.plt files,... How do I access them?
.plt files,... How do I access them?
(OP)
I'm currently learning how to do CT_DOT bridges and trying to figure out many things with this program. I love how the program is user friendly. Now, the companies that I have to send my files to prefer I send them in .plt format. I know how-to make .plt files, but I need to figure out how-to view and plot them,... If anyone can help me with this little problem, I would appreciate it.

The best way I beleive is to create pdf files using the pdf.plt it is an exact copy of what you have at the time of plot and is the easiest file to transfer as everyone has adobe acrobat reader so they can open it, see it and print it to scale, only limit is if they need it large format they need a large format printer but the same applies to plot files.. so my advice DON'T USE PLOT FILES use PDF instead as it is what is really the new Portable Data Format.. and you can even zoom in on a specific part of the drawing and just print that.. plus it can be difficult to tamper or edit a pdf but not impossible so most of us send pdfs by email for proof of concept or checking etc before we send that actual paper or electronic cad files.
