    Question HPGL & CadKey 19

    I like to use Front Pannel Designer for the occasional quick project. Its one of those on-line program set-ups that they provide the software; you make your design/pattern; it instantly quotes you... Click send and in a few days its at your door.

    Here is my dilemma. I Use CadKey most of the time and I want to export/convert some of my .prt files to a HPGL file (so i can import to Front Pannel Designer). Does anybody know of a cheep(read freeware) PRT/DXF/STEP to HPGL converter? Or mabe a better solution?

    Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you set up an HPGL printer and do a print to file to get the HPGL output. They may want a specific printer driver to use for the import, but HPGL is really just pen moves.
