Description | HPGL is a language, whose elements form strings, which are directed to a printer and command it to draw linear (not dotted) objects. HPGL files are appreciated for compact size and easy rendering. Each HPGL instruction is represented as a code consisting of two letters and one or several numbers. As a rule, HPGLs contain sets of commands. To name a few, IN launches the drawing operation, CI25 stands for a circle (radius 25 mm); PU10,70 gets the pen up and to the point, which has coordinates 10, 70. There are several utilities out there working on different OSs, which you can use to open these files. |

Category | CAD File |
Description | DXF (Drawing Interchange File Format, Drawing Exchange Format) was intended as a universal extension to boost the compatibility of documents created in AutoCAD. Based on ASCII, it shows better compatibility than DWG. For instance, the Valve Hammer Editor exports 3D data in the DXL format, so that other programs can be used to open them. Over its history, which started in 1982, the DXF format has undergone numerous transformations. |
