Hi,

I thought they already were in HPGL format, and all you have to do is rename it. Try this, take a file and make 4 more copies with 4 different extensions as follows, .plt, .hpg, .hp2, and .pl2 (I will also write in CAPITALS, .PLT, .HPG, .HP2, .PL2)

Now send these files one at a time to an HPGL Plotter. You can copy files over to any Windows Computer with an HPGL Plotter hooked up, however the Plotter may need to be configured to handle HPGL within windows, and also on the Plotter itself, using the Plotters Operator Panel.

You might have to take the individual pieces and use a drawing program or utility if you want entire patterns rather than individual pieces, because cut files have other information mixed in that HPGL Plotters cannot recognize.

Most Plotters will ignor unrecognized information and will print most of the information, and hopefully that will be satisfactory. Also keep in mind that there are 2 formats for HPGL, i.e. HPGL and HPL2.
