PLT files exist as 3 different types. Please find information about each of them below.
Type 1: AutoCAD Plotter Document

PLT files use lines for printing instead of dots. They are based on the HPGL standard for printers. Programs supporting PLT allow vector printing. To open AutoCAD Plotter Documents when issues arise: First double click the icon. If an associated program exists, the file opens. If unsuccessful, ensure AutoCAD is installed. Search for AutoCAD to check.
PLT files have vector plotter data from AutoCAD. This CAD software drafts technical drawings. Plotting prints the CAD design. PLT files contain print instructions and objects. Plots can input to printers or engravers. The ASCII commands specify features like size and color.
Other software uses PLT too. Tecplot has binary PLT frames for visualizations.
PLT links to the wrong program. The system then starts an incorrect application instead. To fix this quickly: Just double click to open. Have AutoCAD installed for association.

Tecplot 360 is a Computational Fluid Dynamics software for post-processing simulation results. Tecplot products support two binary file formats: Tecplot Subzone (.szplt) and Tecplot Binary (.plt). The .szplt format is optimized for large datasets and enables improved performance. The .plt format is the legacy format.
The PLT file extension may be a Tecplot 360 Binary Plot Data file. PLT files contain output data from computations in Tecplot 360. They may have multiple frames and datasets. PLT files render 2D and 3D visualizations. An ASCII text format is also offered by Tecplot but it renders more slowly.
PLT files may also be data files from the visualization program MODTRAN or AutoCAD plotter documents with vector data. Tecplot 360 is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Free online PLT tools allow viewing, editing, converting, merging, splitting, and comparing PLT files.
