You could try using PLT2DWG in AutoCAD which imports legacy HPGL files into the current drawing, retaining all colors.  I wouldn't trust the results though.  Some entities may not survive the trip.

PLT2DWG can be entered at the command line or selected from Express Tools under the heading File Tools.

Introduction area?  It is to laugh.  Just plunge right in lad no need for introductions.  This ain't no gent's club.

Hi everyone. I was sorting through a bunch of old diskettes (believe it or not, I got a zillion of them from my old drafting service days) and came across some old .plt files. I used to know how to convert them back to dwg or dxf but that was a long time ago. Don't think I have the software for that anymore. Anyone deal with something like this before?

I'm new to the forum and didn't see an introduction section. Is there one?
