You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .plt. Files with the file extension .plt can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .plt files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .plt file?
The PLT file extension is a vector-based plotter file developed by Autodesk, Inc. to contain plotting details from a certain CAD or computer-aided design file. CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, is defined as drafting and designing with the assistance of a software specifically developed for creating technical drawings. In simpler terms, plotting basically means the act of printing the design created through the CAD software. Plotter files and the plotting details that they contain are vital aspects in any production of plans using a CAD software since technical drawings require an optimum level of preciseness and accuracy. Users may view and handle PLT files directly through its primary program which is Autodesk’s AutoCAD. Other CAD and graphics software can also be used to manage such files specifically IMSI’ TurboCAD and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. PLT files may also be converted to other file formats to enable opening and managing for other programs.

There's also 3D modeling, that includes surface modeling, warframe modeling and solid modeling of 3D primitives like boxes, wedges, cones and cylinder. The Boolean operations to these 3D objects includes subtraction, union and intersection. 2D and 3D objects can also be operated by moving, rotating, mirroring etc. Viewing of these objects include multiple viewport generate, the use of the User Coordinate System (UCS) and viewing direction selection. Other electric draft functions are Dimensioning and Tolerancing, 3D images, Organization of objects and Plotting. The AutoCAD drawing exchange format uses a DXF File format, and for accessing AutoCAD database, functions of AutoLISP, ADS and API are used. AutoCAD uses a module to read and output data of graphics on a data file. this module is the IGES Interface. IGES format (ISO and ANSI) is used for communication of graphics data among several CAD and CAM systems.
The new version of the AutoCAD software which is the AutoCAD 2013, has features like the Section and Details View which has a model documentation tab that provides faster access. There is Full, offset, half or aligned to hoose from the section methods. Usrs can specify what boundaries they prefer which can either be rectangular or circular for the details view. The software also offers Strike-thru Text used for providing texts in documents. Mtext, Mleaders, Dimensions, Tables and ArcText has new strikethrough styles for them. The Autodesk 360 Connectivity feature of the software allows synchronization of files including the syncing of drawings and folders with the user's online account which is accessed directly within the software which enables file sharing with other users of Autodesk who has an online account, and users can also share their designs through their social media accounts. The software also comes with a PressPull too that is used to extrude and offset curves to create surfaces and solids. It also lets the user select multiple object using a single PRessPull operation.

what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .plt. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
