VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Converts a HPGL file into a Cadsoft Eagle script. Usage:

hpgl2cadsoft.pl --input <inputfile.hpgl> --output <outputfile.scr> --scaling <scalingfactor>

DESCRIPTION

This program converts a graphical file in HPGL format into a script file that you can run in the Cadsoft Eagle board editor to import the graphic into your board file.

It allows you to scale the output by using a different scaling factor.

Only the input file is required, all other parameters are optional. If the output file is not specified, it will be generated by stripping the extension from the inputfile and appending the 'scr' extension required by Cadsoft Eagle.

If scaling is not defined it will default to 342.3151, the scaling factor required for 1-1 mappings from Inkscape DXF import to millimeters in Eagle.
