Hello Peter; 
 If you want to convert your printer driver configuration files from .plt file to a .pltcfg we have a Bentley Communities Wiki article that steps through the process: https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_printing/w/wiki/13570/how-do-you-convert-a-plt-text-plot-driver-configuration-file-to-a-pltcfg-xml-file 
 If not what you are looking for, please provide us with more information as previously requested. 
 I hope this helps!

Hi Peter! 
 As Jan asked, Could you clarify "Plot Files"? 
 The old ascii based .plt files still work. Although the newer xml based .PltCfg have newer and more robust features/settings. So it would be to your advantage to convert the .plt to .PltCfg. 
 Pen Tables work as before no changes. 
 If you are turning out specific output files (.000) and sending those to specific plotter. They should still work, as long as the plotter is supported and the plotter supports them. 
 There were changes made to Batch Plotting, it is now Print Organizer so you may need to generate a new Print Organizer .pset to replace the old Batch Plotting files 
 I-Plot files?
