geometric data from PLT files.

3D Sketch in a part or assembly document or a 2D Sketch in a drawing
document.

The PLT
File Format
HPGL is
the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language designed for specifying 2D
graphical information for the HP range of plotters. It was not intended
as an interchange format but some software suppliers use it as such.
HPGL is a command set embedded in the
ROM of pen plotters to help reduce the work required by applications
programmers to create plotted output. HPGL uses two-letter mnemonics as
instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols. HPGL
is the primary printer control language used by Hewlett-Packard
plotters. It later became a standard for almost all plotters.
