That comment from Aegis does NOT register with my version of reality. "… the plot file that Draw Plus outputs is a unique format…" Really? Interesting, as the Draw Plus manual ITSELF clearly states that the Draw Plus plot file is HPGL (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) format… which means it will directly drive almost any fairly current HP plotter (you did make it clear to them that you have an HP plotter, yes?). If you don't want to drive the plotter directly from the Amiga, the manual also includes information on changing the configuration files such that Draw Plus will generate whatever format plot file you might need. If it comes down to it, HPGL is very simple. So is AutoCAD's format. It should be very straightforward for someone to hack up a minimal converter program. I wrote one for BJD->IGES in a matter of weeks last year, and IGES is much more complex than either of the two you are dealing with. You might want to check with someone in your local user group. Rick
