There is a DWF/Plotter switch in the Publish dialog (on the bottom). Choosing Plotter allows you to save to PLT file(s) when your plotter is set to output to file.
 
Please note that PLT is not a format, just a file extension - you have to choose a specific plotter model.

I am a real novice at this.  I am using 2006 version of autocad LT.  I tried the publish way and it converted the file to a DWF not a PLT.  What is the Batch Plot Utility?]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:22:54 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1539&PID=4219&title=cad-file-conversion#4219 <![CDATA[CAD file conversion : This is &#034;batch plotting&#034;....]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1539&PID=4218&title=cad-file-conversion#4218 Author: Vladimir Michl

This is "batch plotting". Depending on your AutoCAD version you can use either the Batch Plot utility or just the [CMD]PUBLISH[/CMD] command.]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:08:50 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1539&PID=4218&title=cad-file-conversion#4218 <![CDATA[CAD file conversion : I have a large number of DWG files...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1539&PID=4217&title=cad-file-conversion#4217 Author: Chester

I have a large number of DWG files that I need to convert to PLT.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how and what software to use to batch convert them?]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:02:25 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1539&PID=4217&title=cad-file-conversion#4217
