About

ViewCompanion Standard is an application for viewing, printing and converting plotter files generated by your CAD program or plotter driver. ViewCompanion can open PLT plotter files using HPGL, HP-GL/2, KIPGL, HP-RTL and Calcomp formats. In addition to plotter files it can view, print and convert Adobe PDF, CGM, Autodesk DWF and Gerber files. One of the most important features is the ability to convert the viewed file into other formats. ViewCompanion can convert your files into several different formats. You may measure distances and areas using ViewCompanion's precise measurement tools with snap to drawing geometry. If your drawings are not in original scale (1:1) you may calibrate the measurement tools to provide correct results. Use ViewCompanion to annotate your files with markup elements like stamps, revision clouds, text notes, dimension lines, area measurements, barcodes, symbols, images and more.
