User Voice: File Compatibility in ZWCAD+ Makes Architectural Collaboration Easy
Review by Prakash Vishwanath Katkar –Founder of Rui Interiors
http://ruiinteriors.com/
Success metrics:
- Drawings done at a faster rate
- High quality design output and reliable drafting functions
- Strong DWG compatibility, fully compatible with other mainstream CAD software
- Cost-effective alternative for existing CAD system andhuge benefits of cost reduction
Challenge:
Rui Interiors is one of the leading organizations in the commercial interiors, architectural and service facilities. Everyday various vendors will send them their drawing files in different formats, requiring a huge amount of time for format conversion. Simply investing indifferent CAD systems does nothing to solve this problem but merely further increases costs.The answer is a 2D design software program that can provide strong enough compatibility to address the multi-platform issue within a single CAD system.
Solution:
Rui Interiors found it difficult to collaborate with multiple vendors using diverse file formats,however after using ZWCAD+, their main problem has been solved. They can open and edit designs created with other mainstream software at a faster rate with ZWCAD+. With its reasonable price, they are delighted with ZWCAD+ and have recommended it to their vendors as well.
Industry: Interiors, Architect
Benefits:
DWG File compatibility
Easy to usefunctions
Fast & reliable performance

PDF definition from Wikipedia:
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to represent documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[1] Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. In 1991, Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system called "Camelot"[2] that evolved into PDF.
While Adobe Systems made the PDF specification available free of charge in 1993, PDF remained a proprietary format, controlled by Adobe, until it was officially released as an open standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008.[3][4] In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-1 granting royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are necessary to make, use, sell and distribute PDF compliant implementations.[5]

convert .plt to .dwg file, convert .plt to .dwg autocad
I have a lot of plt files, how can I convert plt file to dwg file in autocad, is there any function available to do that?
First of all, you need to make sure that your plt files were plotted with HPGL Standard, i.e. they were plotted by Generic SHPGL plotter or Generic LHPGL plotter in AutoCAD. And then you can use PLT2DWG function to convert the PLT files to DWG drawings.

plt meaning from Wikipedia:
HP-GL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language; often written as HPGL) is a printer control language created by Hewlett-Packard (HP). HP-GL was the primary printer control language used by HP plotters. It later became a standard for almost all plotters. Hewlett-Packard's printers also usually support HPGL in addition to PCL.

What is DWG format? What program open .DWG file?
Question: I received a .dwg file of a drawing in an e-mail, but none of the programs on my computer will open the file to let me view it. Which programs will let me?
Answer: Hi, DWG means drawing, it is a CAD file. You will need to have the AutoCAD program or ZWCAD+program to open it. ZWCAD+ provide 30 days for free trial.
Here are some information from wiki:
DWG(DraWinG) is a binary file format used for storing two and three dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages including AutoCAD, ZWCAD and so on. The .bak (drawing backup), .dws (drawing standards), .dwt (drawing template) and .sv$ (temporary automatic save) files are also DWG files.

Extrude 3D Polyline
how to print a 3d view
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 3D models shows as faceted in CAD.
Solution:
In ZWCAD, set the variable ‘Facetres’ to a higher value, this variable is used to adjusts the smoothness of shaded/rendered /hidden 3D model. Valid values are from 0.01 to 10.0, the higher the value is, the smoother the 3D model looks like.

CAD tips: File extension SV$, what is SV$? How to open SV$ file?
Issue:
After using ZWCAD for a while, you find there are some file with SV$ as extension in your folder. What is this file? How to open it?
Solution:
The SV$ file is automatically saved DWG file. If you start the automatic save option, your drawing is saved at specified time intervals. By default, system assigned the name filename.sv$ for temporarily saved files, filename here refers to current drawing name.
The temporary files are removed automatically when a drawing closes normally. However, these files are not deleted if there is a program failure or power failure. You can recover the drawing by reverting to a previous version of your drawing from the automatically saved file. In order to do that, you have to rename the file using a .dwg extension. You can find SV$ file from “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp”

CAD hot tips: merge layers in order to move all the objects on a certain layer onto another layer.
Issue:
There are so many layers in the drawing and some of them are redundant. You want to put all the objects from a redundant layer onto another layer, is that a quick way to make it?

The 3D Orbit is convenient to control the interactive viewing of objects in 3D. But running it may be a bit inconvenient, you need to run command RTROT or select it from toolbar. Is that any short cut key to run it?
Solution:
The short cut key to run 3D Orbit is Ctrl+Shift+the left mouse click.
As a bonus tips, there are more short cut keys for 3D viewing:
· Ctrl+Left mouse button: Realtime 3D Zooming
· Ctrl+Right mouse button: Realtime 3D Paning
· Ctrl+Shift+Right mouse button: 3D orbit around Z-axis
