Convert HPGL to DXF
| File Extension | HPGL |
| Full Name | Hewlett Packard Graphics Language Plot Format |
HPGL is a file format developed by Hewlett-Packard as means of communicating with plotter printers manufactured by said company. HPGL (oiginally HP-GL) is also the name of a programming language used for controlling printers created in 1977 and first used with HP-8972 plotter.
| File Extension | DXF |
| Full Name | AutoCAD DXF Drawing Exchange Format |
The extension .dxf belongs to the files of the type drawing exchange format files. These are the files that store graphical data in a digital format and often the output formats of Computer Aided drawing tools. The file is used mostly for the vector image files that are rendered using the Autodesk Software tools.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "HPGL") to another (referred to as "DXF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, HPGL file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format HPGL to format DXF becomes essential.
So, how can we perform HPGL to DXF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format HPGL and transforming it into format DXF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of HPGL to DXF converters.
Conversion from HPGL to DXF
How to convert the HPGL file to DXF?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of HPGL to DXF. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the HPGL file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file HPGL, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the HPGL file to the application
- Select the output format of the DXF file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file DXF on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted DXF file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
