FAQ
CMD to HPG Conversion
What are CMD files?
CMD is a text file with cutting instructions for a machine that cuts flat sheet material. It describes a job as a set of numbered panels, which are the pieces to be cut out. For each panel, the file gives the holes to be punched, the outline along which the material is cut, the lines to be drawn or marked on it, and short text labels, such as FLAP. A cutting program prepares such a file from a design, and the machine follows its coordinates to produce the pieces, so the file is not a picture but a path for a tool. The same .cmd extension is also used by Windows batch scripts.
What are HPG files?
HPG is a vector image format created in a standard programming language called HPGL (Hewlett-Packard graphics language). Other extensions created in this language include PLT, HP2 and PL2. All are called "plotter files" and are created by drawing programs such as AutoCAD to be printed using a device specialized in vector graphics. An HPG file uses a line series of two-letter codes to render an image and can also include parameters.
