 • Command Line mode allows automated conversions.

Handy conversion features:

 • Support multi-folio (multi-page) plot files. Each page is output to a separate DXF/DWG file.
 • Efficient output. e.g. makes use of R14+ DXF/DWG HATCH entity instead of outputting multiple lines.
 • option to join lines and arcs to single polyline.
 • output HPGL 'dot' as Point, or ignore, in preference to the HP defined 'unit length vector'.

Polyline Widths conversion feature:

 • If selected, all line entities will be output as 2D Polylines/LWPolylines with widths corresponding to the originating plot file Pen Widths.

Line Weights feature:

 • If selected, then for AutoCAD 2000+ versions of DXF/DWG Pen Widths in the plot file are translated to Line Weight values in the output file.

Output drawing rotation:

 • Apply a rotation to the translation. Available rotation values are 0,90,180,270 degrees.
