what is a .plt file?

The PLT file extension is a vector-based plotter file developed by Autodesk, Inc. to contain plotting details from a certain CAD or computer-aided design file. CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, is defined as drafting and designing with the assistance of a software specifically developed for creating technical drawings. In simpler terms, plotting basically means the act of printing the design created through the CAD software. Plotter files and the plotting details that they contain are vital aspects in any production of plans using a CAD software since technical drawings require an optimum level of preciseness and accuracy. Users may view and handle PLT files directly through its primary program which is Autodesk’s AutoCAD. Other CAD and graphics software can also be used to manage such files specifically IMSI’ TurboCAD and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. PLT files may also be converted to other file formats to enable opening and managing for other programs.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .plt. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
