AutoCAD 2010

[#1]

A customer has sent his drawings to us in .plt format.  I want to just print these, but cant find a way to do it (using windows 7).  Looking for other options now.  Is there a way to convert them to .dxf, dwg or pdf?

It depends on the plot driver that make the .plt, sometimes it works with your printer.

I tried the Go-Plot but could not get it to print the file.  I tried sending it to my pdfcreator and all it output was a blank page.

I also tried the "Printfile", and got the same blank page.

Not sure at all what they have sent me,  but I'm pretty sure its not blank.  Any ideas?

I was able to convert it to .pdf with KIP printer driver

[#5]

I just googled and found the "KIP PrintNet Client". Is that what you used to print to pdf?  Dont know what you mean when you say you converted it with KIP printer driver.  I have a few more to do and possibly more in the future so I would like to know how to do this myself.  At least I know it wasnt a blank page... haha.

The Kip driver comes with software called Kip Request, it keeps track of paper used and charge the clients.

This KIP request let you convert .PLT to .TIFF or .PDF

Kip used to post it on the web site, but I have not visited the site to see if they are still freely available.

I was able to download and install the KIP Request 7.  I then converted all the .PLT files to PDF.  Thanks.
