What is a HGL file?
HGL is a variant of the HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) format, which is used for sending vector graphics to plotters and printers. HGL files contain instructions for drawing lines, curves, and shapes.
Though not a 3D format in the traditional sense, HGL is used in CAD and architectural workflows to generate vector-based output from 3D designs.
How to open HGL files
HGL files can be opened using vector graphics viewers like AutoCAD, CorelDRAW, or dedicated HPGL viewers. They are used for plotting vector graphics from CAD applications.
You can convert HGL files to formats like PDF, SVG, or DXF using AnyConv or HPGL converter software.
