FAQ: Where can a working converting program (hpgl->ps) be found ? I found one from 1988 at some ftp-site (I forgot which site) but this didn't work well. 2. Another possibility to include AutoCAD is to produce postscript files directly from AutoCAD (this should be possible as far as I know) and to include them. This depends a bit on your dvi->ps driver. >So far I dont know of any styles/utilities for LaTeX that allows >inclusion of plotter files directly. I agree.
