Ricardo,

Open it to do what, view it?

If you have the Express Tools installed type..."plt2dwg". It seems that only certain ones can be converted but maybe worth a shot.
Good luck

PLT2DWG only translates Plot files that are in HPGL format.

Hence why I said only certain ones. His might be, worth a shot ;)

I'm not trying to step on toes here, I was merely expanding upon what you had posted. You didn't mention why it only translates certain ones, so I thought it was worth mentioning. I apologize if you took offense. By all means, give it a try, but if it doesn't work, it's because it's not HPGL format.

Just to add, I have not seen an HPGL plot file in a l o n g time... That ET has little value these days.

We use Oce Repro Desk to open the .plt files before we send them to the printing company to make sure they're correct. This is VIEWING ONLY! If there are changes that need to be made, the .plt file needs to be re-made thru AutoCAD.
