PLO to GBR Conversion: FAQ
What are PLO files?
The .plo file format is a variant of the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) format, commonly used for plotter files. Like standard .hpgl files, .plo files contain a series of vector instructions—written in ASCII—that control pen movements on plotting devices. These files are typically generated by CAD software and used in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing to produce precise line drawings. The .plo extension is often used to distinguish plot-ready files prepared specifically for output on plotters, while still following the HPGL command structure.
What are GBR files?
GBR is part of the Gerber group of formats — a set of standardized extensions used in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber files include 2-D representations of various PCB images, such as copper layers, solder mask etc. They can also describe the electrical connections on such boards, or drilling and milling info associated with them. Similar formats include GBS, CMP and SOL.
