File extension | .CGM |
Category | CAD File |
Description | CGM is good for storing vector/bitmap (raster) data, mostly alternately. Contrary to a common false opinion, it is not intended for transmitting CAM/CAD data. Files can be built in CAD and other programs, and it is convenient to use them for exchanging CAM/CAD renderings. CGM was designed to ensure easy exchange of elements of both types, and it uses 3 encoding schemes: character-based, ensuring minimal file size and easy data sharing; binary, providing easy access via software utilities; clear-text encoding, enabling users to edit files by aid of text editing utilities. |

File extension | .PLT |
Category | CAD File |
Description | Actually, it is not a format, as some people think. PLT (HPLG, Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) is the standard extension, which programs use while printing 2D graphics, particularly line drawings. Associated with AutoCAD, PLT files comprise vector graphic plotter files, which are also supported by OziExplorer, HP Graphics Language and Bentley’s CAD MicroStation. In order to print a PLT files, you should use a plotter, which uses linear drawing method instead of dotting images. |
