The Import Module has limited support for plotter files in HP-GL format. HP-GL files may be included in a product for documentation purposes only.
Due to the nature of the HP-GL format it is not possible to reliably detect an HP-GL file without parsing the entire file. Therefore, the Import Module detects HP-GL files as Text (or Other, if the file contains plotter setup escape sequences).
To view an HP-GL file, right-click on the file name and choose Change file type|HP-GL. The file will be displayed in the viewer.
To include the file in a product, link the file to a User layer. It is not possible to link an HP-GL file to any other layer.
The HP-GL parser supports only a subset of HP-GL commands. In particular, there is no support for fonts, line styles, wedges or filling of polygons. Unsupported commands are ignored, which may give undesirable results.
