Amethyst PLT-2-DWG

Amethyst PLT-2-DWG is a lightweight software application developed specifically for helping you convert PLT files (HPGL/2) to AutoCAD DWG and DXF file format. This is a standalone utility. It does not require AutoCAD to be present on the target computer in order to carry out the conversion process.

Simple design

You are welcomed by a plain layout that allows you to tweak the conversion parameters in a short amount of time. PLT files can be imported in the workspace using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support. A help manual is included in the package and can be accessed in case you do not manage to tweak the setup options on your own.

You are offered the freedom to create a list with multiple PLT files that you want to process. The tool reveals information about each item, namely location and status. In addition, you can add the content of an entire folder, include subdirectories, and remove the selected items or clear the entire workspace with a single click.

Conversion options

Batch actions can be employed for converting multiple PLT files at the same time. What’s more, Amethyst PLT-2-DWG gives you the possibility to choose the output file format from a drop-down list.

Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to choose the output folder, maintain directory structure, ask for confirmation before overwriting files, use HPLG or AutoCAD color palette, as well as increase or decrease the size of the text.

The application offers support for an integrated log which stores details about the conversion process and possible errors. Plus, it lets you read log data in a separate panel, print log files, and perform searches.

Tests have pointed out that Amethyst PLT-2-DWG carries out tasks quickly. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the PC is not hampered.

Final ideas

To sum things up, Amethyst PLT-2-DWG comes packed with several handy features for helping you carry out conversion tasks, and can be handled by rookies and professionals alike.
