About converting MI to PDF
MI is the drawing format of HP ME10 and its successor PTC Creo Elements/Direct Drafting (formerly CoCreate Drafting), still common in legacy mechanical and equipment drawings. zumen-gate reads text MI files and gzip-compressed BI files in beta.
PDF is the easiest way to share, print, or archive a drawing for people who don't use CAD at all.
All conversions run through a single engine with a common intermediate representation. Every conversion produces a loss report tallying which entities were converted as-is and which were approximated or dropped — so you can trust the output, or know exactly why not.
FAQ
MI → PDF conversion — frequently asked questions
Will lines stay sharp when I print the PDF?
Yes — the PDF is generated as vector output, so lines stay crisp at any print size or zoom level. Check line weights and text placement in the preview and the loss report.
Will my drawing break when converting MI to PDF?
The conversion is a deterministic, structural translation through a common intermediate representation. After every conversion you get a loss report listing exactly which entities were converted, approximated, or dropped — so you can verify the result on the spot.
Is there a limit on conversions or downloads?
No. Conversions and downloads are unlimited, and no account is required. The only limit is 10MB per file.
What happens to the files I upload?
Transfers and storage are encrypted, and your drawings are never sold or shared with third parties. On the free tier, uploads are used to improve the service and train our AI models, so please avoid uploading confidential drawings. A no-training Pro plan is available — see the data policy page for details.
