ViewCompanion Pro

ViewCompanion Pro is a very powerful, fast and user friendly HPGL Viewer application for viewing, markup, printing and converting HPGL plotter files, HPGL/2, HP-RTL, TIFF files, CALS files and other formats. Since most AutoCAD plot files (PLT) is using the HPGL/2 or the HP-RTL format, ViewCompanion can be used to view these files.

If you need to distribute drawings, e.g. on the Internet, you can convert your drawings to Autodesk Drawing Web Format (DWF), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or Adobe PDF. All these formats are very popular for distributing drawings.
You can even convert multiple files of different formats to a single multi-page PDF file. HPGL plotter files can be converted to AutoDesk DXF format, which can be read by almost all CAD application, e.g.: Autodesk AutoCAD and Microstation.

ViewCompanion gives you advanced functions for zooming and panning, so that you can view your files fast and accurate, before printing or converting them. The mouse wheel can be used for zooming and panning operations. Both batch conversion and printing is included.
