Convert CDT to PLT

What is CDT file?

The CDT file extension is associated with the graphics suite of CorelDRAW. A CDT file represents an image template for CorelDRAW's vector capabilities and downloadable content (such as clip art images, clip art objects, and special effects). CDT files contain a starting canvas or palette in which CorelDRAW objects, like text, shapes, pictures and logos, can be placed. They can include embedded photographs, logos or other graphics that maintain their Vector format inside CorelDRAW. [ ⏩ ] CDT file extension

What is PLT file?

The .PLT file type is used with AutoCAD, a Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 3D modeling program developed by Autodesk. Such files contain print-ready information that can be sent to a plotter device, allowing AutoCAD images to be printed on paper. PLT files are specifically used for plotting two-dimensional vector graphics, while DWF files are used for plotting 3D drawings. A PLT extension can be generated in AutoCAD using the “Plot” feature of the program. [ ⏩ ] PLT file extension

How to convert the file from CDT to PLT?

To successfully convert the CDT file to PLT, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CDT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case PLT (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than PLT).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CDT to PLT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting CDT files to PLT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PLT, while before this step we had the CDT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PLT file, or not.
