| 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. |

HPGL is somewhat dated and is not as widely supported as DXF. Converting HPGL to DXF can make your files more compatible with modern CAD software, facilitating easier collaboration and file sharing.
The need to convert HPGL to DXF arises from the former’s declining support and the latter’s widespread acceptance in CAD applications. While there are multiple ways to perform this conversion, the best method for you will depend on the complexity of your files and your security requirements.
Our tool converts an uploaded copy of your original file. The original file stays on your computer and is unaffected by the process. There is no risk of data loss by conversion.
Also, your data is safe with us. We delete all uploads from our servers after one hour. In other words, an hour after you upload your files, those files are purged from our servers forever. You don't need to worry about your content being stored on the server.
