PLO to DRW Conversion: FAQ
What are PLO files?
The .plo file format is a variant of the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) format, commonly used for plotter files. Like standard .hpgl files, .plo files contain a series of vector instructions—written in ASCII—that control pen movements on plotting devices. These files are typically generated by CAD software and used in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing to produce precise line drawings. The .plo extension is often used to distinguish plot-ready files prepared specifically for output on plotters, while still following the HPGL command structure.
What are DRW files?
DRW stands for "Drawing" and represents a vector graphics format associated primarily with Corel Draw, but also with other advanced graphics design programs, including Microsoft Picture It!, Paint Shop Pro, Micrografx, Igrafx etc. The DRW format is supported both on Windows and Mac applications (on MacDraw and AppleWorks) and stores images and drawings constructed with lines or paths, instead of dots.
