HPGL View 5.4

HPGL View by CERN is a lightweight, reliable viewer for HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plot files, designed to make inspecting, validating, and sharing technical drawings straightforward. It renders plotter output with high fidelity, including lines, arcs, polygons, text, and hatch fills, so you can review schematics, mechanical layouts, and other CAD/EDA plots without the original authoring tools or hardware.

Key capabilities:

• Accurate visualization of HP-GL/2 features, pen assignments, line types, and fill patterns
• Fast pan and zoom for detailed inspection of large or complex drawings
• Adjustable pen colors and widths, with options to show/hide specific pens for clarity
• Page setup controls (scale to fit, orientation, margins) for on-screen review and printing
• Export to common raster and vector formats for archiving or sharing
• Measurement and coordinate readouts to verify dimensions and placement

Ideal for engineers, scientists, archivists, and anyone handling legacy or modern plot files, HPGL View helps you validate plots before sending them to a printer or plotter, convert them to contemporary formats, and collaborate across teams—without extra overhead or specialized CAD software.
