What is a .PMP file?
A .PMP file is a type of file used in two different contexts. Firstly, it is known as an AutoCAD Plot Model Parameter File, which is used in the AutoCAD software, a program used by engineers and architects for designing and drafting. In AutoCAD, a .PMP file stores settings for plotter calibration to ensure accurate and consistent printing results. To create or modify a .PMP file in AutoCAD, you would go to the File menu, choose Plotter Manager, and then select or adjust a corresponding PC3 file which is related to printer settings.
Secondly, the .PMP extension is also used for a development project file created by PenguinMod, which is a modified version of the MIT Scratch platform. Scratch is a visual programming environment that lets users create interactive stories, games, and animations. In the context of PenguinMod, a .PMP file is essentially a renamed .ZIP file. This means it is a compressed file that contains all the project's assets needed to run or edit the project in PenguinMod. These assets typically include a .JSON file which holds the project data, one or more .SVG files for vector graphics, and possibly additional image and audio files.
To open a .PMP file in the PenguinMod context, you can rename the file extension from .pmp to .zip and then open it like any standard ZIP file using common file compression software available on various platforms. Once renamed and extracted, you can use the PenguinMod software or the PenguinMod Packager on the web to work with the contents of the file.
In summary, the .PMP file extension can refer to either an AutoCAD Plot Model Parameter File or a project file for PenguinMod. The method to open and work with a .PMP file depends on the context in which the file is used—either through AutoCAD for plotter settings or by renaming to .ZIP for use in PenguinMod projects.
