAD are converted correctly.
Following output format can be written.
