Subject says it all, I need to convert a PLT file into a DWG file or a file I can open in Autocad 2002.

I also have R14, don't know if that helps.

"Express Tools" is a bought package, that's added onto AutoCAD 2002.

R14, I believe has the "Bonus Toolbars" which is pretty much the same thing.

The "bonus tools" came w/ R14 for free. (I think)
Try looking under the "FILE TOOLS" in that pull down.
You should see the "Convert PLT to DWG".

Otherwise ... sorry in advance.

Express Tools Volumes 1-9 has been said to be available at http://www.tbaug.com/Main-web/lsp_files.htm but I cannot confirm nor deny this rumor :)

Try going to http://www.output.tmfweb.nl/ (Govert's Tools) he has a (routine, software ?)that will convert .plt to dwg.

Download IntellCAD software (Demo) and use it to convert PLTs to DWGs (DWF to DWG). I have done it once.

Download IntellCAD software (Demo) and use it to convert PLTs to DWGs (DWF to DWG). I have tried it & it really works but the scale wont be 100%.

RE: I need to convert .PLT file to .DWG file using 2002, how?

Hi,

What about plt files which are not in HPGL format? I've tried express tools and obviously I didn't obtain any result (in fact, the message of the software was the file is not a HPGL format). Also, with plot command from dos prompter I didn't have any result.

Untill now, I didn't see such kind of files (plt files which are not in HP format).

Any suggestion?

Regards
Fernando
