When
you plot or print a *.plt file all the line weight information
will be passed to the *.plt file from your chosen plot
style at plot time. When you send your *.plt files to
people, they only need this free utility to print the
drawings, no CAD application is needed, provided
they have a printer or plotter that can handle the size
of the page. The only information they need is the page
size.
Tip 1: When you create the *plt files
in AutoCAD, go to plot, plot device tab, select your
printer from the drop down list, click on the properties
button, then expand the area that says "graphics", click
on True Type Text and set the radio button below to
"True Type as graphics". This will make sure you are
not missing fonts from your prints.
Tip 2: Load the proper paper size in
your printer or plotter
