ViewCompanion Standard
|
ViewCompanion Standard® is a powerful application for viewing and printing HPGL, HPGL/2 and HP-RTL files
generated by your CAD program or plotter driver. Since the HP-RTL format is supported, your HPGL/2 files with embedded images will be shown correctly.
One of the major features in ViewCompanion is the ability to convert the viewed file into another format. ViewCompanion can convert to the following file formats:
Autodesk Drawing Web Format (DWF), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and Adobe PDF are very useful and popular formats for distributing drawings on the Internet.
You can also use ViewCompanion to convert any HPGL file to AutoDesk DXF format which you can read in any major CAD application, eg: Autodesk AutoCAD.
The ViewCompanion HPGL viewer have advanced functions for zooming and panning, so that you can view your plot files fast and accurate, before actually plotting them.
The program also supports Microsoft's IntelliMouse for zooming and panning operations.

Batch printing and conversion functionality is integrated into the program.
The Pro version also allows you to add markups to the loaded file.
Among the supported markup elements you will find rectangles, ellipses, polygons, text, arrows and images.
Markup elements will be stored in a separate file. The original file is not changed.
The Pro version can in addition to HPGL, HPGL/2 and HP-RTL, also view, print, convert and markup TIFF, CALS, JPEG, BMP and PNG files.
All new licenses include 12-months of free software maintenance.
