"It's been very helpful having this software. We have many old .plt files that we have no way of opening any longer without the help of software like this. I find Total CAD Converter very easy to use. Thank you!"

"I use Inkscape to run a laser cutter. Inkscape does export as a PLT file but is very glitchy and more often than not fails. I have used another free converter available but the quality of the exported file was poor - with most curved lines being staggered. Total CAD Coverter converts in a smooth curve and gives many other export options."
