ViewCompanion Pro™ is a very powerful application for viewing, printing and converting HPGL, HPGL/2, HP-RTL, TIFF, CALS and other formats. Since most AutoCAD plot files (PLT) is using the HPGL/2 or the HP-RTL format, ViewCompanion can be used to view these files.
Conversion is one of the most important features in ViewCompanion and it can convert to the following formats:
Adobe Postscript™
Adobe PDF
AutoDesk DWF
AutoDesk DXF
CALS Group 4 Raster
Computer Graphics Metafile
Gerber RS-274X
JPEG Raster
Paintbrush PCX (PCX)
Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
TIFF Raster
Windows Bitmap (BMP)
Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
Windows Metafile (WMF)
No extra applications or drivers is needed for the conversion to the different formats. More details about the conversion formats can be found here.
If you need to distribute drawings, e.g. on the Internet, you can convert your drawings to Autodesk Drawing Web Format (DWF) or Adobe PDF. Both these formats are very popular for distributing drawings. You can even convert multiple files of different formats to a single multi-page PDF file.
You can also use ViewCompanion to convert HPGL files to AutoDesk DXF format which you can read in any major CAD application, e.g.: Autodesk AutoCAD.

With ViewCompanion Pro you can add markups to the loaded file. Supported markup elements includes rectangles, ellipses, polygons, text, arrows and images. Hyper links can be added to markup elements, and a hyper link can either open another drawing in ViewCompanion, or open an Internet location using the default browser.
Markup elements will be stored in a separate file and the original file will be left unchanged.
Markups can be included when the viewed file is printed or converted.
ViewCompanion gives you advanced functions for zooming and panning, so that you can view your files fast and accurate, before printing or converting them.
The mouse wheel can be used for zooming and panning operations.
Both batch conversion and printing is included.
