This command is available in both the ANSYS and DISPLAY programs. It is valid for Hewlett Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) format files selected in the ANSYS program with /SHOW,HPGL (or HPGL2), or with /SHOWDISP,HPGL (or HPGL2) in the DISPLAY program.

An output file is generated for each plot. The ANSYS file is named JobnameNN.HPGL. In the DISPLAY program, this file is named HPGLnn. This file remains open for a subsequent /NOERASE plot, and will be incomplete until the program is closed (/EXIT), or until the next file is opened by the next /ERASE plot request.
